Independent Absecon hotels

"Perfect stayincation"

"The hotel offers you a bunch of amenities, honestly, it has a lot of things to do and also many options for dining, however if you travel during low season and with kids it’s not the best option since the pool is not open for kids unless is Friday or the weekend. Our room was overall clean although in needs a little deep cleaning and update. There was some wear and tear here and there that could be address. The staff was great, from all the restaurants in there not all of them were opened so be mindful with that."

"I always bring my Mommy here to have some fun and Tropicana never disappoints. However would be good to have more entertainment somehow."

"Paid over $400 for one night stay where the bathroom clogged immediately after first use. There was no maintenance or staff that helped to fix the issue. They did not offer another room or any compensation for the inconvenience. Will absolutely avoid this hotel Absecon-Atlantic City Holiday Inn at all cost. "

"Honestly, the best part of the stay is the location in relation to everything around it like the boardwalk, beach and venues like Hard Rock and Ocean for events. The price reflects the conditions and age of the building, rooms and public spaces. If they eventually refurbish the property, I expect room prices would triple or quadruple. But for now, if you value location and price --- this is the place for you. You get what you pay for... so only book if you are comfortable with elevators that occasionally skip a beat and drop a floor, endless smells of years gone by, and a 1970's roadside motel feel to the room."

"The staff was very friendly and helpful we had an issue with our room during checking and they change us to another one .. The beds are very comfortable, the shower handle telephone and remote needed to be replace in the room we stayed in but overall good place to stay for the price and only a 15 mint drive to the casinos . They offered coffee tea and granola bars for breakfast . "

"Absolutely awful and unsafe experience. I booked this hotel for a cheer competition and arrived after a 6-hour drive with my three young children and our dog. From the moment we entered the lobby, the atmosphere felt off. There was a woman sitting there who appeared homeless, which immediately raised concerns. While checking in, my 7-year-old needed to use the restroom, and staff repeatedly insisted she go alone, which was completely unacceptable. We got our keys and headed to the room, but the conditions were shocking. The hallways had visible damage, including holes in the ceiling, and the smell was overwhelming—a strong urine odor throughout. It was disgusting. When I opened the room door, it was clearly filthy and falling apart, so we didn’t even step inside. To make matters worse, another individual who did not appear to be a guest was riding a bicycle through the hallway near our room. The entire environment felt unsafe, unsanitary, and honestly gave off the kind of unsettling feeling you’d expect from something you’d see in a trafficking documentary. I immediately requested a refund. The manager first offered a “nicer side,” then denied the refund and claimed I was lying. Thankfully, I had photos and Expedia issued the refund. If you value your safety, your children’s safety, and basic cleanliness—do NOT stay here."

"Clean room, nice staff, wish I tried the breakfast"

"The rooms are beautiful, clean, and spacious! We got married nearby on Saturday and stayed there for 3 nights; we had 5 rooms total for our wedding party. We asked that all the rooms be close and on the same floor and they accommodated our request. Thank you, Andrew!!!"
