What guests think

At Howard Johnson by Wyndham Atlantic City, reviews most often highlight friendly, accommodating staff and a budget-friendly stay near the boardwalk and casinos, while also noting that the surrounding neighborhood can feel run-down with panhandlers and late-night noise.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean rooms but recurring reports of smoke odors, stained carpets, and occasional maintenance issues. Rooms are dated yet functional, some small but with comfortable beds; amenities like fridges or coffee makers are inconsistent, and hallway or street noise can carry. Facilities are basic: a pool that is sometimes closed or limited in hours, free but tight parking, and an on-site diner praised for breakfast though not included. Overall, expect a simple, value stay with helpful service if you’re comfortable with the gritty surroundings.

The staff at check in was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and because I was early they gave me a room that was ready before mine. They were also helpful with any questions I asked. Wish the pool would have been open longer. After a very long time in the sun and enjoying the Boardwalk we could have used the pool.

The staff was helpul . The rooms need to be updated , painted, different bedding. Mattress was excellent. We thought the pool was open, it was drained and being worked on. There were alot of homeless people around and we understand that is out of their control. The Cafe next door was a grand plus. Not sure if I would return.

Parking at the hotel is not ideal. Cars pull 3 deep under the hotel and you give your keys to the desk attendant. If you are parked in the back spot and the person in the front spot needs out, they move your car. I didn't like that idea at all. There is an open lot next to the hotel where you can also park, so we parked there. The hotel had a smell of cigarettes and weed. The bathroom had a red stain in the corner behind the door that looked like blood. The towels were like sand paper and covered in hair. The hotel is in need of a major update! The hotel served it's purpose for 1 night but we would not stay there again

The hotel was not clean. Bed skirt had stains all over it. The carpet was extremely dirty. The bathroom very old and run down with rust everywhere. And the bed sheets smelled like perfume. The area was much worse. And it was not cheap by any means. Might have expected it if it was cheap. Will not stay again. Staff was nice though, check in went easy and fast.

Giant roach in our room. Filthy mirrors, bathroom. Iron is erratically placed on its holder. For some reason the mini fridge is placed on the desk. Worst hotel I’ve stayed at in a while. Left immediately. The google maps rating is a lie. It’s a 1 star hotel.

I stayed at the Howard the 29th of November, I extended my stay until the 1st. The beds were nicely made but the carpet is outdated old and dirty. I was laying in bed and started to itch on my left arm. The itching didn’t stop I then hopped up and looked at my sheets and there was a tiny bedbug. I gathered my things and left. I will never stay here again.

First day I arrived there was hair trimmings in the bathtub and on the toilet. The bathroom floor was dirty and the room smelled musty. I noticed multiple strands of hair under the sheets. For clean towels we were asked to grab them from the front desk instead of someone brining it up to us and only provided 3 towels at a time (which could barely fit around an adult due to the small size). Housekeeping only came once out of the whole week we stayed. We also had leave our car keys at the front desk each time we returned just in case they needed to move it for another car. Overall I wouldn’t recommend from my experience.
