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.

Relaxing and Comfortable
Pros:

I was surprised for a Saturday night, it was not fully or even way occupied because it's such a nice and affordable place to stay. I would stay again!

It was fine for a quick one night stay
Pros:

Proximity to Atlantic City hotels was perfect with plenty of places to eat in the vicinity.

Cons:

No refrigerator or microwave in room. Although there was a microwave in the washer room. I think it was overpriced.
