Tropicana neighbor with free breakfast and Wi-Fi

Breakfast here at Econo Lodge Beach and Boardwalk is free, as is the wireless Internet in all guest rooms. There are few hotels situated just a block from the allure of the Atlantic City casinos and Boardwalk that are in this same price range. So travelers who plan to spend a bulk of their time out and about town might find the Econo Lodge Beach and Boardwalk and its central, rather bustling, location, an affordable place to land.

Highlights
  • Free deluxe continental breakfast and in-room Wi-Fi
  • Free outdoor parking
  • Next to the Tropicana casino and three floors of shopping, dining and entertainment at old Havana-themed The Quarter
  • One block from the Atlantic City beach and Boardwalk
Rooms

Other than the patterned, quilted bedspreads, fairly plain decor finishes each room. All guest rooms include cable television, free wireless Internet service, coffee makers and irons with ironing boards. King suites (once elaborate, now unexpectedly kitschy) have a fireplace, living room and/or whirlpool bathtub. Local calls are free. Some rooms also provide a refrigerators and microwaves for convenience on the go.

Features

For the price, the location of this Atlantic City hotel can't be beat. The Trump Plaza Casino, the Atlantic City Convention Center, Ceasars casino and the Pier Shops at Caesars -- 80 shops plus entertainment and dining all on a 900-foot pier over the ocean -- lie less than a mile away. The Econo Lodge Beach and Boardwalk makes it easy to access the Boardwalk, check out the summer beach bars down on the sand, or set out to explore in any direction.

Great Bang for your Buck

So my boyfriend and I needed a short fun get-away without it being a burden to our pockets . We liked how close the Econo was to the casinos. The room was fairly decent considering the price. I was happy to not get bitten by bed bugs which I feared. They could change the shower curtains which seemed to be dingy. Other than that they were great, a good place to stay if your looking to save money.

[...]

First of all [...] charged about $120.00 for one night plus additional tax, but as such the Econo Lodge charges only $49.00 for one night on 11-20-10Second: The bathroom faucet was leaky and the water will not drain in the sink, the carpet was moldy and wet next to the bed. You can carry mold with you if you walk bare foot in the room. (Room 230)

Too expensive for a MOTEL!

For the $200 a night we paid, the hotel could have had at least a shower that gave hot and cold water mixed. Our room had either hot or cold. The ground floor smelled as if you were near a canal and noise was an issue. Upon checking in we were greeted by a guest complaining to the manager about a seemingly blood stain issue on her mattress. How true that was, I really do not want to know. Location wise it was great. However for $200/night you kinda expect a hell lot more. Pay the extra and move up the street!

A Winning BET

I had read some bad reviews about this place but was willing to try it out because the price was right. It was definately a gamble that paid off! The location was great! Just steps to the beach, The Tropicana Casino, and Dunkin Donuts! The staff was both friendly and efficient. They put out a nice breakfast, complete with hot, fresh-made waffles. The housekeeping staff did a nice job of cleaning the rooms. For the price - this was a GREAT place to stay at the beach!

Quick getway.

The room was samll, we were placed in a room located on the first floor. The room was across the street from the tropicana bus depot so it was very noisy at times.

Perfect for one night stay.

Easy to check in and an attendant watched over the parking lot. It had superior location right next to the tropicana and boardwalk. I would stay again!
