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.

good option for a one night stay

booked this hotel as a cheaper alternative to staying at the more expensive casino hotels since i was only staying one night. if you're not going to spend much time in your room besides to get a few hours sleep, then this is a good value. staff was accomodating, featured free parking, and was across the street from tropicana hotel.

Room Smelled like urine

Went down with some friends for a 21st birthday party in Atlantic city. Checked in on Thursday and none of the front desk employees spoke English. After checking in we were charged $35 to park for the entire stay! We arrived in our room to find the small suitcase closet smelled like urine. We quickly left the room and when we returned the entire room smelled like urine! After bringing this to the attention of the front desk employees they stated that they were calling their maintenance man (who also did not speak English) who never arrived. Finally after going back down a second time a man arrived and claimed that the smell was a chemical smell from the cleaning lady (who never once visited our room). After complaining at the front desk the man at the front desk told us that the smell could have been from "you people". Immediately after that I demanded a refund (which was denied) and checked out and left a day early. I will never be returning to this hotel or any Econo Lodge Hotel again!

Right next to the Tropicana and fairly close to everything else you want to be at. You can park at the Hotel for free, additional cars are $10 for a pass. Definitely would stay at it again.

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!

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!

Good value for the money

It wasn't the best hotel to stay at but it was good value for the money. It was next to the Tropicana hotel and we went to an MMA fight there. So I wasn't in the hotel that much. The bathroom was clean.

My review of Econo Lodge Beach Block

This hotel is really just to sleep in. You are around so many other things to do outside of the hotl, it's really worth it.
