Days Inn Atlantic City Oceanfront-Boardwalk

Zero stars. My son and young friend stayed here on June 11, 2016. Room cost $ 283.15 for ONE NIGHT…(steep, for a «2» star hotel on the boardwalk) They were in town for an Animé convention. The boys did a quick check in and then went directly to the convention center. Being «inexperienced young» travelers they did not THINK to complain about the room. They were tired and just wanted a dry comfy place to sleep after a long day at the Animé event. What they got, was a musty urine smelling room where the sheets seemed «wet». After checking out (fully paid) the boys let me know I reserved a «dive» and they were safe. I called to speak with the management. John «„Trump“» the manager of the day was very rude and unapologetic.. For the price and ocean front location, I have to say we were dissapointed about the poor condition of this Days Inn. What was less than satisfactory was the rude response of «John Trump» the manager. So, if you are looking for a clean safe place to stay in Atlantic City, perhaps you should try a «Mom and Pop» place… You may just get a better room and at a reasonable price.

I have to say this place was awesome — very affordable, right next to the Tropicana — so it is in a great spot. The room we were in had a balcony with a view of the ocean. The restaurant inside is great — so make sure you visit when you are looking for a meal. I read some reviews that were bad — this is not a 5 star hotel, but it is clean and in a great location on the boardwalk. We would definitely stay here again. PS: They valet your car which for us was a good choice because we walked everywhere.

The front desk JOHN to be exact is extremely rude .I booked for my sister as a gift I called he was sarcastic from the very start. Then when my sister checks in on the next day same result. She calls me to tell me about him and he is in the back ground doing what he do best being RUDE ! Horrible customer service I give it a minus 5 star if I could I would never book here again period ! If front desk acts this way I can imagine their rooms My poor sister guess she will tell me later about the stay but so far Horrible service ! And I will email Corporate about this John guy he has to go if he doesnt know how to speak to customers or deal with people period!

Didn’t have the best night sleep, nor did my wife. We were able to hear the ruckus coming from the room adjacent to us. The room could definitely use some upgrading. The guy at the front desk was nice but it was weird because the were wearing normal street clothes and not days inn garb (slightly unprofessional???) I guess, but nice. also I didn’t like the fact that we had to valet the car. It was inconvenient to come and go. Hey for 75 buck, as opposed to 250 a night, you get what you pay for. Wouldn’t stay more than one night here. Forgot to mention, it’s right on the boardwalk and a stones throw from Carmine’s restaurant. IMAX theater right across at the Tropicana too.

I wish I could give this negative stars. This hotel is trash. We checked in. The guy was fine. Very rushy. The hotel isn’t all of that but $ 50 bucks isn’t bad. It’s right across from Tropicana. Very outdated. Free valet & wifi is a nice touch. We got to off the elevator and the halls smelled musty/​rancid and like someone was smoking weed. The room door was was an uninviting green with dings and scratches all over. The room itself. Smh. Should’ve been a sign to turn around and leave. Extremely outdated the bathroom was tiny and dirty/​grimy. The room was tiny itself. The bedding was hideous and uncomfortable. Fast forward to 3am when I turn my pillow over. BEDBUG. Naturally I jump up and tell my BF. We decided to check out early. Upon checking out we mention to the guy that there was a bedbug and he says «ya should’ve called me when you saw it». As if we’re gonna be calm around a bed bug. Wtf. So we call this morning to speak to the manager. He says «we shook the room down. We saw nothing. Maybe it was another big». I told him it came from the pillows and he says «oh». We checked out at 3:15a he says they checked the room this morning. Right.
Never again.

The room we got was very small and dated and the bedspread was not in good condition. The worst thing about our stay was that there was NO HEAT! It was very cold in our room at night. And when we called to the front desk to ask about the heat we were told that it wasn’t turned on yet because it wasn’t cold enough (it was 54 degrees). Also, valet parking is included but when we got my car it was filthy, covered in some sort of sticky substance all over. We asked the attendant what happened and he just shrugged his shoulders. The restaurant in the hotel had horrible service also. Overall, it was not a good experience and we will not return to this hotel.

This people are almost liar… we said for 2 couple… they booked for 2 people… when we reached there they charged us extra without prior intimation… we booked a room for 4 people… on the phone they said no extra charge but when we reached they charged us… useless people… never book from here…

Now this place isn’t as fancy as the casinos but we will definitely be returning! These people bent over backwards to accomodate us like it was nothing! We checked out of the Trop because we did not want to pay $ 300 for another night in our crappy room that had no towel bar, no dresser & no microwave. We drove directly across the street & booked a room for $ 200 @ the Days inn. This was 11:30 am & check-​in was not until 3pm. They parked our car & said «no problem» and off we went to our room hours before check-​in at NO extra charge. It was cleaner than the Trop. We had a balconey, fridge, microwave, lots of drawers for our stuff. This place is great. They treat you like they want you to come back. Unlike the Trop where they give you a crappy room, take your money & say «c-​ya»! You won’t regret staying there. I promise !

We have no complaints for the price and location it’s great. We had a room on the street side and still had a balcony view of the ocean. It appeared clean. Staff was VERY friendly. Free parking! Wish breakfast would have been included, but Trop Market Place is right next door. Will stay here again.

