Request the Bourbon Tower which is totally renovated. I am told the other part of the hotel needs some updating. The amenities are great and the location is perfect. Easy access to the Taj Mahal and Resorts. The bars ad restaurants are priced well and the food was good. I do not gamble much so I cannot help with that part of the review. I have been to the Foundation Room which is a great place to have an intimate dinning experience with someone. The hotel is always clean and the staff is very accomodating.

Overall the hotel was nice but it was little things I didn't care for. Like I said, on tuesday of my stay after I came back to my room to lay down, I was in the bathroom and noticed there was a long piece of hair in the towel, this was a brand new towel!!!! The bed was very comfortable though for the little time i did sleep.

Clean, Excellent Staff, Room was Wonderful

Poor ventilation, poor water pressure, beach could use cleaning daily - dead crabs made it smelly.

I shopped around for different prices. The only problem with this site was that the price fluctuated daily!!!! I ended up paying way more my Tuesday Night then it was listed a few days before! ($83 more). We stayed three nights.We were in the New Orleans Tower. It was beautiful, clean and well kept and laid out nicely. Check in was quick, we were early and our room was ready. Valet was quick on the way in/out with baggage claim holding our stuff for a few hours after check out. We took advantage of the shuttle to other Harrah properties a few times. Cons: They need a better ventilation system as the smoking overtook the whole casino and you couldn't escape it, water pressure was really low, and they should clean the beach daily as it was really stinky with dead crabs and shells. Guest Services closed early along with many restaurants not open early week - the boardwalk had plenty of options. They do need more of a sit down family oriented place for breakfast open EVERY day!My husband accidently left his insulin in the fridge in the room after we left and didn't notice until we were at home. I had a hard time getting Security Lost and Found to answer their phone or return calls (their voice mail said they would return my call within 48 hours who can wait that long if they lost something valuable?) I finally had the switchboard page a manager. Housekeeping found it and took it to Lost and Found and it was kept cold. Kudos to Andy Deangelo (sp) Security Manager who not only located the bag but took it to the mail room to overnight back to me. He returned my call twice to follow up. Kudos to Mike in the Mailroom for calling me immediately with my tracking number. What wonderful staff who went out of their way for me! They helped make a horrible situation much better. I would recommend Showboat to anybody and would return again!

We enjoyed the location on the boardwalk close to other casinos. The casino itself had great variety. Their daily free shows were exciting. The amenities provided while staying there were sub-optimal. We were not given the room we asked for because it was unavailable when we checked in. The sheets were stained and the bed was one of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever had at a hotel, even compared to chain hotels like the holiday inn and hampton inn. We ate dinner at the house of blues restaurant and were not at all impressed by the service or the meal. All together we had a nice stay there but we're glad it was only for one night.

We went for a family vacation with a teenager. Nothing for the teen to do. Had to go Taj for the arcade. Swimming pool too shallow and overflowing with young children. I Location is at end of boardwalk, didn't realize it was so far from everything else. Next time will stay at a casino that is more cenerally located. If going as a couple ,it is great. going as a family not so great . The only thing I really wanted was an ocean view(it was my 25th anniversary) and the view I got was of a construction site

For the most part this was a great place to stay. My family has made almost a yearly family vacation of Atlantic city. This was one of the better hotels we have stayed in. The biggest draw back is probably the distance to the self park to hotel rooms and from hotel rooms to the Boardwalk. if you want an affordable hotel room you have to settle for the orleans tower (which is very nice!) but you have to walk through the casino in order to get to the beach or boardwalk. It is also the last casino on the boardwalk so if you have kids they are going to be tired before you make it to the shops, restaurants or other attractions. If all you want to do is eat and gamble then this is definitely the place to be. For us, beach access was most important and it fit the bill for the price. Our next stay will probably more to the middle of the Boardwalk, but we would come back again.

The hotel was clean and the staff was very nice. We went for a relaxing vacation after my boyfriend had a lot of health problems. There was not a lot of beach to relax on during the day, but the nightlife was fun.

I stayed on a Wednesday night and it was a very good pricing deal. The room was clean and was well worth the $$ spent for the night. We gambled at Showboat due to the convenience of the room being right there, but went to Harrah's at night for the nightlife. Overall, it's location on the boardwalk is a plus and I would recommend staying for this fact.
