Changed hands and staff in front office was inefficient, and maid service was effected by that. We have stayed there for years, and loved it, but because of the changes, will consider other options.

I had the apartment and we saw lots of roaches at night some very large. We couldn’t find the xfinity remote so we had to watch the channel from previous guests. The cabinets in the kitchen needed to be cleaned. Both doors front and back are very heavy and slam shut. I think my hand is broken. These things can be fixed so I would stay here again. If this is fixed.

what I didnt like is that when we arrived at the hotel to check in. we had to walk to next hotel to check in and get the keys to our room. We were not informed before hand that we had to do this. we have been going to Empress for about 30 years. there was new staff . It was hard to communiate with the staff do language barriers (maid service)

Our stay here was pretty nice. It's steps from the beach and a reasonable walk to lots of shops and restaurants. The beds were a little low and the air conditioner didn't keep the room as cool as we would've liked but it was serviceable. The lights outside were quite bright, so the room didn't get particularly dark at night. The pool was a nice amenity as well, very well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed something. We'd stay here again!

This hotel is so close to the boardwalk! We got there around 6pm and had to walk next door to check in which was a little ghetto especially since we had all of our bags. It was what I expected for the price point

Wasn’t too bad for the price, but the room smelled like a musty basement. Definitely weds updated carpeting or flooring, and could use a bigger tv. Beds were ok, but pillows were small. A little inconvenient we had to walk next door to check in sand out, otherwise not too bad. Very close to the beach, easy parking, fairly quiet.

Bathroom was extremely clean. But the room had a musty almost moldy smell and the carpet felt moist, so I refused to walk around without at least flip flops or socks on my feet which was annoying.

After staying here for more than 10 years every summer, we were shocked and disappointed to see how the service has gone down. We arrived on Friday and never got fresh towels for the entire weekend even after asking. No one ever made the beds. Once the trash was emptied. We had to ask for more toilet paper . When we arrived, there was a sign on the office door stating that we had to check in at the hotel next door. The Empress used to be a clean frills motel near the beach. I’m sorry to say that I will never stay there again!

The property was outdated but not bad. The room was clean but had an overwhelming bad smell. The pool was small but was clean and inviting. The front desk is located in the next door building which is strange but they have hot coffee and friendly helpful staff. The ice machine is not free and requires quarters.

For the price, I guess I shouldn't complain, but there were a few big issues. 1) The lock on the door to the balcony was broken. It would lock only after you played with it for about five minutes, trying each angle to make it lock. I know the chances of someone climbing the balcony and breaking in were miniscule, but we were a pair of single women travelling alone and were a bit creeped out by it. 2) The room was so bright at night you could almost read by it. The curtains on the main window didn't go all the way down and let light through at the bottom and there was only a tiny blind on the balcony door window. Being on the corner of the building, we had high intensity lights glowing at us from both sides. They need to replace the window coverings. 3) The Empress lobby was closed the entire time we were there and we had to go down to the Sahara lobby whenever we needed something, which was often, because housekeeping was hit or miss. We had to ask for towels & toilet paper every day and some days, all they did was drop it off and not even empty our garbage cans. The location was excellent, though, and the staff that we did engage with were very pleasant.
