A waste of money. This can’t be called HOTEL, it’s more like a Motel at best, screams cheap and greedy owners. U would think a room at $200 per night will have basic stuff like mini fridge and microwave, well not at this place, and they have the audacity to describe their rooms as luxury rooms.It’s 2025 and much more affordable places have it, For the price point guests shouldn’t leave the room to heat up their food around random people or not have access to cold beverages in the comfort of their “luxury rooms” the one microwave in laundry area is shared between all guests**. The ac was extra loud, room was extra small and the bathroom faucet gushed water everywhere when in use. Also one of our beds smelled terrible, as if bedsheets/comforters weren’t fresh, it had dried blood stains all over; requested new ones and guess what? They couldn’t even bring it to my room, I had to go get them and change everything myself, past 10pm. Mediocre customer service, also they have ONE key per room, no key cards, just old school keys, we and a bunch of other people had to wait like 20mins after checking in for staff to remove the steel keyhole cover. Will not recommend or stay there again.

Front desk manager was nice and welcoming. Toaster was very old and not cleaned in awhile. But a lot of options for a continental breakfast. Only begals. No white or wheat bread. No apple juice only orange. Overall breakfast was not too appealing. The steam from the shower starts to drip from the ceiling. Shower pressure was not good n shower head old n rusty.. overall the ppl who worked there was very nice.

Booked this hotel for one night because it was affordable and a short drive into Atlantic City to see a show. The room did not have all the amenities as described like no many refrigerator or coffee maker. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had good water temperature and pressure. We brought a white noise machine…thankfully because it was loud at night with people and dogs. The parking lot was full of trash, trashcans were full and spilling over, and we didn’t see any staff on site other than the person when we checked in. We won’t return.

I was waiting to put my review because im waiting on my discount & refund that i probably won't be recieving because theyre so "busy". Dealing with Gio & Reyna. Anyway im 8 months pregnant. Our first day of check in our room was HOT the ac wouldnt go under 65 & kept shutting off in room 406. At 1am we had to move to another room to another floor because i was literally dying & couldnt sleep. Get to new room 242, much cooler. Next day after pool taking a shower no hot water. Figured maybe just in that moment let it slide didnt say nothing yet since we complained so much about ac. Day of check out showering again, again no hot water. When i checked out spoke with Gio "front desk manager" he asked what i wanted & i said just some type of refund, discount should not have dealt with any of that. Said to call back monday cause he needed an approval & she wasnt answering i said okay. Called Monday still didn't speak with Reyna cause shes so busy. Im like okay well now what ?? Like definitely should be handling my issues. Said to try calling back or hed call me back but nothing yet & its thursday now. Hopefully this will help others not get screwed over like myself.

Jennifer, the part-time worker Giovanni need a full-time with a full-time worker were amazing. They make sure we need anything we were last minute. They accommodate us on the moment we walked in the door and we have nothing but kudos for the whole team even guys behind the scene housekeeping and that the groundskeepers everybody was amazing and the pool was perfect. It was 5 feet. Like a personal size pool my own down for this location and I think the difference should be a little softer but if you have a bad problem, that’s the bed for you. It was comfortable. They are stiff.
