Econo Lodge Beach and Boardwalk

Place is located behind Tropicana staff was ok did not want to honor hourly extended stay after it was confirmed on phone. Room was clean but needs work towel rack falls off, shower head coming off the wall but, beds are comfy ok for overnight. Morning breakfast ok. I would rather stay at la renaissance on Kentucky avenue.

3 ladies stayed in a double bed room. The sink and mirror are outside the bathroom which allowed us all to get ready at once. Everything was very clean and extremely bleach smelling but hey it was clean! I would go back and actually am going back! It’s most affordable and right across the street from tropicana! #thumbsup

We arrived at Atlantic City. Around 7:30 PM we have driven a long way and was looking for a nice looking but yet cheap. There was very loud music playing around 12 am. And we had to get up around 4 am to drive on our trip.
The beds and room are not to shabby. «You get what you pay for». Just remember you want a cheap hotel on the boardwalk that is also next to the Tropicania this is the place for you.

If you’re looking for clean, great location and inexpensive you’ve found it. It’s across the street from the Tropicana. Parking is free a free. The boardwalk is down the block. Once I parked I didn’t use my car again. Walked to the boardwalk for lunch, to the outlets to shop and the Tropicana to party. The room itself was really clean. Bathroom is a little dated but got the job done. Will definitely stay here again.

This place is exactly like many describe on any of the rate sites like Trip Advisor or the Econo Lodge site itself. Just a worn out property which looks like it is just held together by a thread & duct tape! Outside appearance is terrible from walls to doors to walkways & stairwells. Black mold on our shower ceiling, fruit flies hovering around and a continental breakfast that makes most low end hotel’s breakfast assortment look like a casino buffet! LOL OJ was like water and so was coffee. Mini-​bagels? seriously? Milk in a gallon container and syrup still in its 1’2 gallon container? The standard «sorry» with that phony smile when u bring these deficiencies to their attention is their answer to «fixing» the problem. These lodge owners really need to find some other place to invest their monies and stay out of the lodging business completely because they run these properties into the ground. After reading many similar comments on other sites, the consensus is the same and why Choice hotels, the franchisor continues to allow these properties to represent their hotel line is beyond me. I am still waiting for a response from them from their home web site and wonder what the room and Comfort Inn property will look like in Glasgow, KY when I have a 3 day stay there in 2 weeks! LOL Never know what to expect & what is in store for your stay when you see a particular group behind the desk when you walk in! Some of the following reviews I think were written while under the influence! They would of had a better experience sleeping under the Boardwalk in their self described conditions and purposes for using this facility to retire.

My boyfriend and I just finished up a 3 day 2 night stay here. The only good thing really about this hotel is that the board walk is within walking distance and has parking space. Our stay started with the man in charge of the parking lot giving us no sense of direction just handing us a ticket and demanding $ 5 from us. It really wasn’t a problem until we got to the front desk then they asked us for another $ 10. I told them i had already paid the guy and was told to go back out there and ask for my $ 5 back.
When i approached the man for the money I had no ill will and just tried to explain the situation. He immediately goes on the defense, telling ME that I should have told him i was staying at the hotel and not just using the lot… I’m sorry? I, someone who has never stayed at this hotel before, was supposed to know that there was a difference in price? That the ticker you gave me has now gone to waste?
Maybe instead of just shoving tickets in peoples hands you should ask if they are a guest of the hotel or just looking for parking.
Like others have said the hotel was pretty small, stained and chipped paint on walls. Uncomfortable beds and an odd smell of cats/​cigarettes. And the breakfast was mediocre. Just some cold cereal, mini bagels, and the standard waffle maker.
With that being said it wasn’t an unpleasant experience but I definitely will be spending my money else where next time.

I was supposed to pay that day. When I reserved the night a month ago, I was directed to the 1 – 800 number after calling the hotel directly. I used a credit card to hold the room and repeatedly told him DO NOT CHARGE THIS CARD for the room. He assured me it would not be charged. When I arrived, they told me my card was charged at 1 pm that day, and that if I did not want it charged I should have called the hotel. But when I called to book it directly with them, they sent it to the 1800 #. Then at check out, they told me I had five minutes to get out the room. Greedy, rude, money hungry bastards. I will never stay here again.

Honest staff, helped me out big time when I was in a bind.
In a hungover stupor, I left a very important piece of jewelry in my room. On the bus back to NY it dawned on me, and I freaked out. Luckily, I remembered exactly where it was, and I called the front desk. They immediately sent room service to look for it, and found it. I then sent them a prepaid envelope and a few days later my jewelry was back.
Leaving an expensive piece of jewelry in a discount hotel can end very poorly. The front desk at the Econo Lodge earned a faithful customer, can’t thank them enough!

This is by no means a 5 star hotel. It’s a room, close to the beach, and it is pretty cheap. So why 4 stars? It’s a room, it is close to the beach, it is pretty cheap, and they have pretty good service.
I stayed here for two nights over a weekend with my girlfriend. Although it was a smoking room, we really couldn’t tell one way or another. If you stay on the 2^nd floor, the wi fi is pretty spotty, so don’t expect to get an easy connection. During our stay our AC unit kinda «fell» out of the wall and broke. With in an hour or so while we were out at breakfast, they had fixed it and gotten our room back down to a cool 68.
The staff there was quite friendly and very helpful.
I’d definitely go back. If they could get there wifi issue sorted out on the 2^nd floor, I’d give this place 5 stars.

We decided to stay here for New Years Eve weekend due to the lack of comp rooms at the Tropicana for the holiday. It was pretty good for a budget motel and I happened to find a great rate on
for it. It was also a plus that it was across the street from the Tropicana (our preferred casino). The room and bathroom were very clean and the furniture was in decent condition, if a bit dated. They offer free parking, in addition to a complimentary continental breakfast (served in a small area next to the front desk). Free WiFi is offered, but I was prompted to enter a pin code on a web page immediately after connecting to the Econo Lodge network on my iPad. I tried calling the front desk to inquire about the pin, but no one would answer the phone. Overall, the stay was pleasant and would consider staying there again only if I ended up in the same predicament.
Room Tip: The 2^nd floor rooms (rooms 200−2xx) appear to all be smoking rooms. I did not recall being asked for a preference online or at the desk. Ours was a smoking room, but smelled fresh so it was not an issue. The 2^nd floor rooms will also be a challenge to anyone with walking difficulties as there are only stairs to get upstairs. I did not notice any ramps or elevators.

A five star motel it is not, but for the money, it was okay and the location is good. The place is not spotless, and the neighborhood sucks, but the staff was accomodating and even let us in the room early, and helped carry our stuff. It is a located in a very busy area/​intersection, so if you’re a light sleeper, this isn’t for you. We had the room with the in-​room whirlpool, but there was frequently no hot water! And, the heat was not adequate, although we stayed there during BITTER cold and windy weather, but I don’t think the room got above 64 and the bathroom had no heat at all and a leaky window. The linens were disgusting and the room stunk like an old bar from cigarette smoke, but it was about ½ the price of a casino. If the whirlpool had hot water, and the heat been adequate, I might have given it three stars.

For 150.00 a night on a Saturday it was a good deal, especially compared to staying inside one of the casinos. Don’t expect the Ritz, the bed is clean and the bathroom small, but their tv hardly has reception and the décor is a bit stained. They do offer free parking and you are in walking distance to the boardwalk and the Tropicana… which is actually really nice since they remodeled and expanded.
A good value!

I agree this Econo Lodge is no Econo Lodge Breezewood Pennsylvania but at the time I finished a long trip and this did the job. The hotel was under 50 dollars for a two bedroom. It did the job.
