Our room had stained bed sheets, a rickety AC and an odd smell. I read the reviews and they seem favorable. The front desk staff told me that they're under new management so maybe is hotel is starting to go downhill.

Booked this hotel for one night because it was affordable and a short drive into Atlantic City to see a show. The room did not have all the amenities as described like no many refrigerator or coffee maker. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had good water temperature and pressure. We brought a white noise machine…thankfully because it was loud at night with people and dogs. The parking lot was full of trash, trashcans were full and spilling over, and we didn’t see any staff on site other than the person when we checked in. We won’t return.

The property was clean. The room that we rented was clean. The shower wasn’t all that great but the bathroom was clean. There was no microwave in the rooms. Using the microwave on the floor was inconvenient and really dirty. We seen a pool on site, but it was really small. Overall, it’s the best one outside Atlantic City if you are not staying on the Beach. Conveniently located 15 minutes from AC.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room smelled stale like it had not been cleaned in a while. My boyfriend I were kinda of scared to sleep there. Dark & dingy looking. Glad it was only for a night, but for $260, I really want my money back. The shower took a while to get hot.
