Ascot Motel

i see what the bad reviews were about and i think mine tops the list… we went to the front to check in and were told to park around back and walk in the side entrance… the side entrance was a dirty disgusting narrow alley way that we could barely walk thru… we walked up the first flight to our room and were greeted by open doors full of young guys and girls smoking marijuana… yup right there in the open, doors wide open, walking around the floor with it openly displayed… that should have been my first sign to run far in the other direction… wait…it gets worse!!! not only did our room and floor reek of weed and yes it’s open. that’s how bad it is… but we get into our room and we specifically asked for queen size beds, there were 4 of us, 2 girls in each bed… the beds were barely FULL!!! we decided to make the best of it… went out to dinner had drinks and hung out at tropicana for a bit and then decided to hit the sack after being out for a few hours… we come back. greeted by the same losers still in their rooms still smoking pot and we literally almost run into our room after being semi harassed by these freaks… we go in and start settling in when we hear the bathroom door slam and my friend is running out half naked… it gets better… there’s a RAT in our bathroom… a FREAKIN RAT now trapped and scurrying around the bathroom… on the second floor… are you kidding me??? that was the last straw… we got our stuff together called the front desk and told them the situation… they refused to give us our money back at first so i hung up told them we would be leaving and reporting them to the credit card company to get our money back… minutes later we hear a knock on the door, it’s the manager, he’s offering us half our money back… we took it and high tailed it out of there… i still intend on calling the card company for the other half, it’s bull to pay for something we did not even stay at… needless to say we will NEVER be back. if you’re even considering a stay here, run far in the other direction… you’ll be better off sleeping on the boardwalk with the stray cats… don’t do what we did… we tried to save a little money and wound up with a ruined weekend and driving home in the middle of the night… spend a little more… you get what you pay for definitely applies here… if you’re a pot smoking loser then you’ll fit right in.

Don’t see what all the complaining is about.
80/​holiday wknd came with 1 queen bed, tv w cable + HBO & working remote„ fridge, microwave, funky blankets & brightly colored walls, no noise, clean EVERYTHING (save ¼ towels), no bed bugs or pests, a full mirror across from the bed in case of good times.
Oh, and only blocks from the casinos.
How can one ask for more?
*cash only

This Motel deserves a 1 star rating in my honest opinon and my personal experience but I gave it 2 only because it had a nice pool which most motels in AC don’t have.
I stayed at this motel for 3 nights with my husband for our yearly trip down to AC for my birthday. We have stayed at other motels off the boardwalk and never had any bad experiences. I am not a snob and was not expecting the motel to be like the Hilton or Tropicana for the price that we paid but it wasn’t the best experience that we had. Here’s the run-​down: 1. We found two moths, a mosquito some dead ants (?) and a spider in our room (bathroom and window ledge) which means that the rooms are not cleaned as they should. 2. We had to ask the cleaning staff for clean towels, additional bars of soap and shampoo when our room wasn’t cleaned by 4 pm on our second day there. 3. The remote to the TV didn’t work except to change the channel. 4. The continental breakfast only included juice, coffee and some rolls? :\ With this said, we will not be returning to the Ascot.
The few perks — The staff were pleasant and were quick to try to make us comfortable after we complained. Also, the rooms came with a refrigerator which is a nice amenity if you’re staying for longer than we did. The air conditioner works almost too well. It was too cold in our room after it was cleaned but you are able to adjust it which was nice. Lastly, the pool which stayed open until 10 pm every night.

If you’re looking for a 5 Star Casino type hotel… this place is NOT for you. However, if you’re an individual or family on a budget, this place is just fine. My wife and I stayed here last week for a few days. This is one of the only motels in Atlantic City that actually have a swimming pool, in which many people took advantage of. The owner is Indian, and it was sometimes very hard to communicate with him. Upon arrival, our room was clean and decent. However, we did have to kill a dead moth on the shower head (big deal, they get in when the maids clean the rooms). The bedding was nice and clean. The television had all the cable channels plus HBO, however the remote didn’t work (had to change channels manually) The air conditioner can be set to the temperature you prefer and it worked great. The door was very secure, and also had a security chain as well as the regular lock. It was surprisingly very quiet at night (walls were pretty thick). They charged us about $ 75 per night on the 2 weekday nights we stayed there, however the rate jumped to $ 140 for Friday night… still much cheaper than staying in a casino. They also had a semi-​complimentary breakfast, with just rolls, bagels, and juice. But, we preferred eating at the Country Kitchen on the boardwalk and Dunkin Donuts 3 blocks away. Normal check in time is at 3pm, but they let us check in as early as 2pm without giving us a problem. My only major complaint was that they DID NOT clean our room the first TWO nights we stayed there. On the third day, we demanded that our room get cleaned and also spoke to the maid in person to remind them. So, that was inconvenient since we were constantly dragging in sand from the beach. We got the feeling that they ONLY clean the rooms when someone checks out OR by request if you’re staying more than one night. Oh… yes there are hookers outside sometimes, but this is the case all over Atlantic City and even at the classy Casino Hotels, so you’ll see them no matter where you choose to stay.

i think this place had bed bugs… spent one night… wouldn’t do it again. Spend the extra bucks, go to a nicer hotel…

Rolled into AC for the weekend with some friends. Needed a place to stay for the night. Wanted something cheap since we only needed a place to sleep. Drove up Pacific Ave and checked out Howard Johnson and the Super 8 Motel on Tennessee Ave. Both places were cheap but seeing the number of dark and dirty folks walking around (plus an old, busted prostitute), we decided to head a little south towards the center of the strip.
Drove to the Ascot since it was also cheap. Not swanky in the least but not as shady as the places further north. It’s caddy-​corner from the Tropicana and less than a 30-​second walk to the boardwalk. It comes out where that statue of the man chasing the woman is.
Two queen beds with sheets that didn’t look too clean, a bathroom with no fan, a heater with a broken knob (had to unplug it to keep from cooking ourselves in the room), and a chain-​lock on the door with no latch. The TV though was decent as it had premium movie channels. We were right next to the pool but it was covered up as it was still early April. There were security cameras on the parking lot that the front-​desk guy could keep an eye on. Don’t know if they actually recorded anything but you could see it live on his screen.
All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this place but it still wasn’t bad. I may stay here again for its cheapness but I’d prefer to find a nicer place up north near the Wild Wild West Casino at Bally’s. Love that casino!
