This is my go to Atlantic City hotel. Its modern, lively and clean (as clean as AC could be)! We always stay here for the pool. There is never a crowd and the jacuzzis always have the perfect temperature. Order your drinks and food from the sunroom and bring it poolside. I recommend the very berry mojito and the Mediterranean Platter. And don't forget to wear the comfy spa robes you get in the room! read more

MGM Tower - Hotels Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Not a bad hotel if you aren't staying for the full price. Was staying at the club room with the spa package. The spa was definitely very nice, and was able to enjoy the immersions's pool and jacuzzi. The immersion pool has the floor to ceiling windows, and sits on 32nd floor with very nice view of the bay. The staff at the spa was very friendly and it become very obvious after you compare the service to the hotel staff. The room itself is kinda meh, knowing that the weekend price can easily be ~400/500 a night, but the room feels so outdated. Definitely not one of the modern hotel, the room does not have internet tv, wifi is very hard to connect, and room feel less "shine" compare to the pictures online. Finally, with that price tag, and considered to be 4 stars, they charged everything. Forgot to bring my own tooth brush, and they ask you to buy the cheap toothbrush for $3 at vending machine. Does not have water bottle in rooms, and because we were celebrating at birthday and needed plate and fork for the cake, they also charged that. Finally when called the front desk, the service you received doesn't make you feel like its a 4 star hotel at all. But then, you are at Atlantic City, so you probably won't be inside the hotel room for too long. The casino at borgata is only about 2 minutes walk so overall definitely worth the upgrade from Borgata to The Water Club (checkin at Borgata was crazy~~~) Did not have the chance to explore the other 3 pools, but overall i think maybe staying on the boardwalk might be better as the price is usually cheaper, and you get access to more casino, restaurants and the beach. read more

Let's start with that I have stayed at the Borgata (see review) and other quality hotels in the past, so I know where the bang for your buck may be worth it at some times. Let's just say that "The Water Club" is not the place to waste good money! While staying at the Borgato, I have wandered to this side and thought - Hmmm - I wonder what the room are like, etc. First of all - The pricing. per night is too much - in the $350-$400 range. Now, let's talk about the room and customer services - The room was standard - two queen beds - flat screen TV and enough room for (2) people to move about without being on top of each other. The bathroom was what stood out - very nice rain shower - spa like feeling overall - but I am not spending most of my time in the bathroom (Hopefully)..LOL Customer Service - left a lot to be desired. When trying to connect with hotel staff about a concern - I contacted housekeeping - the phone rang endlessly - I hung up and called the front desk - phone continued to ring - no answer. Finally after calling back to the housekeeping number - the phone rang another 10 times and finally - it was picked up. When asked about extra blankets - was told they weren't sure how long the delivery would take - inquired why? High demand - really? Everyone wants extra blankets at the same time as my room does...But OK...roll with the punches. The thermostat in the room was not working properly - brought that to the attention of hotel staff - it wasn't addressed during my stay. Note: I was staying here to attend a show at the Borgata Event Center, so I was glad that everything was in-house, but if the convenience of having all things be in one building causes a poor experience - I will gladly pay to stay elsewhere where your concerns are addressed in a timely manner. read more

The Water Club is pretty amazing, keep in mind most hotels are like upscale retirement homes, don't get mad when the lines are super long. Also some attitudes from the older guest. I've never had a casino host but I'm actually thinking about getting one i feel as the amount of money i spend here i should right? But they still take care of me regardless. By the end of the stay my comps usually pay for the whole trip. I love the fact the hotel is away from the boardwalk, you know the closer you get down in that area is more dangerous. The Borgata always has lots of security and makes me feel safe at all times. I've actually lost tons of stuff here before and always was shipped back to me for super cheap. I love love love the pool it's super relaxing especially the indoor one it makes you feel as your in Fiji or somewhere exotic without the humidity. The Spa pool is to die for be sure to book a treatment or just get a day pass for it as it's totally worth it. Amazing restaurants and lounges also lots of good games to play if you gamble. I'm so glad the hotel is also part of MLife MGM because I'm always in Vegas and it helps so much more with the comps and tiers. Be sure to get a players card it's totally worth it here. read more

