Hotel Howard Johnson Inn Atlantic City (Atlantic City, USA)

Reviewers frequently said the rooms were straightforward but more than satisfactorily clean and comfortable for a short stay, although some critics felt the rooms were quite small. With its affordable room rates and perks like a swimming pool and free parking, many guests felt they achieved decent value for money by choosing this property.

Guests liked the way Atlantic City's famous casinos were also within easy reach of this hotel. From its central location just off Pacific Avenue and one block from the boardwalk and beach, travelers were also within walking distance of entertainment venues, nightlife, dining, shopping and attractions. Another bonus was the handy shuttle bus to casinos and attractions.

The customer service attracted plenty of praise from reviewers. Personnel were often described as polite, friendly and helpful. Guests usually experienced a hassle-free check-in too.

Standards of cleanliness and maintenance were more than satisfactory for most visitors, although some critics felt they left something to be desired. Unsatisfactorily cleaned bathrooms, stained bedding and patchy housekeeping were the main cleanliness gripes described by reviewers. Critics sometimes said the hotel would be enhanced by further modernization to address issues like dated decor, tired-looking furniture and old TVs in some rooms.

According to some light sleepers, certain rooms facing the street were exposed to occasional traffic noise. There were also some reports of noise from adjacent rooms and corridors causing disturbances. Lingering smoky smells were also reported in some rooms.

The complimentary Wi-Fi access was welcomed by reviewers, although some claimed that the network coverage and speeds were unimpressive at times.
