We arrived at the hotel at 11pm was in room by 11:30. I get my luggage and you have to go through a maze to get to the elevators. i was on top floor! Then i walk down the hall saw the maid said Hi to her *no responce* . Walk into the room and get a wiff of Tacos yes Tacos it smelled like a mexican fiesta. COuldn't they febreeze? The room itself was okay. The carpet was clean but the wall ehh they were Nasty the border of my balcony was black and the walls were stained. The bed was comfy, the bathroom the shower was a little nasty but not too bad. The balcony was BEATIFUL i had ocean view it was wrap around you cou;ld see the ocean great part of the bay -1 for seeing a crummy motel next door. At night time the lamp was not plugged in i wasnt i repeat NOT touching that wall. The Tv was great nice flatscreen. TIP bring your own pots my kids wouldnt eat ebcause they siad their food tasted like metal and it did the metal was so old it cripped in the oven. THe fridge was good not dirty. Now checking out, THey better fire that nasty snappy woman. I walk to the desk and ask for towels the ngith before checkign out. She looks up and says "Your goign to have to wait" it may sound good on here but she said raspy and snappy. She finnaly peers over the desk and says liek im not supposed to be there "can i help you..? Agian odd tone. I finnaly get the towels. Now checking out i got the manegar John i think his name was! He was awesome! I had trouble with my card that it wasn't goign through he sorted it all out! +1 for him he was nice, eh also was the runenr he got everyone int heir rooms their towels etc. Thanks John :)
This hotel should get 2 stars but because of balcony beds and john it got 4.

“We always have a pleasant stay!”

Every year in June, my cousin and I go to the beach for a few days to relax, shop and lay on the beach. We usually always stay at the Atlantic. I have never in all my years going here had a bad experience!! I cant say enough about the staff, and how accomidating they are! They are always there with a warm smile, prompt with whatever our needs may be! Our rooms have always been clean, and have a wonderful view. I would encourage anyone to stay in this hotel, its very nice for the price.

Room Tip: ocean front are really nice views, second floor or higher

“Oceanfront and inexpensive at the beach!”

We went for a few days and had a great experience. We got a great rate, they even bumped us up to a suite. Service was fast and attentive. It is indeed an older hotel and does show it's age but for the price and being oceanfront I couldn't do any better anywhere else.

“Waaaaayyy overpriced”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Pros: on the beach, rooms large.

Cons: bathroom sink about ready to fall off. Hair dryer blows room fuse (twice). No ice machine, no ice trays in freezer. Phone did not work very well (had maintenance guy come up and fix, but continued to have problems contacting even front desk). Beach chairs had to be returned by 6 pm. Check in not before 4 pm, and no late check outs past 11 am. Furniture beat up, shower head not attached to wall, all metal fixtures had rust. Had the look and feel of a communist apartment complex. No screen on sliding glass door, zero free electrical outlets. Wifi only worked in half the room. Pool small and in parking lot. DO NOT GET JOLLY ROGER COUPONS THROUGH THIS HOTEL - only good for 4 hours in the afternoon. Cost - all this for $300 a night?? Lesson learned here.....

“A Little Pricey But Good Overall”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel last year and liked it so much that we decided to return another year. This year, we stayed in one of the 5th floor King Oceanfront Efficiencies and definitely could not complain. We paid $259/night, but that is a competitive price if you have been shopping around the other hotels. The room was definitely very clean and spacious. Had all working appliances (coffee maker-didn't try it, don't know how it was, microwave, oven, fridge). The refrigerator and freezer kept our items extremely cold. The AC in the room actually worked SO well that we had to turn it DOWN a few nights since we were so cold. The view from the 5th floor is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone here, from the hotel workers, ladies cleaning the rooms, receptionist, to other vacation goers, were EXTREMELY polite! I actually could not believe how friendly people were, it's great to know that there are a lot of wonderful people still left in the world!

The shower is small and the water pressure is not that great, but really, are you looking for a "great" shower when you go on vacation? I wasn't, so I don't understand when people complain about such minor things. Those who gave this hotel negative reviews had to have a horrible experience ( I don't know how that's possible unless you are annoying vacationers) because I could not find one thing wrong with this place. The pool does it's job too. Yeah, it is little, but there is a massive ocean only steps away. Again, I would definitely recommend this hotel to others, don't listen to the negative reviews!!!
