Holiday Inn Express & Suites Absecon-Atlantic City Area

These guys are crooks! Doubled my room rate from first night to second, and I’m a platinum member of their rewards program. Guess I’m going home after the first night!

I was staying in this hotel for my daughter’s Cheer Competition. My thoughts were it was a close enough hotel to Atlantic City but far enough away so we could be well rested and away from the chaos of the hotels within the city. We were partially wrong. The first night — Fri night — the hotel was great very quiet and staff was friendly. Day 2 my daughter is exhausted from competing and then attending a grueling practice. We get back to the hotel around 8:30 and find our hallway reeks of pot and loud music coming from the room next to my daughters room. We called management — they came up and asked them to turn their music down. The occupants did nothing. We called again a half hour later — same response. We called the front desk a third time — and no answer from the front desk. We went down to the front desk and the woman said they have had several complaints besides our room about the noise and she would attempt again to have the music turned down. The occupants once again did nothing. The music did not stop blaring until about 5:00am. So needless to say none of us got any sleep. I called down in the am to speak with a Manager twice — once at 7:30 and once at 9:45 — and both times were told the Manage wasn’t in. I explained the predicament we had to deal with and he said he took $ 60.00 off the $ 400+ hotel stay. Totally ridiculous! With all the other hotel choices in the area I would have expected a lot more. Needless to say we won’t be back and if you are smart you won’t even bother with this hotel. Not worth the money.
FTR — Breakfast in the AM was definitely less than desirable but we did find a diner close by that was amazing (J.J.‘s Diner —
) and made up for the loss we were incurring by not indulging in the free breakfast with the room rate.

I had more business in Atlantic City to do and I came back to this hotel and it was very nice the hotel is very clean and the pool is very clean and when you go for your breakfast in the morning the food is fresh if you come to Atlantic City I definitely recommend this hotel this is where I stay when I have to do business in the city

This had to be the worst experience I have ever had and one of the reasons I only stay at Marriott brand hotels!!! I arrived at this hotel JULY 24TH 2015 and the front desk was kind and the building looked very clean. I check into my room 207 and the carpet is dirty stained I wore slippers my entire stay. This was so nasty to me it smelled old and didn’t look like it has been shampooed in along time. Secondly, I am ready to snuggle with my fiancé as I pull back the sheets what do I see a BLOOD STAIN. Yea I know WTF right that’s what I said my fiancé and I just wanted it to be like a juice stain but not at all pure BLOOD!!! I was so disappointed because I never wanted to be the guest that complains but that isn’t it. The front desk brings me sheets and bless her heart because she was very kind hearted. there were cigarette burns the women came to my room three times before the sheets were at least decent. I call the manager today 7÷29÷15 and I spoke with JOHN who was absolutely no help. I explain my situation and the manager tells me that he can refund me my taxes back… sir are you SERIOUS!!! I chuckled because this was such a slap in the face I asked for the corporate number. I call corporate and they give me the number I speak to a women who is extremely nice but she offers me 100.00 after a 400.00 stay I am not pleased at all. I do not feel like I should have paid for my first night at all. I was tired after a long ASS drive and I had to wait to lay down. This would have to be the worst experience of my life because this hotel can care two SHITS if you are satisfied or not. Its all about the money but they will not receive another penny of my hard earned money for despicable service. I am extremely upset I will never do a HOLIDAY INN again and I will never recommend that no one stays here that’s from the heart. If there is anyone looking at this do not I repeat everrrrr stay at the holiday inn you will regret it and end up doing exactly what I am now!!!

We stayed last night in the Jacuzzi room. Room was very clean accommodations are great, customer service is very friendly. Unfortunately it was the worst night of sleep I ever had. Because a group of women running up and down the hall screaming and cursing and having a party at 10:45pm. After they left for the club around 1130. The extremely large person staying above us decided to march and jump around the room until about 3:00am. Then approximately 4:00am the very rowdy group of women drunk off their butts came back to party some more. So I guess what I’m saying is hotel walls are paper thin.

Stayed here about 2 weeks ago on business; the hotel was recommended to me by a colleague who regularly travels in this area.
My experience from beginning to end was fabulous. Front desk service was extremely friendly, polite, and courteous at check-​in and provided me with a choice of rooms to stay in as they had availability.
I didn’t really have a preference and was given a room on the 2^nd floor which was beyond adequate and exceeded my expectations. Quite frankly, I expected something average for a HIE, but this room was very nice. The entire room was spotless, nice HDTV, super comfy bed, and free wifi. I mention the wifi because A: It worked! & B. It didn’t disconnect every 10 minutes like it has at other hotels I have stayed at.
The continental breakfast once again, exceeded my expectations. It was a hot breakfast including, eggs, breakfast meats, pancakes, hot & cold cereals, breads, biscuits & gravy (delicious). Free coffee all day as well!
I was here for business but the hotel is located 10 – 15 minutes away from Atlantic City. Anyone looking for somewhere to stay which is moderately priced and not right in the center of AC should consider this location. I know I certainly will the next time I am in the area for leisure.

Nice hotel. Very clean.

Stayed here for a weekend in AC for a bachelorette party. The front desk staff were awesome! They were very knowledgable about the area and have us good suggestions!
The room was much bigger than what I expected. Lots of room to get ready! Very clean! Everyone that staying in the room (3 of us) were happy!
I missed the breakfast in the morning, but grabbed a cup of coffee around 11am. And it was hot like it was just brewed! To me, that right there, says a lot. They care about their guests!

