The only thing 'Royal' is the shaft you get from staying there! Where to start??? First of all, I booked my room online at $179 for 2 nights, but when my confirmation was sent to me the second night was at $279, still fighting with them over that...Second its a 72 hour cancellation, also, you get a 6-page dos/don't - and there are a million things you can't do and additional charges for everything under the sun, including 'unplugging tv', $10 fee for losing the room key, $100 security deposit. Not to mention how uncomfortable the beds/pillows are - oh, the pillows have a nice crunchy plastic cover on them too! They say the hotel was just remodeled - but I think they used crap from another motel - it hasn't been updated for 30 years!!! And be sure to bring the credit card you used to make the reservation - that's another 20% charge if you don't have it!!! Below is the email from my reservation...

ATLANTIC PALACE SUITES EMAIL CONFIRMATION PLEASE READ AND PRESENT AT CHECK IN

Atlantic Palace Suites

Basically, the hotel itself is in an excellent location, and the view that we had from our studio was excellent and we were lucky enough to be on a high floor. Having said that, the problem with a high floor is that the lifts at this place are the slowest ive ever come across.. you literally wait 10 mins sometimes for a lift!! I also had problems everyday with my access cards, for which can i add that you have to pay a key deposit for?!! They are old bent and dont even work! Having worked in the hotel industry I am aware that these cards cost next to nothing to replace so the key deposit is unjustified, As well, you have to pay for internet, which is ridiculous, considering that the hotel that we stayed at prior to checkin was a third of the price and had internet complimentary. The bed was rockhard and the pool was dirty and overused, and the rooms were in need of maintenance. You have to pay a significant security deposit upon arrival, which appeared reasonable until i went upstairs to me room and found the bathroom door literally hanging from only one hinge. They also charge you if you leave dirty dishes upon check out. Seriously?!! On a positive note, staff were good, maintenance were prompt.. i feel sorry for them, they must be busy!!

Was going to Atlantic City for a short weekend getaway, and concert. Found the Atlantic Palace online, and like that it was close to the House of Blues for the concert we were attending and the restaurant I reserved for dinner. Walked into the room and was very happy with the size and ocean views. The entier one wall was windows overlooking the ocean and boardwalk. Did not use kitchenette, but was very nice. The bed and pillows were awful, defintiely could use an upgrade there. Also there was a whistling from the wind coming from the one window that could be opened. Other than those two things, I was very pleased with the hotel and staff. Could possible find something nicer for the $$, but view made up for anyhting that we did not like.

This was not the first time I stayed at this hotel but I had more issues this time around than ever. The rooms were wonderful but there is too much that is unsaid at time of booking and even at check in. The total amount is never detailed, not including security deposits, room key fees etc. If you need more info you will NEVER be able to speak w/ anyone only via email. Customer service non existant. If you intend to stay here you better have $1000 to blow on holds, me personally I'd rather stay in Harrah's...they think they're Vegas and even in Vegas you would never deal with this many issues.
