Wonderful Stay - Stellar Staff!
I stayed at the Showboat while attending a conference. My room was clean (there were a couple of mystery stains), and all of the staff were very helpful. The price for the room on Saturday seemed very high, but the was offset by the bargain price the rest of the week. I felt very safe traveling between the Showboat and Trump (where the conference was held).

Conference attendee Jim
Wasn't my first stay, but it will be my last
The front desk staff was very efficient and friendly. I was given a complimentary upgrade to a room in the Bourbon tower. The room itself did not appear to be any nicer than the rooms I've stayed in other times. The only difference I noticed was a double sink and a little better view. BEWARE if you valet park your car. After checking out, and on my way home, I noticed that my GPS device was gone. I don't have it mounted, I just keep it tucked in between the seat and console. I guess they left the power cord to avoid immediate suspicion. I realized it was gone when I went to use it to find an alternate route to avoid some heavy traffic. I called security to report it missing, obviously my word against theirs, but maybe it would be helpful if other guests were experiencing missing items. I was on hold for approximately 30 minutes. A security team member took my name and phone number, asked for the make and model of my car and the device and then said someone would call me back. Still waiting for that call. Overall, the room was inexpensive, but after adding in the price of replacing the GPS, I could have stayed at a nicer hotel.

Mr. Irwin Hass
Average
The ShowBoat is a nice hotel. My room was average at best and had several things that were disappointing. Airconditioning would not cool room down at all regardless of setting, bathroom has mold and hair in the tub and on the floor from previous guest, TV was broken and would only show screen in a variety of different colors. I was only in the room to sleep and to shower for the most part and this is why I did not complain and also knew from staff it was sold out and I was not going to get a new room. I am a very seasoned traveler and have stay in Atlantic City for many years. I hope you read this and take appropriate steps to fix the listed items as the next guest might not be so understanding. Thanks for the opportunity to write in and let you know how my stay was.

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-.

Mid-week stay
Older hotel on the boardwalk. Good value during the week. Found left over plastic bags all over the room. Glad they were empty! Leaking bath sink/shower. Paper thin walls. Good buffet and sandwich shop. They will charge you for wifi and it can be slow and spotty. Staff was polite and helpful. Easy check-in/out. Typical hotel d-bags yelling at 4 a.m. Not young kids either.
