Howard Johnson Atlantic City / Egg Harbor Township

The room smelled strongly of incense, and I had to buy a can of Glade to get rid of it. The furniture was old and rusty, the carpet was dirty, and the washer was moldy and needs replacing. The photo shows how dirty the carpet was. I read the other comments and agree the hotel is bad. My experiences and the facts I've collected have led me to believe that Indians have very different standards for how lodging should look. I'm sorry to say it, but that's what I've found. Travelers, don't get too excited by the pictures, they're a complete lie. Prices under $87 are tempting, but you get what you pay for. The hotel advertises rooms for $100 or more, and it wasn't worth that price. My advice: if you're unsure, call the front desk. If you hear an Indian accent, hang up and pick another hotel.

The bed was quite comfortable, and so was the chair. It's an easy enough place to stay if you expect things to be a little messy and the design not fully up to date. It wasn't especially gross, but the facilities aren't great. One of the building doors wouldn't open with our card, and the coffee maker was a bit dirty, though in my experience hotel coffee makers often are. The continental breakfast is the main letdown. A free hot breakfast in the morning is nice, but the choices were basically bread, muffins, cereal and coffee, which was disappointing, though not by much. The location is decent, not far from the AC shore but not right nearby either, which helps keep the price down. It's a somewhat cheaper hotel, and definitely not the best.

The whole place was run down, with unpleasant smells in both the hallway and our room. Every room door seemed damaged in some way. The shower and sink were rusty, and the sheets had stains, tears and hair on them. We also found bugs in the room, and the keys didn't work. I wouldn't stay here again or recommend it.

There was a roach in the bed, no fridge, and the room smelled like someone had been smoking. The bath hadn't been cleaned properly, and I found a strand of hair in the sink. The towels were rough, and there was only one bar of soap for the bathroom. Customer service was very poor too. I asked the clerk for the Wi-Fi information, but they kept giving me the wrong details and eventually told me to come to the front desk. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
