I requested a non smoking room and when I arrived they gave me a smoking room and floor. When I spoke with the front desk they told me everything was sold out. On top of that I had to deal with the smell of pot. Some of the people on my floor were smoking pot. And, the smell went into my room. The hotel overall did not meet my standards, I have stayed at other HJ's and the conditions have been better. The money I paid for it was not worth it. I have stayed at the Claridge, Flagship and others for the same amount and it has been worth my money. I will never stay at HJ's in AC anymore. Thank god for Jitney buses, the casino's are pretty far away.

the hotel was not what i thought it would be. people had t.v.on so loud we could hear them. could not sleep with all the noise. there was no heat in the rooms, needed extra blankets. i think the hotel needs an upgrade. for it to be on the same strip as bally's, the tropicana, etc. the hotel should have been in better shape. i don't understand at the time of check out, how come i couldn't get a cpoy of my bill. i think it is fair that i know how much i paid for the weekend.

The hotel is not a good value. The air conditioner (heater) was not working correctly. I should open my window every day because always was hot, even turned off. I reported that problem, but no body fixed it. Also one day no body clean my room. At my second day I tried to make telephone calls but my telephone line was blocked; I asked to the front desk and they asked me again my credit cards information, due that they have lost the information, at the third day it happened the same. The hotel has a good location and good internet conection, but is too expensive due the bad service and bad conditions of the hotel; it looks old, dirty, carpets and ceiling blemished. Sorry for my bad English.

First off, I have to say the service was great. The front desk was friendly and very helpful. The location was good as well. It is right in the mix of things, not too far from all the action. The hotel was clean and definately affordable. It is perfect for a cost efficient trip to Atlantic City. Though not one of the huge, "luxery" casino hotels it definately serves it's purpose as respite between celebrating the many attractions of AC.

I stayed at the Best Western Hotel in Atlantic City. The reason we chose this hotel was because we decided very last minute take a weekend trip. We have stayed at the Tropicana numerous times and have really loved that Hotel. Since we waited to long to book our trip, the prices for the weekend were rather high. Therefore we decided to look for a hotel close enough to walk back to the Trop. The Best Western provided exactly that. The rooms were decent, the price was just right, the staff was friendly and knowledgable and willing to suggest many activities for us to participate in outside of the hotels. All in all I think this hotel worked out fantastically! You get what you pay for, Ok rooms, little atmosphere, no casino, but a close walk, and a good price!

I would first like to say that I enjoyed my stay at Howard Johnson. The location of the hotel was convinient to the casinos and boardwalk.. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. I enjoyed that it also had a balcony..not a good view, but it was good enough just to catch some air.. ZCustomer service was great and very helpful. I woould recommend this hotel to other and I myself would definitely stay at Howard Johnson for my next visit. Thanks to you Atlantic city.com and to the employee at Howard Johnson for making my short stay enjoyable, relaxing and convinient.

Hotel is a little old and could use some rennovations, but overall the hotel was ok. The check-in process was easy and stress free. I just wish that we didn't have to park in the hotel next door, because coming in from the parking lot, we walked to the lobby and took the elevator to our floor, without realizing that we were in the wrong hotel. So there should be better parking arrangements as far as I'm concerned, but that's about it. The room was what we requested and it was clean. I loved the fact that it was very inexpensive for being so close to the Boardwalk and to my favourite hotel on the strip: The Tropicana!

The room was great...but the walls were paper thin...we heard everything outside, inside, in the halls, the maids talking, the doors closing etc. As we were leaving, others were saying the same thing. No matter how nice the room is, if you can't sleep, it's not a place to stay. Again, the room was nice, the sheets were high quality, the service good, the location ok. The parking was a problem because you had to walk so far from the garage to the motel. The price was really reasonable, but you have to sleep sometime, so we won't be staying in the Howard Johnson's again.

This hotel was ok for someone on the go. I would not stay there again. It may have been clean but you could not tell because of the quality of the room. The carpet looked filthy. The bathroom could have been a little better quality as well. Also, cold showers were taken everyday. There is absolutely no water control whatsoever. It was great that it was just a block down from the Tropicana, but there was no view. We were staring at other peoples rooms. For it to be right at the boardwalk you had no view, we didn't even have a view of the beach.

On February 3, 2007 I spent the night at this hotel. All through the night there were a lot of running,laughing, slamming of doors going on. I really did not get any sleep. There need to be improvements in that area. This is my second time staying at this hotel. The first time was much better. I noticed that there were some younger people this time, so maybe that could be one of the reason. Management need to inform all guests that they have to keep the noise down. Not because they might not be sleepy but other guests need their sleep.

This hotel is seriously outdated! I was born in the 70s and I recognized the color of the bathroom from one of my baby pictures. The bed was very comfy. The walk to the parking garage was annoying. The hotel should provide a walkway into the hotel like the neighboring hotel offers. There was always a wait for parking. If you have an S.U.V. spaces are really limited. The location of the hotel is great. Right on the boardwalk. The price was extremely affordable especially for Atlantic City. The hotel needs to be remodeled and updated. The elevators are also shaky, making you feel extremely uneasy. It was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. The location is great.

The hotel was perfect for my needs. Everyone was very polite and nice. I would definatly stay here again in the future. It is right near the boardwalk, across the street from the Tropicana Casino. If you are going to Atlanic City with some friends and want a cheap, nice place to stay after some partying the Howard Johnson is the perfect place. They also have a parking garage with free parking, as well as free valet parking. The room was clean and comfortable, I did not have any complaints or problems with this hotel. I will also recommend it my friends if they are traveling to Atlantic City.
