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.

Just ok. It was a lot cheaper than the other nearby hotels, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, nice staff, small but adequate breakfast.

Cons:

Our 3 day stay was greeted each day with this terrible aroma as you walked down the hallway. I couldn’t pinpoint what it was but thought it might be from the pets. I also didn’t like the fact that there was no housekeeping.