I have to say that I was highly disappointed with the Water Club. My husband booked 2 nights for my 30th birthday weekend and we had been looking forward to getting away for a relaxing weekend. When we arrived, the woman at the front desk kept mentioning the price of the room which I thought was a bit tacky, especially since the stay was a gift. The casino floor was filled with smoke, even in the non-smoking sections. I understand that it's a casino, but I felt like it could've been better ventilated so that the smoke smell doesn't hit you as soon as you walk in the room. It was so strong that we had to shower each night just to get the smoke smell off. The pool wasn't bad but definitely much better at Harrahs. Some of the tile was dingy and could really have used a cleaning. Also, they had no bar or small snacks so aside from swimming for a bit, there was no reason to stay long as we had to go get showered to grab some lunch. The buffet also wasn't that impressive. For almost $40/pp the food was just ok and there is a very small seafood section. Overall just not great for the price. The Old Homestead on the other hand was excellent and one of the best aspects of our stay which is where we went for my birthday dinner. The room however was the most disappointing. The furniture was dated and cheap, the bed was hard as a rock and covered in the most scratchy sheets imaginable, the towels were cheap and all of the soaps irritated my skin. The only nice part of the room was the view. I heard that MGM took over and made cuts on things and it definitely shows. The Water Club has such a good reputation but unfortunately you just don't get what you pay for. We will not be staying here again. read more

First day here at the Spa on the top floor in the hot tub for less than 10 minutes and a hotel employee told everyone they had to get out because the ph level of the water was not good. It is understandable that we had to get out but the way the hotel employee told us to was unacceptable and if the staff was on their game the ph level should have more closely monitored so it didn't get to that point. The next morning at around 7:30 I got a cup of coffee and wanted to sit outside and get some fresh air. I found an open door to the outside there were chairs and table so I went out,immediately a security person told me that I could not be out there. I asked where I could go outside and sit and was told to basically go out bay the parking garage.???????????? For such a high end resort not very accommodating read more

The benefit of staying at the water club is that it is a bit more secluded from the casino. The rooms are more of an intimate feel than the ones on the borgata side. The water club pools are better bc it is adults only and they have a bar at the outdoor pool. This side is closer to the poker room if you're there for the 24 hr poker. For my understanding, the borgata is the only hotel to offer 24hr poker in Atlantic city. read more

For my 300th review I wanted to write about something special, and this was the most amazing place I could think of (good thing I held off on writing this a couple of weeks ago). I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest to the opening of The Water Club and while I knew that it would be swanky and decadent and very, very cool, all of my expectations were defied. It was all that and so much more. And it's steps away from all the action at The Borgata, which makes The Water Club the best of both worlds. From the moment that you pull your car into the valet the most amazing thing happens. You're treated like a star. One of their big selling points is customer service, and they absolutely excel at that across the board. Check in was easy peasy, and when we walked into our room we actually just stood in the doorway for a moment and gawked. Amazing views, 40" flat screen tv, super soft bed and a beautiful decor...what more could a person ask for? The pools are great and you can get drink/food service while you lounge. But my favorite part was the spa. Good God - it was the most amazing experience of my life, and I'm a spa junkie, so I know what I'm talking about. First of all, it's on the 32nd floor, so there's no bad view. We were treated to the Couple's Immersion massage, and weeks later I'm still feeling the effects. Here's how it went: massage, soak in private hot tub, more massage, float in these "rejuvenating cocoons" that make you feel like you're in the womb, and then more massage. Sigh. If that doesn't make you melt, then you're obviously made of steel. Afterwards we went to the hot tub and indoor pool. And of course, every step of the way the staff was simply amazing. For a romantic night or weekend getaway, this is the only place I'd even consider. Yes, I was their guest for this night in paradise, but come hell or high water, I'm coming back. And I'm staying more than one night...driving away brought tears to my eyes. read more

