Consistently noted as convenient—close to Atlantic City, supermarkets, and nearby dining; location is one of the stronger aspects mentioned.

Amenities were limited or inconsistent: no in-room fridge/microwave for many, bistro often closed, only one working elevator reported, and limited room-service/housekeeping availability.
Value for Money
8.5
Several guests found the hotel affordable and a good value for the price (one said they got more than expected), though at least one guest felt it was overpriced; overall perceived as good value by multiple reviewers.
Food and Beverage
6
Breakfast was described as light and served late (around 8am) and generally poor by some guests; however, one guest appreciated kosher food availability.
Overall Experience

Reviews are mixed but many guests would stay again and found the property affordable and conveniently located; significant issues (cleanliness, amenities, occasional rude staff) lowered experiences for some, but positive location/service/value comments dominate overall sentiment.

Cons:

When our Employees arrived on site for a 5 day stay, I originally requested 6 rooms. The entire place looked deserted. no cars, no people at the doors were locked. all the tables and chairs were stacked off to the side. This was about 4pm. They found someone walking around the back and the worker was incredibly rude. He also added we'd need to pay an extra $100 for our trucks. Mind you not a single car was in either parking lot.
I cancelled the reservations immediately because it was an uncomfortable situation for our employees. still waiting for a refund which will likely not get because I can just tell by that one simple interaction.
Do not recommend.

Poor quality hotel with False advertising
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

The property looks abandoned when you pull up, you can’t get room service ( cleaning) unless your there for 3 days so if you need towels or toilet paper you must go to the desk and they have to go get them for you, the inside of the building looks broken down in many areas and poorly up kept, they have a bistro that is never open, the free breakfast isn’t served until 8am and it was horrible, staff doesn’t look thrilled to be working there, only one elevator works, the beds were as hard as a rock and my shower had pubic hairs all over it, I brought my own cleaning products and cleaned the room before we could use it. The hotels a dump.

The location was great but the stay was a bit uncomfortable.
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The room AC was extremely loud and we had to turn it down in order to get some sleep. The bed sheets were stained and the room didn’t have all the amenities listed. Also the included breakfast was a very light breakfast which was not expected.
