We found the Showboat to be a good value for the money. The room was clean and well-appointed. The service was good. There was no line for our check-in early Saturday evening and it was handled very quickly. We registered for a players card in the Casino and were given a coupon book for free/discount food and drinks in the various restaurants and bars, free play in the Casino, and discounts in the gift shops. We sampled the buffet, as well as several of the other restaurants and found the food enjoyable and the service courteous. The only disappointing things were the fact that the pool was closed after Labor Day, even though the weather was quite warm and that the beach area in front of the hotel was not very clean or maintained.

I stayed at Showboat with my sister and girlfriend. We had a nice vacation there, the only thing we were disappointed in there were not many of the restaurants open when we were there. I not sure if it was because the time of year or if they had closed for good.
The rooms were very clean and neat, the beds were very comfortable.
We have stayed at Showboat before and have always enjoyed our stays. We will probably be back in the Spring.

We enjoyed our stay at the Showboat and had a lot of fun playing in the Casino. The buffet was great and the value was just right. There were a wide variety of slots to play and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was easy to go right into the parking lot and exiting was just as easy. The only thing that we found was because it was at the end of the Boardwalk we did a lot of walking. But it was fun and we didn't mind walking since the weather was beautiful and all the stores were open.

My husband and I stayed for three nights at the Showboat and had a great time. The room was nice and clean. The staff was always helpful with any questions. We enjoyed the Rewards Card Shuttle to the other Casinos and use this transportation option to shop at the outlet stores and to eat at the restaurants. The only two areas that disappointed us were the price of the restaurants were too steep and we feel the parking should be free for guest at the hotel.

I do have a few things that I did want to mention as far as being dissatisfied with.
I came Sunday thru Wednesday and unfortunately a lot of the restaurants there were not open during those days (House of Blues mostly). Also, the indoor pool was not opened!Said it was "closed for the season"! Would this time of year be the season it should be opened?
The rooms were very nice and clean but the beds were some of the most uncomfortable beds I ever slept on in a hotel. I did change rooms once but the new room's bed was not much better.
I stayed at the Showboat because of the House of Blues which I was kinda disappointed with. The music playing was not even blues! I am a blues singer and really was hoping for a more bluesy feel to the place, but the restaurant wasn't even opened on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday!
I would come back to Atlantic City but don't think I'd stay at the same hotel again. The price was great but my back paid a bigger price because of the bed.Being in pain took a lot of the fun out of the trip for me.
Thanks for listening!

We had a wonderful time not only in Atlantic City but also touring other coastal towns. The only thing we did not like was that we had to repay to park every time I went back in the garage. Yes I understand that if you are a card holder your parking is free, but since we were from out of state and don't frequent casinos, we do not hold their cards and therefore had to pay each time in. I think if you stay at one of the hotels, the parking should be included.

My husband and I came to your hotel to celebrate our anniversary. It started out very nice but ended with a sour note.I caught a casino worker (in my words)looking the other way when a bet was placed on the wheel with the denominations of money on it. The min.bet was 2 dollars and another customer kept putting down only 1 dollar on the bet.I pointed this out to the worker and he just ignored it. My husband and I spent a lot of money in your casino but we won't again.I also felt the worker was rude.

This was a clean hotel the location was not the best. It is at the very end of the Boardwalk and I like walking but it was not easy to go shopping and visit the other casinos. There was not a lot of choices for food after regular hours. There was construction of a new hotel which our room was directly across from it. Check in person was not very friendly and we were told that we could have checked in at noon. When we were told not to check in until 5 p.m. All in all I would stay there again.

I went there with a co-worker and our 3 men who have mental disabilities. During check in our clerk was very courteous. We all felt very comfortable and not "out of place" as we have at other hotels. It made our clients feel very "normal" to be out in the public enjoying life just as others do everyday. Even though the men were in wheelchairs we were able to access every area in the hotel along with the casino. We would definitely take them there on vacation again.

I had spent thousands of dollars while there and got absolutely NO compensation. They wouldn't even make rsvp for a show at another hotel for me and my family. There was no entertainment at the casino and no information pertaining to events, specials, shuttle services between casinos, etc. The room was clean, however no attention to detail. An example, I had to call housekeeping because there was no coffee or cups in the room. When he arrived, the person knocked, handed me a bag and left without saying a word. I felt like a third class visitor and would probably not return again. Very disappointed with the way we were treated.

I really enjoyed our stay at The Showboat. The price was wonderful and I had not problem checking in even though I booked through Atlanticcity.com. The price I was quoted was the price they accepted. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that we had coupons for the buffet (BOGO)free and could not use it because it was closed the day we planned on eating there. We did enjoy the other Blues place where we did eat. The food was excellent. I certainly would stay again.

The Showboat was a relatively inexpensive place to stay. The casino was ok, and the poker room had action. Breakfast was good at the Mansion Cafe, and the buffet was good too. The rooms at the Orleans Tower were ok, but too far from the main casino floor. The video screen roulette was fantastic. The check in and check out was a breeze. The staff was polite, personable, and very friendly. Not too sure all of my play was tracked. I played a lot, and am not sure I received credit for all of my play. Over all, I would say it's an ok place to stay especially if you plan on visiting other casinos, and going out to other venues.

The room was clean, with a comfortable bed and a good-pressure, hot shower.

Furnishings were new and upscale, but not ultra-luxury.

This was a GREAT VALUE - it was the cheapest casino hotel available, but the room was not a budget room. We even had a refrigerator, although if you didn't happen to open the cabinet under the TV, you wouldn't know it was there!

Plus, I won a whole $20 in the casino!

Only gripe - no free internet.

We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodating. The room was nicer than a higher priced room at Caesar's. The service at check-in made the difference because there had been a foul-up in what their reservation showed as our preferences. We got the type of room we wanted because the lady at check-in asked our preferences about things, such as proximity top the elevator versus at the end of the hall, away from possible noise sources. We requested a room nearer the elevator top reduce walking and had no issues with noise. I highly recommend this hotel for their service and friendliness.