Checked into Borgata for a quick non-gambling overnight stay and booked what was supposed to be a non-smoking room in the MGM Tower. The minute we walked into the room it stunk like stale cigarette smoke. Also strong smell of weed wafting through the door and in hallways. Not to mention the non-smoking floor is one floor up from smoking floor which reeked like smoke when we got off the wrong floor by mistake. Being an asmatic and allergic to smoke I spent a very uncomfortable night stuffed up and nauseous from the stink. The bed linens smelled like smoke not to mention my clothes and hair actually reeked like smoke from being in the room without stepping foot in the casino. The room was a dump. Outdated and shabby. The shower was a small handheld showerhead on a slide and not the usual rain head showers.. This was not the luxe rooms of the old Water Club. Not sure if MGM takeover is letting this place slip but it was not up to par w Borgata standards. The cleaning staff leaves a lot to be desired and they should do a better job at getting rid of the smell of old smoke and make it a more comfortable stay. I don't know if the cleaning staff doesn't do a good enough job cleaning the rooms or the smoke just permeates through the vents. I was with my young son who had to be exposed to this garbage. This is the last time I will be staying at this hotel and this is supposed to be one of the better hotels in AC. Very disappointed. The people trying to ban smoking in casinos are not wrong I would visit AC regularly if there was no smoking. You can't even enjoy yourself if you are a non-smoker. read more

Hotel room -5 great bathroom and view. Hotel - 5 the water club is much quieter than borgata. Much easier check in, valet, and getting in and out. I recommend the upgrade even for a higher cost. There is a beautiful tropical lounge called Sunroom in the lobby, great for couples before action in casino or dinner. Pool 4 (I only visited the indoor. I did not see the new outdoor Borgata pool). Water club pools are very nice and have a relaxing atmosphere, adults only. The outdoor water club pool deck is nice also. Borgata indoor pool is too small for how big the hotel is, but it is nice. Again, I didn't see the new outdoor borgata pool as it was closed. Casino floor - 4 a nice setup, very clean and busy. Dining - 5 so many choices casual and fine dining - something for everyone Other- more smoking areas than other AC casinos, it is hard to walk around to get to restaurants and avoid smoke. No smoking in water club lobby area. read more

First and foremost .. the best shower I ever had the pleasure of bathing in. I love the Borgata but the Waterclub is in a class of it's own. Whenever we have the opportunity to get upgraded, thanks to my boyfriend's gambling habits, we push for a room at the Waterclub. Beyond modern, extravagant, chic and luxuriously comfortable. The various pools are amazing, the view from the gym is insane, the Sunroom is perfect for brunch after a wild AC night. read more

MGM Tower - View from the gym - Hotels Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

The rooms here are excellent. I especially like the rain dome showerheads. I think they're really cool. The room is equipped with a 40' inch Sony television and a bed with 300-thread-count sheets. These rooms look a bit more modern than the Borgata rooms, but they're a little bit smaller. The amenities here are a bit more upgraded though. For the most part, the rooms are clean and the housekeeping service is quite good. I tend to sleep in late and I always have to call housekeeping to clean my room late in the afternoon. When I leave my room and come back later in the evening everything is always taken care of. read more

MGM Tower - King size bed! - Hotels Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

So I've probably stayed at The Water Club more than 40 times in the past 3 years so I'm an expert at navigating the hotel. The rooms are nice with flat screen TV's (unlike Borgata), a fully stocked mini bar (be careful of the senors), a great bathroom with a waterfall shower and very modern decor. The room service is delicious. I always opt for a custom omelette and hang my door tag menu before 3am so I can preorder my breakfast. Gym you have to pay an additional fee. Spa is nice to visit and usually not very busy so it's relaxing. The Sunroom is nice to visit for a lounge-y atmosphere. The pool, you have to make sure you get the wristbands from the front desk (I prefer getting it when I check-in, sometimes you get people at the front that tell you to go the pool in the morning and get them - just decline and ask from them there). If you want to get a good spot at the pool, you MUST go early. I went around 1pm one day and ended up getting a spot in the corner on the floor. And I often feel like I'm surrounded by people from the Jersey Shore. It's pretty funny because everyone that goes to that pool just wants to be seen. read more

