I would highly recommend. Had a pleasant stay. Only disappointment was there was no nightly entertainment which we had looked forward to. We hope to go back again during the summer which is during the season time. We possible will stay some where on the broadwalk in the middle of everything.

We chose this hotel due to it being the best rate we could find, last minute, in Atlantic City for a Saturday night. The restaurants were VERY expensive, and not that nice. The room itself was decent, but the BATHROOM was downright NASTY. there was hair on the floor, the tiles were mildewy, and musty. We didn't want to bathe there. And the size of the bathroom itself was just way too small. If you've ever stayed in Vegas, this was just a disappointment!! The sink vanity was a yellowish ugly old marble. The water pressure was terrible. The hotel door itself didn't shut closed - - it would just remain ajar unless u forced it closed. The TV cabinet door (ugly mirrored cabinet) wouldn't stay open all the way. The bedding was ok, but not crisp. I guess you get what you pay for! We had a view of the bay, and luckily no helicopters came, since the helio pad was RIGHT outside the window. Altho, on the plus side, we could see our car in the parking garage from our window.

The steakhouse had steaks for no less than $50 an entree, so we decided to eat at the Harborview restaurant. The restaurant just needed some updating, and the average age of the diners was about 75 (altho, that may be typical of AC, I don't know). Very expensive, but my husband did enjoy his primerib ($38, and very large portion size). The breakfast buffet was free and was adequate, although, again, the decor really needs an updating (picture blonde woods, peach walls, very dated).

The casino itself was ok and we did win a small amount of $$, so maybe that's all that matters in the final analysis!!!!

The staff seemed old and tired, with outfits that were so hideous (even the casino waitresses) that it was noticeably depressing!!!!

We stayed here for the price since the hotel we wanted to stay at was too expensive. The room was much nicer than expected. Very nicely decorated and very clean. Because of some confusion with booking, we received free breakfast at the buffet. It was excellent.

Trump Marina Stuck in the Eighties, August 14, 2009
Reviewer: misterkup from Aberdeen, MD


Pros: The view of the marina. If you are a boater, it is ideal.
Cons: There is nothing there, to keep you there.

When you finally navigate your way to the Trump Marina, which is arguably the hardest hotel to get to in Atlantic City, it is hardly worth the wait and stress it took to get there. In fact, when you get there your first inclination is to turn and run. When you arrive you take an escalator up to the lobby, and you are greeted with the wonderful smell of the smoking section of the slots parlor. From the outdated carpet to the cheesy red velvet ropes that you weave through like an airport ticket line, at least you are greeted by a friendly staff, albeit wearing outdated, hideous, gold uniforms.

Everything about the Trump Marina is tired, from the Hooters Restaurant to the overall decor. But one of the worst atrocities is the so-called buffet. Eating there for the free breakfast (and they should have paid me to eat there) convinced me that there was no need to go back for dinner. It was, for lack of a better term, embarrassing. The eggs were powdered, the "coffee" was deplorable, and the danishes were overbaked and out of fashion themselves.

The rooms are perfectly fine, but we found little things that ticked us off; no racks for the hand towels, or soap dishes in the shower. The coffee pot was never thoroughly cleaned, with the filter from the day before left in. They forgot to stock up our toilet paper. The water pressure was pretty lame. They only offered drinks in the vending area.

Since staying in your room is not THE most important thing in AC, you at least expect to not have to venture far from it to have a good time, or at least get a good meal at any time of the day or night. So what does the Trump Marina offer to keep you there? Not much. No poker room, no horse betting, a very small slots floor with a small selection of table games, a terrible selection of late night dining options, and it's location is isolated from the rest of AC. No big name entertainment. No razzle. No dazzle.

As soon as you get there, you want to leave. They also do a terrible job of conveying what they do have because of poor signs and a lack of information (like, where they are located)!

To add insult to injury, getting out of the self-parking garage was insane. They had exit ramps blocked off on almost every floor, and I was like a rat trying to find my way out of a maze.

With all that being said, it wasn't a total nightmare - but I would NOT recommend it, and we will never stay there again. Any money we saved in staying there we spent on taxis and Jintas to go to more appealing properties, like the Borgata and Harrah's-run casinos.

Our waiter commented to us at the buffet that things have not been the same since Ivana stopped running things, and it is clear to me that Trump operated casinos, the one we stayed at and the one's we visited, are two steps behind the competition. You feel the neglect.

The hotel was very clean, friendly staff that went overboard to help assist your needs. When you book make sure you book on-line for the best deal. We booked for two nights - received two buffet breakfasts and parking was free - you could come and go as many times as you liked at no extra cost. I would definately go back.

My husband and I truly loved this hotel. Its' marina location made it an attractive, peaceful vacation getaway. The staff was friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was excellent and all of the facilities were spotless. The newly renovated fitness center and spa was beautifully appointed. I can't wait to return and book a spa treatment. A wonderful value for the money.

When we arrived, we checked in and our room was not ready, which we were fine with but we had to return to guest services twice until they finally gave us a room that was assigned to someone else because they had not arrived at that time. We did not get our room until after 6pm, therefore messed up our dinner plans. The room was comfortable with a nice view, price wasn't that bad and the location was perfect for us to see a show at the borgata.
