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.
