Birthday Getaway

This was my husband and I first trip to Atlantic City. We enjoyed gambling, drinking and eatting. We also joined the rewards program. The only problem was that we had a non-smoking room on a noin-smoking floor, but people were smoking anyway. Our room smelled so bad, you would have thought that we were smoking. I'm glad we were there for only one night. Overall, we had a good time.

If you are a seafood lover, go on the weekends. They have all you can eat seafood buffet all weekend long and the price is reasonable.

Perfect for the Price

I wasn't even planning on going to AC, but a buddy of mine told me about a 28 room on the website on the boardwalk. So AC bound I was and check in right away the room looked pretty nice the two seconds I was in there sober before hitting the casino floor.

Amazing Bargain

My son and I had to go down to a convention in AC and picked the Showboat. We got a great deal. The hotel staff was A+ but the dealers in the casino were not very friendly and rate a c-.

Father Son Getaway

Needed a few days to get away and looked for a good price. We received a great deal and went. The room was what we expected, clean and neat. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative I found was location. You are at the very end of the boardwalk (only the Revel is past this hotel - the Taj and Resorts are also near you) There were temps in the single digits with the wind chill. You had to drive everywhere because most of the other casinos are 1-2 miles away. As we found out, in the winter, that is a very tough walk.