Decided to stay another night in Atlantic city so it was late and last minute checked in around 10 1030 didn’t stay in the room long, decided to go clubbing. Returned to the room around 5am. As I woke up and was checking my phone around 1030 am I saw something out the corner of my eye, thinking it was a fly I waved my hand in its direction and it didn’t fly away but kept crawling on the sheet I realized it was a «ROACH» and yes I said ROACH. I quickly packed up and left as I got to the front desk to let the manager aware of the situation, he told me he didn’t know how that was possible when they have someone clean every WEDNESDAY!!! Well that’s great because I stayed on a TUESDAY. I knew I wasn’t getting anywhere with him I told him to check me out. In his efforts I guess to ease the situation he grabbed my car keys and pointed me to where my car was??? That’s odd because they have free valet service so now I have to get my own car??? GOOD JOB FOR FUCKING DAYS INN

Inexpensive hotel
Right next to the Trop
Got a room that faced a WALL
You get what u pay for. I have never been in a hotel that watches everyone who comes in to insure u dont have a «Guest”\\
Nice place in hotel for breakfast-​Of course not included

Stayed twice in winter for a cheer comp since its across from convention center. Beds are hard and pillows suck. Overall ok had kitchen which was a plus. Libby is old and No one ever at desk. Check in and out very slow. Ask for ½ he extra on check out since my daughter was sick they said they will charge me for ½ day really!!! Went down to check out and it took them ½ hr anyway maybe I should charge them

Unfriendly staff, completely over priced and not even worth the effort. Location is decent. Rooms were not cleaned up to par and I felt completely grimy when I left. I washed my clothes and suitcase immediately after I got home. Will not stay here again. Ever. I mean ever

I stayed one night. The room was clean. Shower was clogged. While taking a shower, the water filled up over my ankles!!! Don’t stay on the street side, trucks honking early!!! You can’t order room service and there is a restaurant off the lobby. They do have take out menus. The price for a Friday was good. Not the best but I’ve stayed at worst. Wouldn’t stay past one night.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. I mean, obviously it’s not a fancy hotel compared to the other hotels on the boardwalk, but for the price, it’s pretty decent. I stayed on the 5^th floor balcony and the room was clean, no noisy neighbors then gentleman at the front desk were nice and helpful. All around good experience, and it’s as if you’re staying at the trop but cheaper. Had a very god experience with days inn this weekend!

I am not going to say this is a place where you can expect top notch amenities. It is no Revel or Ballys BUT as soon as I walked into this place I was greeted warmly and my bfs car.was.valet parked immediately, I walked in about 45 mins early and was accomodated immediately, and upon leaving it was no muss no fuss I handed in my key cards, valet brought the car out, and we were. asked if we wanted to take the car now because we could have hung out on beach or casinos till 1pm I believe my bf said which is awesome. Too bad I had to go because I would have taken that time to have more fun in Tropicana as I did the night before. If what you need is a clean place to stay and accessibility to the beach and boardwalk then this is a great place to stay.

Worst hotel ever I was treated like shit by the owner I got my money back and went to Tropicana which is better and nicer never will I ever step foot in that dirty hotel again don’t waste your time or money

I consider myself pretty low maintenance when it comes to hotels. Sure, I appreciate the frills as much as the next person, but especially when I’m staying somewhere for only one night, just give me a clean bed and towel and I’m fine.
This Days Inn didn’t really provide either. The hallways smelled like smoke and the room had a dingy, musty smell and feel to it. Everything was oddly damp, which was really unsettling when it came time to climb into bed.
The hotel was a black hole in terms of cell phone service, particularly for AT&T, which became highly inconvenient when trying to communicate with people outside the building.
The only good thing about this hotel is that it’s really close to the beach and the Tropicana (a designated Jitney stop). Otherwise, «eek — methinks not» would perfectly sum up my feelings about this place.

I have come to expect affordable, quality service at Days Inns, but this particular location was utterly horrendous.
As soon as I checked in, the rude staff already began to put a damper on my vacation. I was told my room would be ready in 30 – 40 minutes, after housekeeping tidies up the room. Naturally, I rearranged my vacation itinerary to return after an hour, and yet the room was still not ready.
After more waiting, the manager began to hit me with surprise fees, before I even got into my room. Because I had booked on
, I was not aware of any per-​person fees. I specifically selected this location because of its ability to accommodate up to 5 persons. There was no disclaimer explaining possible incremental charges at the time of purchase. Rather than calmly explaining the policy, the manager practically yelled it to me and just added it to my bill via my credit card on file. Had I known about these extra fees, I would have definitely opted for a better room at a nicer hotel.
The fees did not stop there. I had requested a roll-​away bed for my room, which cost me an incremental $ 20. However, it was delivered with only a sheet, absolutely no pillows or proper bedding. In fact, the porter left the utility cord still attached so I had to set-​up the bed myself. After several requests to the front desk, the same manager finally came up to my room to «investigate the situation,» essentially barging in and arguing about how he does not provide «extra blankets». It must have taken me at least 15 minutes of arguing to finally wrangle a sad looking piece of fleece and pillow.
Fees aside, the hotel condition was poor. The «free wifi» was incredibly spotty, and the entire room reeked of a damp odor. Hotel security was also lacking – my friends and I were harassed at night, right in front of our room by two scary, drunk men. I cannot believe I paid the premium that I did to stay here for the oceanfront location. NEVER AGAIN. In fact, I will be avoiding all Days Inns.
The only redeeming quality was one of the porters, Juan, who not only was responsive but also very prompt with the valet parking service.
Also, I am disappointed the Days Inn website does not allow any feedback longer than 450 characters. I will have to submit this review to them piecemeal.

Of the two Days Inns in Atlantic City, this one’s conveniently close to Tropicana.
Our double room was a good size. It was tacky — even for a Days Inn: seashells in the bathroom were an amusing touch, and the vintage Zenith CRT was gold. Not totally unusual for AC.
Service was fine. When our toilet got stuck, room service got us a plunger straightaway.
Parking is valet only. (Not a fan.)
Book in advance to secure a good room rate!
