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.

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.

A major disappointment.

No one at front desk to check me in. Had to wait 20 minutes for someone to show up to complete checkin. No coffee maker in room. Complementary breakfast doesn’t open till 8;00 & extremely poor choices. I was there two nights. No housekeeping during the time. One working elevator that creaked and groaned.

Lots of restaurants that are walkable. Rooms were very clean and the employees at the front desk were very friendly. I took off the star because the air conditioner wasn’t as strong as I wish it was and also please be careful in the bathtub as it is extremely slippery when showering. We had to put a towel down so we wouldn’t slip and fall.

Don't even think about staying here. Still having nightmares. This place shouldn't have been open while renovations were being completed. Doors didn't lock properly. Cops were on scene numerous times for overbooking issues. The pool. Let's just say it was a dirty hot mess as well. Every other floor of the small hotel (I use the term lightly) was out of order. There was water leaking from the ceiling straight to the office area. Just don't!!

We attempted to check in at 3:05 pm and there was barely one person handling check in. At nearly 3:45 pm we finally got to the counter and received our room key, went to our room and it smelled musky, the window was letting on wind and a terrible sound, there was no remote control for the tv anywhere! Called the front desk 3 times before I got an answer, was told he was alone and was checking people in that he couldn’t help until he completed checking in people. I immediately started inquiring about other hotels in the area and their availability. We left and found a much better hotel about 10 minutes away, I demand a refund and suggest your site take that hotel off your list of options for further bookings. Totally and completely unacceptable.
