That means concert-goers are just minutes from sweet dreams after the show. A free fitness center, outdoor pool and spa-salon up the convenience and comfort for the value.

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.

Room was small for a Premium upgrade

I have stayed in a lot of the rooms in Atlantic City. I was disappointed in the size of these rooms since I upgraded to premium.

Nice Hotel, Poor Clientel

This hotel in itself is great, however, the clientele that comes is very low end and makes for an unpleasant experience. I experienced long slow lines in checkin, valet, valet pickup, etc. Also the table games have high minimums which I thought was strange for the average person who was there. There are better options for similar prices in AC.
