Toilet paper still in the paper wraps on the counter. Adding to the fabulous five star accomodations were no robes, mismatched motel pillows, three fantastic tubes of generic small travel size soap and conditioner and your standard Hilton garden inn sandpaper extra schmedium size towels. There was an air purifier as well, however the buttons were ripped off and when it was plugged in it just beeped without stopping LOUDLY so I unplugged it.ĭid I mention EVERYTHING in the room was unplugged when we got in it? And boiling hot? Even the TVs and fridge were unplugged? Very five star of you, ocean casino resort. EVERYTHING in the room was unplugged when we got in it? Fortunately it didn't smell nearly as rank as the hallway thank heck. Huge couch, sitting area, floor to ceiling windows, two bathrooms.

Our 1 bedroom Oceanview suite (not cheap at all ~$850 on a Monday after taxes and fees) was huge with an absolutely stunning view. Imagine if you smoked 4 packs of reds and ashed them in a pint glass half full of three day old IPA. I've been in plenty of smoking casinos and don't mind if someone is smoking a cigar sitting next to me, so I'm not one of those over sensitive smoking nuts, but this floor, wow. Our room was assigned on a smoking floor, totally fine, but this smoking floor hallway smelled unlike any smoking floor I have ever been on.

Once again, I get it in ac at a big place, but also, not friendly five star service. Ok, after you check in, with a front desk person who tells you nothing about the hotel and is more like a spirit airlines gate attendant, with no welcome beverage or treat (relatively standard at 5 stars), without telling you how to get to your room in the absolutely massive lobby you are inspected and questioned for your key by a security guard. 20 person wide, hour and a half line, for most of the day. From the start, if you've seen the videos of the lines at the airport in Amsterdam over the summer, that's what it looks like checking in to this place. Have you ever heard the saying a Philadelphia 9 is a new york 2? Well, that's sure applicable here. Whoever decided they could advertise this place as a 5 star has clearly never stayed anywhere besides a Hilton garden inn, which would actually be better. The 'five star' ocean casino and resort may as well assign themselves another star, because the only thing they're on par with is a motel 6 (except amada restaurant, that place deserves 1 from Michelin).
