I stayed at the Rodeway Inn because it was cheap and listed as "one block from the Boardwalk". IAlthough it is about two blocks from the Boardwalk, it is all the way at the end (near the Hilton). If you are looking to gamble at Resorts, Ballys, Showboat, Taj, etc. , it is a REALLY long walk. Also, there is another Rodeway Inn, located right across from Resorts (I think it is N. Carolina Avenue), which is much more convenient. Sure, it was only $124 a night, but a bit grungy and didn't even have shampoo. If you are looking for a cheap place near the Boardwalk, you can definitely do better.

This had to have been one of the worst rooms I have ever stayed in. Room decor was barebones. There was a chemical smell permeating it. The curtain on front window was torn and stained. There was no smoke detector - only bare wires where it should have been. Faceplate on cable wire hanging in midair and closet with wires on floor. Door was not very secure and had splitting water damage on the bottom. I had to pay over $200 for this dump because of the season and last minute but I wouldn't pay $20 to stay there again. Old tires and other trash on the bottom floor walkway. Neighborhood kind of scary, too. I took pictures because I was going to write to the Rodeway company about how bad it was.

We stayed here for three nights. It is straight across from the Resorts which is quite convienent. Maybe a football field and a half away from the boardwalk. Room was kinda small but clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were extremely cheap compared to the hotels in casinos. Microwave and refrigeraters in all the rooms which we liked. Would definetly stay again.
