Yeah, definitely a crappy place, I won't disagree. But, it is a good location in that it is close to the boardwalk and the man at the front desk was attentive (he provided me with 3 sheets of plain white paper and a pen as I needed some stationary, now that is service at its finest!) Would I stay here again? No chance in hell. But, I didn't give it the lowest rating mainly cause I was expecting much worse ...no prostitutes (yippee!), did not feel unsafe or threatened when going or returning to the hotel or to the boardwalk (another yippee!). So, there you go...if you have absolutely no alternative stay here, otherwise go to Resorts or Trop or something...

What a mess. This hotel is unclean, uncomfortable, and has terrible, bumbling customer service. Also, it's apparently the hotel of choice for prostitutes to take their customers, as witnessed firsthand. A waste of money, and I'll never stay at a Rodeway Inn again.

First, their check-in time is 3pm NOT 2pm as listed on virtually every website about them (as we found out when we arrived at 2:15 and our room wasn't ready- we were told to come back later). I can't speak for the beds in all the rooms, but the king-size bed in room 202 was just AWFUL- low to the ground, felt like a board, and springs poking us in the back. The comforter might as well have been two sheets sewn together. We were unable to sleep for most of the night b/c we were in so much pain. Also, in the winter months, the heat has two settings: off and sweltering.

The icing on the cake was being awoken at 5am by three males and two prostitutes carrying on next door in room 201. They were shouting so loud we could hear every word of their conversation, including the haggling over prices and the discussion of a drug deal. We practically RAN out of our room to check out.

The management is inept, at best. When I spoke to the manager on duty, he barely seemed to comprehend our anger and demands for a refund. Rather than calling the police, he rang the room and ordered them to leave- before we were even out of the office! On the way out, I noticed a bottle of Rat Attack (no lie) in the window.

B/c I had placed the reservation online, only the General Mgr could issue us a refund. It has been almost a week, and I have yet to reach him no matter when I call. It took me five days just to get his name from the people who work at the front desk.

In sum: pay the extra money to stay at Resorts just across the street. Yes, this low price IS too good to be true when you look at the awful conditions and service. I will NEVER stay at a Rodeway Inn again.

Ever since our stay, my friend has crowned the Rodeway "the Skittle Inn" because he swears that something "skittled" across his face in the middle of the night. Its disgusting. A week after staying there, the Rodeway was featured in an episode of "Cops: Atlantic City" as a hot bed of illiicit activity. You are better off sleeping in your car during warmer months!!

This hotel was shabby and not sound proofed. But the worst thing was that the toilet became clogged when we first arrived. When I called the front desk, the clerk brought down a plunger and said to use it!
The location was very convient.
