This is the second time my friends and I have stayed at your hotel. Whereas we find the rooms to be the cleanest that we have stayed at, there were some concerns. The check in process is extremely long compared to other places we have stayed. Our reservations have been made online, not directly with the hotel. Both times, we have requested a room with two beds, smoking. Both times, we have been put into non smoking rooms. We have also had to call to the front desk because our TV remote did not have batteries in it. Other than those minor discrepancies, we have enjoyed our stay. We are avid poker players so that is where we spend 98% of our time. The poker room has always been nice, the staff and dealers courteous. The table service is horrendous. It was literally 30-40 minutes until your drink arrived. There has always only been 1 or 2 servers for the entire room. Need to have more / better service available to those of us who spend 6-10 hours at a time playing poker.
Love the new promotion with the discounted room for playing 5 hours of poker. Good deal!!

I thought that the room would have been more lavish for the price. It was clean, but there was no hot tub and I went for a romantic getaway thank goodness I we were able to create our own romantic atmosphere. I really do not think I would stay at Bally's again. Because I'm not a regular gambler at Atlantic City and did not have any comp points I believe they put us in the room they did.

After we checked in,my room was in the Claridge Tower.I was not to pleased to see that,but I am one to at least give it a chance.The room we were given was very dusty,It really felt dirty.We did let the front desk know that we were not happy and the management did switch rooms for us and the second was alot cleaner and was dusted.I do commend the management for acting quickly and moving us.

I booked a room at Bally's online and at check in was given a room at the Claridge. I do not think the room was worth the amount of money I paid and I was not happy that the total amount was charged to my credit card even before checking in. I was under the impression that the credit card was to hold the room. I decided after to pay with a different card and was unable to. This has never occurred at other hotels in Atlantic City

The hotel couldn't find one of my two reservations. They made me pay for the second room again even though it was prepaid. I had to call central reservations afterwards and they located the second reservation and said I would be credited. I'll have to wait for my credit card statement before I can confirm that it's taken care of. What a pain!!
The non-smoking room smelled like a smoking room. They did clean the air for us but that only lasted afew hours and the room smelled again.
When I made the reservation I made it for Bally but we ended up at Claridge. The front desk informed me that I couldn't have a room at the Bally towers because the rate would be higher. What a scam! They shouldn't advertise Bally when they put you at Claridge. I'll know better next time.
My experience at the front desk was extremely unpleasant and stressful. I felt like a sitting duck and had to do what they say or we'll be out of a place to stay. While they were locating my reservations,which took forever, they threaten to tow my car away. Explain to me how a person can check in fast when the front desk is so incompetent.

Well to start off the bathroom tub was dirty (it had hair in it), the cable was very fuzzy,and the card did not work well in the elevator. I stayed at a hotel last year for cheaper and it was cleaner , bigger room, and had no problem getting to my room in the elevator. People who were in the elevator with us were having problems too. It was hard to find the waitresses to get a drink.

I booked what I thought was a premium room. It might be by AC standards. But much smaller than most 2 star locations I've stayed, in the past. Bath towels and coffee packets were not replaced during my two day stay. No big deal but disappointing for the price of the room. Other than than thing were OK in general.
The lounge was pleasant, with attentive staff. The location was very good, just about center of the Boardwalk. Overall I'd rate my stay 2 of 5

Hotel did not have the room I requested, the price for the room on the week-end was a little pricey for the size. The hotel does not give good directions to the outside pool area. Outside pool was small and the lounge chairs were to close together. Boardwalk was nice, would have liked to have the beach bar opened later at night. The show "Ain't nothing like the Real Thing" was wonderful and everyone should see it, request a booth because the seating is to crowded.

Ceiling leaked directly over bed. Lucky we were not electrocuted. Took speaking to hotel manager to get into a safe room which was much poorer that the one we first had. Said it was a suite but it was not and lacked items in first room. Not happy.

In restaurant thought I would have to go to the Casino floor to get coffee with meal. Waiter said they were so use to serving drinks that coffee was a small problem. After three attempts and two people finally got a cup of coffee. Not happy.

The room was situated right next to the elevators.It was constantly noisy.Also,the walls were paper thin.It sounded like the people in the adjacent room were actually in our room.Upon leaving,it was almost impossible to get an elevator to take our luggage downstairs.(this was the Claridge hotel on the 14th floor).Never again!When we complained to the manager,he was only able to give us a forty dollar coupon for lunch because we didn't purchase th tickets through the hotel.

We thought we had booked at Bally's and then ended up getting the "Claridge Tower" where the rooms were not as nice as we had expected. Also the Bally's pool with whirlpools that we had been looking forward to is actually an additional cost of $10/person. The smaller, less fancy Claridge pool is free. The staff at the front desk were very rude and did not make us feel like valued guests in any way. We had to switch rooms, as our first room had some spiders on the beds. We weren't given any kind of compensation for the inconvenience.

Arriving at the hotel was difficult with a long line to check in. There are different sections to the hotel as they have purchased adjacent properties and renamed them all Ballys. We got a room assignment in the Claridge (or something like that). This part of the hotel is very old. There were five elevators and yet we had long waits to get one. You need to be very fast to get to the elevator as the door doesn't remain open very long. The room was old and the bathroom was very small. The sheets were like sandpaper and the carpets were dirty. The casino bar was dirty as was the casino in general. In the smoking sections of the casino, there were cigarette butts that people just extinguished on the wood next to slot machines without even an ashtray! The people who work there are friendly and helpful. The "Ain't nothing like the real thing" Motown musical show was very good as was the Italian restaurant. There were all kinds of people in the casino. The beach bar is kind of nice if you like to hanging out, getting a drink and a snack. The rooms in the newer sections of the hotel may be better but we never got to see them. If you do not mind kind of dirty, dumpy casino with lots of action, then it is worth it. If you are looking for a more upscale, clean, facility - don't go there.

I thought I would have a room in Ballys Park Place or even Wild West, instead I had to stay in the Claridge which is now part of Ballys. But the rooms and the hotel layout is still the old Claridge and never my preference for hotels in Atlantic City. Had I know ahead of time that I would be given a room there I would not have booked with Bally. Now I am very specific when booking by requesting only Bally Towers.
