Econo Lodge

First timers at the hotel. 10 miles from Atlantic City. Worth the drive. Rooms were clean, beds and pillows were exceptional for hotel quality. In the midst of renovations but well worth the price. Booked through

This hotel cancels your reservation without notice. I have stayed here for years and this year drive an hour and a half to find out they cancelled my reservation. I told them that I had an email confirmation of my reservation and no one called or emailed to tell me it was cancelled. Place was booked and I was only told to go to their other location which is not even near this one. No sorry, no let me give you money off your next stay — nothing. The man I spoke to is the one that is always there and has seen me before but could care less that me and my family had no room. I found a much better, cleaner, nicer place right down the road.

Entirely horrible. Gross. I’ve stayed here twice for lack of any other choice. The rooms smell, the sheets aren’t particularly clean, the towels are itty-​bitty and scratchy as hell, and don’t get me started on «ambiance». Behind the middle building is a number of dilapidated truck trailers and the pool is way across the parking lot — right next to a major highway. I had not the stomach nor the courage to test the «continental» breakfast at this place as I’m fairly certain there’s much more fun ways to give yourself food poisoning or dine with vermin/​insects.
Insult to injury is that it’s expensive ($ 250/​night over Labor Day weekend) even if it’s «cheap» compared to places closer to the beach.

I only wish I could give this place 0 stars
Do you like caffeinated coffee? I sure do. Not finding it here though. The in room coffeemaker only provides Decaf for your morning wakeup.
How’s about shampoo? Cleans your hair well, makes you feel alive in the morning. Not so much here. All they had was lotion in the bathroom… no shampoo. I was told to use the lotion… but thankfully not to put the lotion in the basket.
Like to have ice in the room? That’s about all you’ll get. Besides getting jammed on the price for an awful experience.
Stay far, far away

Not entirely horrible, free wi-​fi, mini fridge and microwave… The room smells kinda funny but it’s about what I expected an Econo Lodge be… Nothing fancy at all…

This was in our price range for a June Friday night. The problem with Econo Lodge is that some are very nice and others shouldn’t be allowed any brand name to them. This is closer to the latter than the former. The bathroom might be the smallest one I’ve ever seen. If you sit on the toilet your knees are over the tub. The mattresses and box springs could be replaced to be more comfortable. And the thermostat is the kind where it doesn’t have a temperature setting, you turn it on and when it gets too cold you turn it off.

We waited too long to reserve and this is all we could get in our price range. The room was about $ 135 and not terrible, although we know people who reserved a room at the beautiful Residence Inn less than a mile away and paid the exact same price we did. Lesson learned. Next time we will reserve a place much sooner.