My wife and I just came back from AC this weekend. We stayed at Holiday Inn Express for the night.
It’s definitely a nice, clean hotel. The room was nice, bathroom was clean, and the staff were all polite and friendly. They provide a free breakfast in the morning (7am) and coffee is free anytime of the day. They also have a small pool and fitness center (only machines). Free wifi as well.
The place is about a 10 – 15 minute taxi ride from the casinos. The good thing about the hotel is that it has a shuttle bus that takes you to the casinos. The problem is that it’s not free (you pay $ 15 for the round trip). But in return, you get a $ 20 voucher to play at the Show Boat Casino. The bus runs from 5:10pm till 1:30am at night. It comes every two hours.
All in all, this place is great. It’s very affordable and peaceful.

This is a very nice hotel and very nice holiday inn. It is clean. No residual smells. Service is quick, nice, and friendly. The breakfast is fantastic and the breakfast area is very relaxing.
It’s a short drive to AC and a nice escape from the rest of AC.
The pool and whirlpool is also very nice.
When we do not have comp rooms at the casinos, this is a great place to stay. It’s lovely even as a little weekend escape from the city.
I dont know about the other motels along Route 30 in Absecon. There are plenty of them and probably cheaper too. But you will probably get what you pay for.
For a relatively affordable price, this Holiday Inn Express is very very nice and worth it. If you are going to go through all that ruckus at a casino, why not retire at a nice and quiet hotel?
And extras — when you ask for razor and shaving cream, they got it! you wont get THAT at any of the casinos much less the motels!

I really liked this hotel. The hotel was very clean and well maintained by a very pleasant staff. I must have gotten 3 – 4 «good morning» greetings on my way to breakfast. The night prior I relaxed in the hot tub and went for a quick swim. The pool area was spotless and didn’t have that omnipresent chlorine stench found at some pools.
My room was very clean and the breakfast was about what you would find elsewhere… but good. Best «hotel coffee» I’ve had in a while.

There are quite a number of places along Route 30 for you to stay outside Atlantic City without spending too much money, almost comical in fact. My stay at this Holiday Inn happened out of mere happenstance – my father is «Gold Member,» and I got a free room (and dinner at Café 2825 [see another of my reviews]) in return for driving his girlfriend down to AC.
I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. We arrived around midnight, and the staff at the desk was pleasant and amusing – not an easy task for a late shift. We found the room easily enough and it was clean and comfortable.
The continental breakfast was adequate for such an establishment, and while not sophisticated, had a large selection with fresh coffee. I passed by a swimming pool and gym which seemed pretty nice, too.
The staff was accommodating because we had to leave later than expected, and I had no troubles while checking out. All around perfect for someplace to lay your head without parting with too much cash.

nice hotel, nothing great but it was a solid 3 star. everything you SHOULD expect from holiday inn, though it seems hard to come by any more.

Very clean, this hotel was remodeled point in the past year. Décor in room has a contemporary feel to it, a lot nicer than a typical HIE. I’d say this hotel is very comparable to a Hampton Inn with better furniture in the room. I’d stay here again for sure

Absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. VERY clean, lobby and elevators were spotless, had free breakfast and a shuttle to the casinos (did not use but good to know for future stays.) Front desk staff very patient and friendly despite it being a busy night. A great alternative to paying sky high boardwalk prices.

Hmm. I’ve stayed in a few places in AC ranging from crappy to high end and I can honestly say that if you just need a place to stay and don’t mind the absence of a casino i would definitely stay at this holiday inn. I was 100% surprised walking in and seeing the well maintained indoor pool, gym, free continental breakfast, modern room with LCD tv that had a ton of channels, pull out leather couch, bathroom with granite sink, clean carpet, clean linens, mini fridge, microwave, cups, plates, paper towels, a separate dining area… etc etc. I was like ok let me go out side because maybe this is not a holiday inn!!! Now i love my fancy $$$$ hotels but i have to say that i really enjoyed staying here. The only thing that brought me back to reality was the hard bed :(. Of course there has to be a catch.
Oh and on a high demand concert weekend (Jayz and Kanye West) the prices remained reasonable @ 124 after tax when the majority of the others were 400+ for one standard room
free parking and they have a shuttle that takes you to Resorts hotel. Taxi’s to the strip are about 30 – 40 each way so be prepared for that if you don’t drive.
We ate brunch @ this place the front desk agent suggested called T.W. Howell’s about 3 – 4 miles away on rte 30 because we had a long night at the concert and could not make the continental breakfast which ended at 9:30am. The food was really good! Pineapple upside down pancakes and belly buster sandwich (Philly
cheese steak with eggs and bacon on it). This place closes at 2pm btw
Overall. I would definitely stay here again. 4 stars in AC really doesn’t mean much so you might as well save money and just drive the 10 minutes to get to the strip… gamble. eat… party and come back to your nice reasonably priced hotel.

This is an older Holiday inn but it is really well maintained and a new building was added a year ago. The result: spacious clean rooms, a new swimming pool and new fitness center well equipped for a Holiday Inn express with 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 bike, 1 total gym machine. Friendly staff, great breakfast in the morning… Complimentary shuttle to Atlantic city in the afternoon to late night. Would definitely stay here again.
