Amazing staff. No issues. Want a top notch 5 star go to the casino. If you dont have a lot of money but at least looking for essentials(clean room, hot water, clean bed sheets) this is what you have when you get a room here. Prices suck where ever so get over it!

Its a lot nicer than what I expected. Room was clean, the staff in the front desk were really nice. The hotel was a lot cheaper than other hotels around. I loved how close it is to the boardwalk. The only bad was our bathroom door didnt shut. And the noise from all the traffic and the maid cleaning the rooms but it wasnt too bad . we survived and were really happy. So if you're looking to save money while your on vacation this will be the place to stay. I will suggest to the management to try to keep the outside of the hotel a little cleaner because it causes a bad impression when you first walk in. Blankets shouldnt be out in the hall . Or any garbage. Just a little suggestion !! l

I was pleasantly surprised given the reviews that were posted here about the hotel. The room was actually beautiful very clean clean bathroom nice and cool clean sheets clean towels huge bed with lots of space in the room nice big screen TV I actually have nothing to complain about the hotels in a great location if you’re looking to be on the boardwalk and go to all the many casinos such as Tropicana it was literally right across the street I had the best time and it was great because it was my birthday celebration I would definitely stay in this hotel again it does look a little sketchy on the outside I won’t lie but once you get into your room you have nothing to worry about the cable was great nice hot shower and most important it was clean I loved it!

Stayed here for the first time for Memorial Day weekend 2022 ; Room was nice and simple. Nice shower , big walk in closet with safe. Air conditioning super cold, Room was right across from Tropicana hotel & boredwalk. We stayed two nights, room service came in when we weren’t in the room & took all of our dirty towels and replaced them with new ones. Lots of different channels on the tv , and employees were nice. There are NO type of bugs roaming around, bed was comfortable, pillows super comfy. You cannot beat the price compared to what the hotels wanted on the boredwalk. We enjoyed our stay and we would come back definitely!

I have stayed here a couple of times & it is my go-to place when not staying at a casino! The price tends to be good for what you get & the rooms are clean! Also as a bonus, you are literally seconds away from Tropicana & the boardwalk! Definitely recommend it to anyone who does not want to break the bank but wants to enjoy a night in AC!

Room was clean, front desk friendly and easy to book. There are no microwaves in the room, but they do have one in the lobby for guests to use. The refridgerator was better than what you find in most hotel rooms - there was a fridge on bottom with an actual, separate freezer on top. Another plus here was that each room has a sliding glass door to a patio/balcony, and they provide chairs and small tables to be used in these areas if you like.

Not a bad motel for the person on a budget. I stayed for a few nights, it was relatively quiet except for street noise. Decent sized rooms. Good place to smoke and eat.

We were attending an event at the Tropicana...wasn't willing to pay those prices. Picked this location since it was 'cheap' and across the street (thank goodness, since there was a blizzard that weekend!). Instead of the $800+ at the tropicana (when we had a conference/seminars most of the day for 3 days), we paid $160. Bed was comfortable, room was clean (smelled like it had been recently painted). Unfortunately we had no microwave, fridge had not been plugged in for a while (so it was musty and warm). May have given it 5stars if those were good. check in seemed annoyed (but, it was 330 am, we did call to give a head's up). The poor dude who was in charge of shoveling 3 the stairs, walkways, and at least the 3 of us in that parking lot! That was a TON of snow (It was up past the bumper of my Prius). They need a contract with a plow to help get the many parking lots clear. Overall, it was worth it for us, and will probably stay there next time the event is held.
