Quality Inn and Suites Hotel - Page 1

I stayed here while I was visiting Atlantic City and found it a very reasonable

alternative to the more expensive hotels in the casino's.

The hotel was very convenient, cheaper than the hotels in Atlantic City but still a quick cab ride to the casinos. It was clean, good value and safe.

My mother had a heart attack while we were visiting Atlantic City and ended up in a hospital near Absecon. Relatives of mine came to help and found a room in this hotel, which I paid for.

Imagine their shock and mine when, after checking out, they received a phone call from the hotel stating that they had stolen $300 worth of linens and bedding. Interestingly, my brother, who was staying in the room, had looked all over with no luck for blankets and sheets for the sleep sofa in the room. He was exhausted so he just slept on a blanket pulled off the bed and didn't bother to ask for any bedding. So, the fine irony of the hotel accusing him of taking what was never there for his use is pretty rich.

Add to that the fact that the hotel clerk repeatedly called, as we were trying to get to the hospital to see my sick mother, and threatened us with charges. So after visiting hours, we took both cars to the hotel and told the guy to "search us"! He refused; we insisted. He refused to call the manager. This is a major fiasco I will spend days trying to clear up and I have refused the charge, but I worry that they are scamming many people this way. Whatever you do, do not stay at this hotel. We stayed at the nearby Hampton Inn for the rest of our visit, and it couldn't have been nicer.

We just returned from a four night stay at the Absecon Econo Lodge. Upon check-in, we were given a corner room and were told it was brand new and we were only the second customers to ever stay in it. We were thrilled until we walked into the room. There were no garbage cans, no table and chairs and no mirror in the bathroom. They put us in an unfinished room.

We decided to make the best of it, as it was clean and we were tired from traveling. As we were unpacking, we kept stepping on something sharp in the carpet but were unable to find what it was. My husband and I cut our feet on it several times. On our third night my husband was able to find what it was. It was a buried tack sticking out, apparently from when the new rug was laid. So I called the front desk and asked the manager to come over and told him about the problem. He told us to take care of it! I firmly told him that my children could cut themselves on this tack and that he needed to get over here and take care of it. He reluctantly agreed. I did not appreciate his attitude and my husband let him know he did not appreciate it either.

An hour later we went out for a few minutes and when we returned to our room we found that our room keys had been deactivated! The manager apparently did not like being scolded and decided to play games by locking us out of our room! Luckily, the front desk employee was nice enough to be embarrassed for the manager's behavior and reactivated the key. I will never return to this hotel and would not recommend it. I am normally very easy to please, but I cannot condone the behavior and attitude of management here.

The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and it was easy to find.
