My husband and I had a great experience at the Showboat. We went to Atlantic City for a friends birthday and the Showboat was one of the least expensive hotels for that weekend. It worked out perfect because all of the other couples going down for the party were able to stay at the same hotel. We had an easy time checking in to the hotel and the room was very clean. This was our first time staying at the Showboat and we would absolutely stay there again.

I didn't see a pool, so I can't comment on that but I do want to say when we arrived to our hotel room we didn't have an Iron, only 2 hangers, or pillows but I called housekeeping and they came to the room in minutes, that was nice.
I don't think that a hotel with casinos should have children under 18.
The people working at the showboat were great!

I actually didn't have many problems with hotel, I had a slight problem with Atlantic city.com, they put a hold on my credit card for the same amount of the hotel stay, they didn't inform me that they were going to do this, I found out when I tried to purchase something the day I was leaving, so of course I couldn't go shopping like I wanted to. It was rectified a couple days after I came home.

This was a lovely place to stay. The room looked out over the ocean and was very clean. The room had nice features like a large screen TV and internet access. The safe and the small fridge were hidden appropriately but easily accessible. The valet service was exceptional and when I had forgotten a small item in my car, staff retrieved the item instead of making me collect the car and have to park it again. Housekeeping was friendly and seemed eager to please. Overall a lovely visit and had I not been required to leave to get back to work, I would have likely tried to keep the room for another day or two. Thanks Showboat!

Nice, clean, friendly people, affordable rates
Good spacious bathrooms!!
Comfortable rooms and plenty of ammenities.
The convenience to the boardwalk is a plus and the shopping was available. I was there on businees - so I did not get to take advantage of some of the things the hotel offered, but would in future. The Parking was easy to get in and out as well as the check in and check out. The one draw back was Internet access. This should be a free service. All the employees were extremely pleasant. The security folks, check in staff, Casino dealers - everyone had a welcoming smile and a positive attitude. Very Nice!!

The rooms were very nice and well kept. The pillows were very uncomfortable. I had two rooms and I requested to have them together and they weren't. Also I needed a cot and the hotel ran out. I found the woman who worked in Guest Relations to be very rude when I informed her about the problem. I felt I was not respected because I didn't have a platinum playing card. If I am going to pay $400 a night to say in a hotel, I expect to be accommodated.

There is no border between the smoking and non-smoking sections in the casino. While my boyfriend and I walked around, all of a sudden we would be surrounded by smokers. I am asthmatic so this was extremely bothersome to me.

The room was clean, but the sheets on the bed were thin and torn in several spots. The pillows were very feathery and uncomfortable.

Being the Showboat was at the end of the boardwalk, it was not really feasible to walk to other casinos in the cold weather.

Hotel was very nice. The one thing that was not great was places to eat. Everything closed down way to early and restaurants were closed. It would have been nice if Starbucks stayed opened past 10:00pm and Auntie Annie pretzels. The staff for the most part was friendly. I would like to have seen more black jack tables opened with maybe some $5.00 tables. I am not a slot player, but did play slots and I won. Very happy to leave a winner!

We stay at the Showboat yearly for a convention and usually it is perfect for our needs, nothing fancy, but just what we need. We walked into our room this time and realized that it smelled like cigarettes, which ok, I'm a smoker and this was supposed to be a non smoking room due to my husband and brother do not smoke but it was stale cigs all the way. This didn't offend us enough to go through the trouble of changing rooms, we got over it. the next morning when we got up, I took a towel from the rack and the whole thing including some of the drywall and nails came with it and landed on my toe. I was so mad, then the hairdryer didn't work, i called the front desk at 615am and told them about both situations. they said "You should've told us, we would have switched your room", well, Showboat, how would I have noticed this late last night when we got here! They said they would send maintenance up right away, they never came, we left before they did, anyway. When we got back to the room, we did notice the new hairdryer but saw that the wall was rigged up again with the drywall and towel rack...what a joke. we just left it out of the wall. we checked out via the t.v. We will not stay there next year. Yes, because of that. It was annoying and inconvenient and it should not be that way when you pay almost $60 a night in the winter time. UGGH!

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.

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 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 already booked then read reviews about the rooms, kind of backwards, but we discovered the rooms were very clean and yes we will go back to this hotel again. It rained for the 2 days but were still able to get from one area outside to another with no difficulty. We did a personal check out at counter at 7 am and the staff was of no help at all, in fact rude. Since we billed our room and our friends all on our card, it would have been nice to make sure our card wasn't charged for both rooms, this was why we didn't do an express check out. Hopefully when our statement arrives, we can put our fears to rest.

Nice hotel and good food. At check in the service person was not that friendly and did not give clear directions on how to get to our room.
We figured it out. Room was very clean and smelled good as well. Room service was excellent, we had a roll in table and the serving sizes were well worth the money spent. We stayed on off days, Sunday through Tuesday, not much really happening during that time. Overall, I would stay here again and I would recommend this hotel as well.

My big problem with this hotel was that our room was in such bad shape. The door looked like someone had a fight with it and loss. The inside was all banged up and and scratched and burnt(just very old). Our room was next to the elevator and you heard it go up and down and make stops on all the floors banging all night(very hard to get any sleep). When asked to be moved the clerk at the front desk did not help me and would not give us any reason why,just said sorry. The casino was great and the people were very nice. The hotel had good food but we found ourselves going out of our hotel and going to others places to eat.We loved the little show that they put on several times a day on the casino floor. We love using Atlantic City.com for our reservations and will use them again but we did feel like they treated us different because we did not book our stay with them,(the casino). If you are looking for a nice pool and a way to relax this might not be for you. The pool was very small and dirty. We were looking for a beautiful view of the beach or even a partial view and all we got was a construction site which made a lot of noise.It will be very hard for me to stay at this hotel again.
