My "view of the bay" room on the 3rd floor showed nothing but the parking lot. The restaurant inside is convenient but not very good and is pricey for what you get. There are two small elevators to service the entire hotel, which is inconvenient. The main lobby is only accessible by stairs; for a luggage cart you need to go around the back of the hotel, near the dumpster, to find the lower lobby (which is just a back entrance). The beach chair and umbrella included with your stay is a coupon for a free rental from Bert's which is on the beach - they're only open till 5p and can be difficult to locate. Overall an OK stay, convenient location but not glamorous.

I intend to play 2-4-6 limit Hold"em. That's right. Limit Hold'em. Also offers roulette, blackjack, pai-gow, baccarat, and basic table card games. No dice or tiles, sadly. The slot machines were the usual suspects, except for Double Joker Poker. There are also 15 restaurants all inside this one casino and they offer a pub crawl to get your passport stamped! Fun. The shopping mall is kid-friendly with arcades and candy stores; but also diverse. I immediately bought a new purse. You can exit the Tropicana directly onto the ocean beach or ride a trolley to the Boardwalk. The locals were so friendly to tell me about fireworks over the ocean and where the best bars are. I would have missed it all because the Tropicana has no Concierge! Tropicana is definitely a nice place to stay.

Positives: very clean room, lots of clean, white & fluffy towels, shampoo/conditioner and small bar of shower soap was given, small fridge and small microwave were helpful, designated parking spot in front of the room door, easy check in, easy check out and nice little snacks every morning were available with assorted teas and Keurig coffee machine. The strip mall with Shop Rite and assorted restaurants were just down the road about 2 minutes drive. Things that would make it better and would make me come again: #1 a new mattress. My bed felt lumpy and if I sat on it, the other end of the mattress would bounce up. It was like a water bed or something like that. I couldn't sleep. #2 Please put light blocking curtains or shades. The morning sun shines right into the room and that was really annoying, having full sunlight coming into the room with no way to block any of it. #3 The air conditioner worked but it was extremely LOUD. At night I turned it off in an effort to sleep in a quiet atmosphere, but then it got hot and there was no fan so I had to turn the really loud AC back on. #4 This room had 2 beds in it. But only 1 chair. Please - put 2 chairs in the room. #5 Bedsheets are too small for the size and thickness of the mattress Overall, it was very clean and convenient, but due to the uncomfortable bed and full sun into my face, I cannot book this again.

It's a basic motel that you'd see in an 80s movie, but it has cable, good wifi, and comfy beds. for just the two of us, it was perfect. the owners are extremely friendly and there's free pastries under the holly tree every morning. it was nice being 10 mins from ocean city, and only about a half hour from wildwood, atlantic city and cape may; far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy any of the many beaches in the area. my only complaint is that in the morning before we left we discovered ants crawling all around the bathroom floor, but it's better than cockroaches. all in all, very good motel for the price and we would stay here again.

Bally's Atlantic City -- Good Blackjack, Bad Parking, Elevator Tried to Kill Me…read moreVisited: Friday, July 31, 2026 -- roughly 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 3/5 Bally's Atlantic City still feels like a classic gambler's casino, and I mean that as a compliment. Not a nightclub disguised as a casino. Not a luxury lifestyle palace where blackjack has been reduced to four tables next to an aromatherapy lounge. Bally's feels like a place built for people who actually came to gamble, drink and periodically question their financial judgment. The blackjack was the highlight. I found $15 tables with standard 3:2 blackjack payouts, which instantly earned my respect. No surrender, but otherwise a perfectly playable game. Better yet, most of the players actually knew what they were doing. No donk-fest. No splitting tens because Grandma appeared in a dream. No hitting a 14 against a dealer 6 because "the vibes said so." The East Coast table energy was excellent--talking, laughing, ball-busting, collective groaning and the occasional spiritual crisis when the dealer somehow manufactures a 21 out of six cards. Two dealers stood out: Russell, originally from D.C., and Stephen, a local New Jersey guy. Both were entertaining, personable and ran a good table. Good pace, good banter, no nonsense. The craps table was also fun, except apparently the dice had joined organized crime. Nobody got much of a deep run going, including yours truly. I controlled the dice twice and produced two legendary performances: Roll. Seven-out. Twice. That is not craps. That is basically a direct deposit into Bally's operating account. Upstairs there's also a cool rotating bar overlooking the casino floor, and I had a very good gin and tonic there while reflecting on my relationship with probability and poor decision-making. Now for the deductions. First: $20 parking. Twenty bucks to park so I can go inside and voluntarily hand you MORE money? That sucks. Second, and much more importantly, the elevator on the way out nearly turned my foot into an orthopedic case study. I was wearing flip-flops and stepping into the elevator behind a family that had just arrived. My right foot moved forward and, at literally the last second, the elevator suddenly jerked upward what felt like about six inches. My toe slammed into the raised edge, I tripped, and momentum plus gravity sent me forward in a full-body swan dive directly onto the poor woman standing in front of me. There was no dignity left. None. One second I'm leaving Bally's. The next I'm basically performing an involuntary Olympic diving routine into an unsuspecting tourist. Thankfully it ended up being more comical than catastrophic, and nobody appeared seriously hurt. But that elevator movement was absolutely concerning. If a lift can shift noticeably while people are boarding, that is something management needs to inspect immediately. Because today it's my toe and an embarrassing midair embrace with a stranger. Tomorrow, if something mechanical goes seriously wrong, it could be a legitimate safety and liability issue. So Bally's gets 3 stars. The gambling itself? I liked it. Good blackjack rules, competent players, fun dealers, energetic atmosphere, decent craps action and a cool rotating bar. The $20 parking irritated me. The elevator attempting to convert me into human origami cost them another star. Come for the 3:2 blackjack. Stay for the East Coast gambling energy. And apparently watch your damn feet when entering the elevator.

First off let me say that I was a Big fan of the Bally's Hotel and Casino…read more that said I did come here for over a year I was gambling at the Mohegan Sun Casino which is a much shorter ride for me. I decided to come to AC today on a Monday because the traffic wasn't bad at all. I first went to the Hard Rock Casino,which was very lively and had lot's of table games open, had a great meal and went to Bally's for old time sake. Wow very dreary and sad not many tables open at all. Not that many people there either. Hard Rock was Glitz and Glamor and Bally's was just sad... I'm saddened to say that I most likely will not be back therein the future. Unlike the Hard Rock Casino there was no fun vibes at all... and I really tried to love the place again..But sadly I can't :(

Pros: - The location of the Inn is wonderful with a less than 2 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. - The Inn provided us with parking and beach tags. - The Inn and rooms are very well maintained and clean. - We had our own private bath, TV, and refrigerator. - Restaurants are located within a 5-15 minute walk depending on what you feel like eating. - On the day of checkout, we were allowed to keep our parking spots and beach badges for the duration of the day until we left. And there are even outside showers, you could use to clean up before sadly bidding adieu to Ocean City. Cons: - For the small room we had, the rate we paid seemed steep. But given that it is peak tourist season, it seemed to be the going rate at the other smaller motels in the area as well. - They accept check or cash only and a 50% deposit by check prior to arrival. - It's been a long time since I wrote out a check for anything, but I gladly obliged and mailed the check. Unfortunately, I made the check out to "Osborne's Inn" (which would be the obvious choice) and once we arrived, I was told the check needed to be made out to Peggy Ann Osborne. I found it strange they could not cash a check made out to the Inn. In any rate, we had to hunt down a bank and withdraw the funds to cover the deposit.
