Rodeway Inn Absecon

This is definitely, by far, the worst hotel/motel experience I've ever dealt with. I went here with my girlfriend because it was late and we were desperate for a place to stay, since we visited a disgusting hotel right before. Everything inside our room smelled like mold. It was even visible on the ceiling. For some reason, there were dead bugs and dead flies everywhere around the room, like if they couldn't even survive being in this room. The bathtub and sink were both extremely disgusting and crusty. The shower head was completely covered in rust (see pictures) and would spray water that smelled like rust. There were also uncovered wires coming out of the wall next to the tv which could pose a serious hazard. The room had a refrigerator that was barely cold and reeked of mold and who knows what. Since my girlfriend has lung problems, she refused to sleep inside and had to sleep in the car for the whole night because the mold can seriously affect her. We might as well had not taken the room. This is filthy and unacceptable. Don't stay here.

Booked online at choicehotels.com for 2 days, 5 weeks in advance. I arrived to check in at 11:00 pm 8/13/2016, no one was there, the lights were out, and it had a sign saying closed for renovations. No one answered the phone number on the door. Nearby hotel prices at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night were criminal. I arrived back home at 6:30 am. I would recommend starting the renovation with a bulldozer or explosives.

Ok, this was a last minute decision to come to Atlantic City and the hotel was inexpensive and it was a Saturday night. The pictures looked like it was a decent place to stay. Well, the pictures don't quite match the property. This is an old strip motel, kind of like the mom and pop lodging you used to see traveling before interstates. It's a $40 room with a $100 web presence, but it worked. The hotel is below average, but it's not terrible. The owners of this property do the best they can with this property. It's an old strip motel, nothing more, nothing less. First some positives.....Microwave in room works, refrigerator in room works, nice flat screen tv works, wireless internet works, AC looks new and works, tile floors in room are clean and look fairly new. All in all the place was clean. Now the negatives..... Shower is seriously outdated and very small but decent water pressure and we did have hot water, bed very soft, bring your own pillow, no iron or ironing board in room, no coffee maker in room (but they do have coffee at the office and she made a fresh pot for us). Would we stay here again, probably not, but if we had to, it is not something you can't handle for 1 or 2 nights. The price is not bad for what you get, it is not that far from the action of AC, and the staff we met were very nice.
