Birthday weekend

I mistakenly booked this hotel thinking it was another best western that I had previously stayed at. When we got there it was already too late to cancel or switch to the other location. I did not like lay out of the rooms and having to go out in the bitter cold to get ice or go to the front desk to get an extra towel that they wouldn't bring to us. We didn't feel like the room was very clean but didn't find anything to say otherwise. However after the first night on our way to breakfast we passed what we assumed to be the window of the office and saw a huge bug and lost our appetite. I will discourage any friend from staying here. I only wish I could show the picture I took of the bug.

Clean, friendly staff, small rooms. Just stayed 1 night so nit was good enough. Nothing major. When I went to check in I was offered a room with a King sized bed over my Queen bed & a Jacuzzi for only $5. So I obviously took it. Not much of a difference but still a good deal.

Inexpensive, clean, convenient

Stayed one night to see a show in Atlantic City. This is a basic hotel, with no real surprises. It was clean and comfortable. There were some minor difficulties in communicating with front desk staff: they were pleasant, but not completely fluent in English. Toilet paper holder came off the wall. It's a little tricky to get to the right side of the road to head to Atlantic City, but other than that, it was fine.

couple getaway

The room was very clean. The mattress was very comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic. They let me check in a little early and check out a little late, free of charge. Great value for the money. The pool looked clean, although we didin't use it.

Not perfect but one of the great.

I stayed overnight and nothing was misplaced. Everything was just like any good hotels. It was a night that cured me and my family's tireness from our long long day.

There could be some kind of party or entertainment at night. For people who have no interest in T.V or just staying in their rooms.

Great Breakfast

The hotel was nice overall. The room was very clean and modern, bathroom seemed very clean. The pool was small but no one was in it so it was like a private area. The breakfast area is very clean and modern, big screen tv and tables set up for eating and cathing the morning news. Waffle maker was great! We really enjoyed our stay

Vacation 2011

The hotel said they had a pool which they did however you could not swim due to alge. It was a nice room and it got cleaned everyday. We had stayed in other hotels in the area in the past and our room was not cleaned. It was also a short drive to A.C. however you had to drive about a 1/2 to do a uturn to get to the hotel.
