  We had an excellent experience. Check in was quick and pleasant. Our room was clean. I strongly recommend eating at Bill’s Bar and Burgers, easily the best burger I’ve ever had! Free parking was the cherry on top. Will definitely be back.

  Well where should I start I wanted to take a short early birthday trip with my husband so I chose a hotel base on price, parking, hotel stars and location. I never stay on the first floor because of noise. We were given room 717 and the doors and walls were thin. We could hear every slam, scream, and laugh from the hallway. We could also hear conversations from the next room. My husband went to turn on a lamp near the bed which under normal circumstances wouldn't be something dangerous to do. So imagine his surprise when after trying to adjust the postition of the swivel joint, there was a large spark. When I turn around I saw a larger puff of smoke coming from the lamp. I called the front desk but no one picked up. So, when we went to the front desk to complain about the lamp, we were told that out of 20 floors, there was no other room for us to go to. Maintenance did show up in about fifteen minutes to fix the problem and they were nice. That was thirty minutes of repair time taken away from our stay while they replaced the lamp. The TV was spoty for every channel we tried to watch. The bed and the water pressure was great. With everything that happened, we will never forget our stay here which will help us to choose another location if we decide to return to Atlantic City.

  so I booked three rooms on Priceline.com for an event this past weekend, Nov 6 & 7, 2025. We arrived at night and when you walk up to the front desk, there's loud bar music playing about 25 ft away. You can not communicate with the front desk agent properly. More importantly, they staff the front desk with unprofessional jerks who start to help you, then move on to the next guest. Its like putting 20 items on the belt at the grocery store and the clerk rings in an item and then takes the next customer in line. I instructed the clerk I paid for 3 rooms. He took my credit card, license and made a key and then went to the next guest. I asked if not finishing with a guest was their policy. He ignored me. When he finally returned back to me, he said he could not find the other two so he moved on to the next guest. I was puzzled. I asked so you dont want to let me know that? I showed him my reservations but he refused to look at it and only said I only have one room. The guy then threw his arms on the air and started yelling at me saying it was my fault for booking on a 3rd party site and there was zero he could do. The clerk went on to say he didnt care what happened to him and I could do anything I wanted... making me think he wanted to fight me. I laughed and told him he knew nothing of my capabilities and should do research before challenging the unknown. I asked for the Mgr on duty, who was as useless as the first guy. I asked for his business card, which was the only thing that went smoothly that night. I received that without hesitation. Apparently, someone approached one of my party after I left to say they had no control over a 3rd party reservation, which this wasn't so much about. The experience was a negative 3 stars making a 3rd party booking worse. I got the room for my team members who stated the stay was exactly like the confrontation, horrible start and worse finish.

  Very nice casino and hotel. Casino is modern and easy to get drinks. I played slots and had great selection. Stayed at hotel. Room easy partially updated, but I kept hitting my head on lamps between beds. Weird configuration. Toilet was low/ not comfort height. Water pressure great! Ate at Anthony & Vics steakhouse and Chart House seafood. Fantastic quality and quantity of food. So delicious. Breakfast at diner was meh. Not worth it.

  So for measure, I'm in my late 30's. This place seems straight out of Chevy Chase's Vegas vacation. My wife booked it two nights for free, thinking what could be the difference (?). It's outlandishly outdated, I mean straight out of the late 80s/90s. For comparison. I've stayed previously at Ocean (x2), Harrahs, and Borgata. While having visited Ceasars, Bally's and Tropicana. This place was straight out of the 80s/90s, and I don't mean looks like, but also FEELS like it. It looks like it they haven't touched this hotel since it was made. I didn't expect to leave a review, because I had low expectations, but figured I'd do so anyway. So I don't have many pictures unfortunately. That said, it's not a bad hotel by any means. Just know you're not in for a world of luxury or grandeur. If you skip the valet, it's free Self parking. Which is amazing (seriously, it's awesome), but the parking garage, is also very run down. I'm guessing this is just to draw in people for the casino though. From the self parking you take an elevator down to the lobby, and....I swear to you it's like a 80s/90s Elevator, littered in the most random dirt, debris and random items you'll find. We saw anywhere from broken hangars to large pieces of lint and dirt all throughout the elevator. (Yet again my expectation was zero so I wasn't even mad). Check in was easy. $15 for early check in. Room was....okay. AC was limited/half working. We were on the lower/non-renovated floors though. (7th floor). I checked the mattress for bed bugs and the actual mattress was absolutely filthy, brown stains all over with a bed sheet wrapped over it. ALSO: It's also one of those old school hotels with the doors that connect to the adjoining room, I heard the entire rooms conversation next door while trying to sleep. I'll attach the video if it lets me. Casino/party vibe: I actually had a lot of fun at the casino and would say this is where this place shines the most. It had multiple Live bands, casino is on the smaller size but the payouts seemed good, and drinks/cocktail waitresses were very frequent and drinks were great in taste and size. It's definitely a wayyy older demographic, but that can be a good thing. Way less drama. I'd say it's okay if you want a single cheap night at a casino in AC, but it's definitely a 3-star experience. I actually like it being away from the boardwalk, but needs serious modernization. I'll probably stick to somewhere else in the future.
