Bally's Atlantic City

Outstanding Hotel

I loved it.

You'll be Gambling at the Claridge

We stayed in the Claridge Tower at Bally's, which was OK (at best) for the lodging fee we paid. There was a basketball sized white stain on the carpet and some sort of stain on one of the chairs in the room. The bathroom was out of date. It seemed to have a mild smoky-musky scent (non-smoking room). The bed was nice and any traveler knows that is the most important thing and we only planned to be in the room to sleep. The real kicker was that I booked (and PAID for) two (2) "identical" rooms for the same price (all on one bill from Hotels.com). Our second party arrived a few hours after we did and the room they recieved was in a seperate tower and was essentially a "junior suite" in the Bally's tower; it was 50% bigger, with a fridge (we were suppossed to have one - we didn't), a beautiful view and everything was nicer (the chairs, the lamps, the air and especially the batheroom). I was furious with envy. Oh well. We had a good time anyway.

Needs Improvement

Bally's AC gave us a room at the Claridge hotel. The hotel was old needs a lot of renovation. Bathtub clogged when we took a shower and the bathroom itself has this distinct smell to it.

location, location, location

The best thing about it is that it's in the middle of Everything. The bed was super comfy.

Needs cordial staff

They mixed up my hotel room with my brothers and proceeded to act like we did something wrong. Extremely rude.

Exactly what I expected.

Hotel workers were friendly and helpful. I loved the hotel room. It was very clean and comfortable. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Eating Accomodations at Bally's

DO NOT EAT AT BALLY'S. If you're not a silver rewards member or higher you will have to wait in line 30 to 60 minutes to be seated. EAT AT JOHNNY ROCKET'S. It is located in Bally's and the food and atmosphere is great. Oh one more thing, the price for food is very affordable. MY FAMILY OF EIGHT LOVE IT THERE.

Not AS bad as everyone said

Read reviews before we picked and stayed - it's not as dingy or scary or dirty as they said. My biggest complaint is the lack of signage and help. The 6th floor has lots of restaurants - well - its NOT attached to Claridge tower and if you try and hit '6th floor' on the elevator it just doesn't work. No way to know this unless you ask the less than helpful 'guest services'. We did eventually find it. We also asked how to get to the Aces train - they couldn't provide us with solid directions or even a helpful map! Like we are the ONLY ones using the Aces train?? Plus - express check-out - no need to wait in line.
