We made reservations here for March 16th 2007. The day we were supposed to go an ice storm covered northern NJ. Knowing the storm was on its way, we called the day before to cancel. An extremely rude and insulting man at the hotel laughed at my wife when she explained that we didn't want to risk our lives driving... more

Stayed here the weekend of 2/24/07 for pleasure. First trip to Atlantic City, and felt that the hotel was reasonably priced in regard to location (compared to the other hotels). The hotel has a sort of run-down feeling to it from the time you walk into the lobby. Everything seems dark and dated. Check in was easy, and the staff... more

Just an all 'round bad experience. Immediately after checking in, I advised the front desk that their wireless network wasn't showing up in my list of networks. I tried calling the number provided in the room for network support and received voice mail (no response was ever recd to my msg). I asked the front desk if I could speak... more

I really don't understand any of the negative reviews. I have been a regular here for 15 years. The location is great. No, it's not on the boardwalk, but it's less than a minute walk. It's right by The Tropicana, and the Havana Tower. The rooms are ample size, there is plenty of heat, and the water is really hot.... more

This hotel is very out dated and I found out upon checkout that they are closing for good in January 2007. I guess that is why they haven't done any recent renovations. The parking lot is shared with the Holiday Inn and you have to walk through the Holiday Inn lobby to get to the street and then walk a... more

This room wasn't as bad as all the other reviews. We stayed here free from a Timeshare presentation trip. I was terrified after reading these reviews. We got there around 1:00 and they accomodated our early arrival and gave us a room. The room was dated but very clean pillows comfortable. Bathroom very dated but really what does that matter... more

The location was fantastic and the service was nice. After staying in a casino the night before, my expectaions were high, and this hotel met them. It was within walking distance to just about everything and the rooms were really nice. I got excellant internet connections there and was much more comfortable on Chelsea Ave then on Tennesee Ave. I... more

This place has got to be the worst. The elevators where horrible. They didn't work, they would jump, the door wouldn't close. I was with my 65 year old mom and she had to work the stairs on more than 1 occasion. The place stunk, the carpets were so grimy and dirty. The toilet bowl wouldn't flush. I don't know... more

My friend and I found this only available room left in Atlantic City on Friday night. We thought we were lucky... The non-smoking room's so stinky that I can bearly breath. The room has a bad air circulation; window is full of dust and can not be locked well; the shower is not powerfull. I tried to sleep on the... more

I stayed here about two years ago and found a not so bad place. So what if the hookers were working out back. They did not bother anybody and it is a sure bet an areas with hookers is an area with heavy police presence. We booked the casino coin bonus package and let me tell you it was good... more
