It should be knocked down. Motel from Hell. Didn't get OVERSIZED SUITE as reserved, charged me for it. No fireplace. Everything wired with extension cords or plug adapter. Overhead http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r416952 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460957 This hotel was very close to the beach and the Tropicana. Although it wasn't listed online, it had a microfridge and a continental breakfast. It was clean and in good condition. Also, the hotel actually accepted the coupon offer in August!!! It was great for the money, especially if you can't afford to pay a fortune. We had thought we might have to stay out in Absecon and drive in. We were across from a noisy bus depot and it was a long walk to the other casinos, but overall it was great. People at the front desk were efficient and friendly. Breakfast was fine, although a bit crowded. There was no pool, so I don't know if I would stay with kids, but for adults wanting to gamble and have fun on the Boardwalk, it was terrific. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460957 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460958 I thought the staff and service were good. As for the hotel, the room was uncomfortable the floors were sticky and there was no windows that could open. There were prostitutes and druggies right outside of the hotel and young men hastling drivers from the roadside. Not too mention beggars all over including the boardwalk. I wouldn't reccomend any one to stay here. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460958 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460959 I am currently caring for a friend who stayed at this hotel. She and her husband are now covered in bed bug bites that have become infected and have swollen up into large hideous welts. Up their arms, legs, belly and even a welt on the back of the neck. The staff was dismissive of their experience. No attempt was made to compensate them except for a free nights stay. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH, AND STAY AWAY FROM ALL ECONO LODGES. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460959 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460960 I VISTED THERE SEVERAL TIMES I WAS VERY SURPRISED HOW NICE THE LADY WAS, SHE WAS VERY NICE AND EVEN OFFERED US LOWER RATES WHICH BEAT ANY LOCAL HOTEL CHAIN. THE ROOM WAS MOSTLY FOR US TO FRESHEN UP AND HIT THE CASINOS AND SHOPPING AREA. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS QUESTIONABLE WAS A STAIN ON THE BLANKET, BUT NO ONE USES THOSE BLANKETS ANYWAYS LOL POSITIVE EXPERIENCE OVERALL.ALSO GAY FRIENDLY RO http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460960 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460961 Me and my boyfriend took the bus down to atlantic city. Check in wasnt till 4pm we got there around 1pm we called and asked if we could check in earlier. The girl told us we could. They even upgraded our room to the King Suite. The best thing was that it was right across from the Tropicana which was the bus would meet us. The only thing that i would suggest they do it try to update it alil more. but other wise my stay there was great. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460961 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r344545 I took a vacation to Atlantic City for the first time on August 19th. We stayed 3 nights at the Econo Lodge Beach Block. When we first arrived it was raining like cats and dogs. The woman behind the front desk was very nice. She gave us advice on where to have dinner..... When we arrived to our room it was very very clean and smelled like air fresher. The bathroom looked as if it had just been renovated. I even told my boyfriend that the linen smelled "too clean" :o). The room had a Microwave which was clean and a fridge which was also very clean. Let me be honest..... I didn't expect this hotel to be this nice but to my surprise it was. I will stay at this hotel again. It was located less than a minute from the board walk and the Tropicana hotel. If you don't want to drive, the Jitney stops right in front of the hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r344545 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r460962 I took a vacation to Atlantic City for the first time on August 19th.

The hotel looks really different on the web site. It was so dirty and run down, the bed was sunk in. It looks like it was from the 70's. I still cannot believe they charge over $200 per night. They should be ashamed of themselves. We could not even stay because I was afraid to close my eyes. We drove home that night. Please look for another place to stay. You will thank me. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Econo_Lodge_Beach_Block/r319645
