Red Roof Inn & Suites Atlantic City

The beds were really comfortable, the staff were nice, and both the prices and parking were great. The building needs updating and has an old smell throughout. The toilet barely flushed, and the sink seemed to take forever to drain. For the price, though, the stay was good overall.

Staff were nice and offered a courtesy checkout after the first room flooded, but this place was far from what the pictures showed. The flood happened just from flushing the toilet. The bathroom was only partly clean, the place smelled horrible, and the old beds made us itchy. There was mold and peeling paint everywhere, and the windows on the upper floors opened all the way without guards or safety locks. My two-year-old pulled out a drawer and it fell on her foot. Breakfast was pointless: old, hard donuts and milk, with nothing hot or healthy. I'm not sure how it's open, since it doesn't seem up to code. If you have no other choice, bring your own sheets and disinfecting wipes.

We couldn't bring ourselves to spend the night and drove home instead. The room was extremely musty, and both the halls and room smelled like building damage. That was unacceptable. Given the price, a room here shouldn't cost more than $10. This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had, and the property should be demolished and rebuilt.

The breakfast was appalling. There was only white bread, muffins, and cornflakes, with no juice, fruit, oatmeal, eggs, pancakes, or breakfast meat. People coming down after me complained too, and those who'd already been there were still disbelieving, having found either nothing or just toast to nibble before heading out to buy breakfast. The hotel was meant to save us that expense. The woman in charge stood there with her arms crossed, watching everyone without saying good morning or greeting anyone. On a Sunday morning, you'd think they might do something extra. They should have advertised no breakfast instead of putting out what I saw. I know I'm never coming back. The shower was rusty, and on the fourth floor the window opened wide with no screen, a real danger. How have they gotten away with this for so long? I thought hotels sealed off upper-floor windows.
