Eldorado Atlantic City Beach Block

The room was nice and clean. I was able to control the temperature. The only problem was the noise outside from the other guests

Well i booked a room online when i got there there was nobody at front desk had to wait like 30 minutes then once i got the room i go in there and there is no TV and there was water all around the bed on the floor I guess form the rain i came out and told from desk about it and he told me it was the only room left there is no more TV and that he was going to speak to the manager so I can get some money back which never did. on top of that there was a $100 deposit that took almost an hour next day to get it back because once again no one at front desk i had to call the number and he said he'll be there in 2 minutes took him 30 min and that was because i call the number again and told him i was there to check in for the day which made him come back within 2 min see they think they are smart if you give them cash for the deposit they play it off taking their time to get back to front desk to give you the money to see if you just leave and for some people that live out of town that what is just going to happen they make you wait 'til you get bored and just leave and out of $100 deposit and if you pay with credit card it takes even longer and sometimes you don't even get it

Upon check in, no staff members were present. Just a sign on the window saying will be back in 10 min. I waited, no one came. Therefore, I called their number and was told that someone will be there in a few minutes. A girl arrived and took a very long time trying to figure out how to check me in because she was apparently new. She also charged me an early check in fee even though I was only there 30 minutes prior to check in time. I come here all the time and was not happy about that. Once she finally checked me in and gave me my keycard, it turned out she checked me into a room that was already occupied!! I go back to front desk and again, nobody was there. I called the number again and this time they sent a guy over (probably the manager). He arrived within 5 minutes at least and correctly checked me into my room AND had to change the key card because the girl initially only activated the keycard for two nights instead of my three night stay. The room itself was very nice and clean. The TV remote didn't work, but I figured out how to get the TV to work using the side buttons on the TV itself. I didn't watch much TV while I was there, so it wasn't an issue. On the last day I was there as I was returning to my room, a homeless girl was sleeping on the ground near my room entrance. She didn't bother me much and was gone by the time I was leaving my room again. I just hope they return to having 24 hour front desk staff, if I decide to go again.

This place was a solid, inexpensive last minute option for a concert on the boardwalk. The room was mostly clean, nothing crazy to complain about. The lady at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Parking was $10/ night, but also gave me decent parking for the concerts. It's a pretty basic place to stay, but all in all this was a good choice for the price and I had a good experience staying here.

We gave the Eldorado a chance because of the great price and many mixed reviews and we regretted it immediately. I squeezed my car into the tightest little parking spot while workers were taking up two spots for each of their vehicles and climbed out of the back of my 4Runner to check in. The TV was missing from my 2nd floor room, the toilet didn't flush and the floors were dirty - when I told the front desk, the response was "we can't give a refund but I can give you a late check-out or move you to Room 101" -- like I want to stay by myself in a room on the first floor, closest to the sidewalk and street OR stay longer in a dirty room with no flushing toilet and no TV?! Luckily, my friends were staying two rooms down, their toilet worked and they let me borrow their little speaker for background noise at night. There's a deadbolt lock but I didn't trust it, and there were no additional locks like a chain or bar for protection so I pushed a chair in front of the door. However, the yellow lights right next to the room's window shined through the tattered curtains so I could easily see any potential predators at night. The only positives are that the check-in was relatively painless and the hair dryer was new (although I'm pretty sure a camera was hidden in it so I turned it away from the bathroom door). If you don't care where you stay and just want a bed, go for it - if you want to be comfortable at all, go somewhere else.
