“Great Deal”

Econo Lodge Boardwalk

May 13, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

Like they claim, right next to the Tropicanna and one short block from the boardwalk. Stayed 4 nights and found the place clean, well maintained, friendly staff and acceptable breakfast.

Yes, there is construction on the next property but didn't find that a problem and the price was great for what we got.

Did find that noise seemed to travel through the rooms and from the parking lot but that was a minor issue. Was disappointed that the internet signal was not strong enough to reach our room but highjacked a couple of others with no problem.

In general, would go back again for the price and convenience.

“Worst hotel experience”

Econo Lodge Boardwalk

2 of 5 stars
Pennsylvania
Aug 9, 2007
9/13 found this review helpful

I believe this hotel (really a motel) was the worst experience I have ever had in my life. The only good thing about this hotel is the location, but even then, the part of the boardwalk where it is located is far from the main hot spots of the boardwalk.

Hotel staff was nice. Room was dirty and messy. Hair was found on the pillows and sheets. The pillows had tags on that were from other casino hotels (a resorts pillow, tropicana pillow). The carpeting was soggy from the condensation of the air conditioning. The room was recently painted and had an upleasant odor. Water pressure was good from the shower.

Once I finally had the courage to put my body on the dirty sheets, it was impossible to fall asleep. The rooms open out onto the outside. People could wander from the street up to your room and knock on the door if they wanted! (Luckily they didn't) But they were noisy (rif-raf). Sirens were going off through the night. It is finally quiet when it's about 5am. Will not stay here again, would rather sleep in my own car in a casino garage! (joking) Would rather stay outside of AC and drive.

“Good last minute deal”

Econo Lodge Boardwalk

Jan 21, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

Booked the room for a Saturday night a few days before on Thursday. After checking out all the other casino hotels (which were all over $200), this was a pretty good deal for last minute ($133 total).

Walked into the room that was blasting heat, almost had a heart attack on arrival. Had to put on the AC despite the fact it was January. The beds sank after you sat on them, but I easily fell asleep.

The bathroom was decently clean and the shower was surprising strong.

Complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate all night- can't beat that.

As previous stated, a cheap place to crash, sums it up well.
