I reserved a room through Travelocity for an Ocean View Room but got a building view and safe was busted. We were late to a dinner & show reservation at the Borgata so I had no time to go back in line (40 minutes just to check in). Great place to bring kids or if you’re a big kid, not great for couples.

We stayed in a King Suite room 2502. First thing you notice is how loud the first floor is, I love that it is now a full family place with arcade, mini golf ect but the music is just so loud. I understand there is a staff shortage and its understandable but ..... Check in took a while, but it was 4:00 on a Saturday and there was 5 people at the desk. Check in went smoothly. Our room was on the top floor and it was what I was hoping for. Wine fridge, microwave, dining table, living room, big bedroom with great bathroom. Everything was fine until we needed sheets and pillow for pullout bed. At 930pm I called every department and no one picked up. Ended up going downstairs to be greeted by a staff member at the front desk in PJ pants. She gave just 2 sheets and said a person from house keeping will bring me a pillow. No one came. In the bathroom we got 1 small soap, 2 shampoos and a bodywash that didnt lather. The hot tub was nice but the plug was broken so you had to hold it in place. There was maybe 2 other guests on our floor, why did we get the room beside the elevator? Not horrible but very loud. Lastly, there was a small single serve coffee pot and coffee, just no cups. For a suite with a kichette I was surprised.

The hotel is great for families. Clean and easy to navigate. There is a lot to do for the kids and it’s a fun environment. Checkin was awful. I waited in line for almost an hour.

It’s my fault for not researching better but there is no casino here. It’s turned into a giant arcade. There were two choices for dining (breakfast was the only meals we stayed for) one was a lunch counter type place which was ok. The other was a buffet style breakfast. The buffet was nasty and used styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. The “pool” area is on the roof of the 5th floor and was pathetic. There is no staff at the pool besides the towel attendant. It is just a shallow round pool and a few chairs. I didn’t see any hotel staff besides the one person at the check-in desk. The rooms are severely dated with stained carpets and shower curtains. Half of the elevators were inoperable. Two caned beers from the bar cost almost $20. As far as safety is concerned, late at night the boardwalk gets sketchy but that’s not the hotel’s fault. For essentially the same room rates, I could have stayed a a newer hotel with more to offer. Lesson learned.

There is no longer a casino at this property. Pool was closed for maintenance. The entire 15th floor smelled of urine. The restaurants advertised at this location are “coming soon”. No information was given at check in or left in the room about hotel services or area attractions. No house keeping services were offered during our stay. Had to track down housekeeping to ask for towels & toilet paper.
