  • Friendly staff at front desk.
  • Non smoking room and bed spread smell like cigarette smoke.

“The front desk clerk was pleasant upon our arrival. The room was fairly clean but the sheets and bed spread smelled like cigarette. But
I would return there if i had too.”

  • Close to garden state parkway, clean, and inexpensive.
  • Poor security, rear entrance to motel unlocked, and noisy room.

“I won't stay here again. The walls are paper thin, every noise is heard. The exhaust fan in the restroom sounded like a motorcycle engine with no muffler. The good points about this place are location to highway, very clean rooms and friendly staff. The hotels down the road seemed newer.”

  • The staff was awesome, saw to our every need!
  • It is hard to get to, but that has more to do with the state of NJ roads than anything.

“It quite possibly was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. We were a little disappointed that there wasn't wireless internet, but we were able to hook up to an unsecured network across the street, once we got to our room, to check e mail. We were also initially a little upset that they gave us a queen bed, instead of two doubles, but they quickly and readily remedied that. I was amazed at how friendly everyone was. I just have to repeat, this is the cleanest hotel I have ever seen. If in the area again, we will definitely stay there again!”

“Breakfast mediocre although likely appropriate for price level (despite no effort my mgt to provide preserves after they ran out on 2nd day or our 4 niter stay).”

  • The king size bed rooms were perfect for the price! The manager kantar was great!
  • Nothing I didn't like.

“This hotel is perfect for the price and location plus the king bedrooms are great! Nice and spacious and the hot tub was a nice touch to get romantic. Particularly the staff is fabulous. The manager went far beyond his duty to accommodate us. Personally I would highly recommend this place.”

  • It had a bed! Housekeeping was the life-line to that hotel.
  • The woman at the front desk was not an informative source to the surroundings. Made my stay at the start very uncomforting.

“I would not stay there again. I was sent to an occupied room but beforehand I was lost and the woman at the front desk had no sense of directions to the hotel and could not seek a source to help me.”

  • Staff was bad. Really bad!

“Staff is not good! Made me wait for 30 minutes. Just to decide which room to give. The guy kept calling his boss. Asking what room should he give me. 2 bed/1 bed/ king size. Total mess-up! Me and my wife waited for 30 minutes!”

“This hotel was very beautiful and clean. The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were beautiful and the bathroom was very clean. I stayed 3 nights at this hotel and was very comfortable. This hotel is located at the ideal location and is only minutes away from Atlantic City.

  • Nothing.
  • Everything.

“If the hotel was more presentable it would make you want to stay but when you walked in is was not in orderly fashion. So I just left without any other reservation back up but having to pay for another place to stay was hard. Will not use that hotel ever ”

  • Close to Atlantic City and eating establishments. Great Jacuzzi.
  • Very small continental breakfast.

“I would return. Comfortable bed, clean linens and bathroom, good price for Atlantic City. If you are looking for a view however, this is not for you.”