The Water Club is a beautiful new companion hotel to the Borgata in Atlantic City. Everything looks nice and chic from the time you enter the lobby, with flower vases bolted to the wall to the mini waterfall. The rooms are ultra modern contemporary and remind me of the rooms at the MGM Grand and Foxwoods. Nice 40 inch TV that is turned on upon arrival and has your name on the screen to welcome you. The views of the marina and Atlantic ocean are amazing! Bathrooms are modern an, dark wood furniture is nice and the beds are also nice looking with contemporary colors and leather throw pillows. So why a 3 star review? Because I feel they need to improve on a number of things to accompany the great look and feel of this new hotel. That mini bar is going to cost you if you don't watch yourself! The woman at the front desk didn't just tell us about the charges that could ensue, she repeated herself and walked us through the process of how they us sensors and bla bla bla...i knew something was up an i was right. When we get to our room, the first thing i looked at was the mini bar. A box of cookies was not "in place" with the rest of the snacks, it was about one inch moved from everything else. I took pictures... Of course when we go to check out there is an additional charge of $11.95. When i ask why, the woman's quote was "well you opened a box of cookies.....well, the sensors show you touched...you didn't touch them did you....ok i'll remove the charge." Basically they will try to get any penny they can out of you, if i used the express checkout i would have been charged. Even better, the cookies were only $6.95, the other $5 charge was for "additional tax." When i asked what this tax was and why it was charged at the end of my stay, the quote was "sir, i don't have that answer for you at the moment, i can call a manager who can explain." I just walked away after i was given the receipt. Which i shouldn't have because she still charged me for the cookies! She took off the $5 "tax" and kept the mini bar charge. No thank you, i never had this petty BS happen at the Borgata and the Water Club should be ashamed of themselves. As beautiful as the place is, service like this is a total turnoff. You should definitely check this palce out but i hope you do not have to deal with what i did during your stay. Also be aware that the basic room here is smaller than a basic Borgata Room. read more

Forgot my ID and they were very nice about it. Put me in a suite. Had a great time at private party at the Water Club pool. Very friendly staff and excellent accommodations. Nothing to complain about. The newest, nicest of the AC hotel/casinos. Times are tough and everyone knows it. They're trying to do well and I think they're succeeding. Sure it's not Vegas, but it's definitely rockin' for NJ. read more

I don't see how this is better or more luxurious than the Borgata Hotel itself. The room is average size and the bathroom is similar to the one in Borgata. I don't know what type of room we got the last time we stayed at Borgata but it was much bigger than the one at Water Club, and there were more paintings and artsy design stuff in the room there. The tap in the bathroom was also dripping. It tries to exude a feel of exclusivity but I don't think it works much as there is just too much traffic from guests traipsing through from Borgata to here and back. It is so connected that I can't differentiate which side begins and ends. There is a guard outside the indoor swimming pool and you will need to show your key card or wristband to enter. The pool is quite small, nothing fancy. I just don't think it is worth the extra money to stay here unless you are also here for Immersion Spa. There is also no free Wi-Fi in the rooms. read more

I usually stay at revel and after this trip I will never come back to the water club. When I went to check in the service was awful. My husband booked the room prior to and when I arrived for my girls vacation they Harassed us when they failed to mention about the requirement of a credit card for damages. (They refused to take my husbands since he was not here ) after being chided at by the service desk work for "what between the two of you neither of you don't have a credit card" for twenty minutes and her lack of knowledge on how they would charge the card we were able to get in. Next at the bat right next to check in when I first arrived I was hollered over by the bartender as he was sure to hoot at his favorite customer. Next morning for breakfast he put in a extra order of coffee my friend changed her order and if was major attitude from then on. How was lunch you ask? Oh that was wonderful it was spent at revel. Never again will I stay here. Rude customer service the entire trip. read more

I have only stayed in AC a couple of times before and can't honestly say when check in was for those hotels so I apologize if this is the norm for the area but for me a check in of 4 pm is just a little ridiculous especially at this price (and when hoping to use the many onsite amenities). Our room was not ready until well after 4pm (despite arriving around 1) which meant we got very little opportunity to use the outdoor pool or wander around and try to experience anything else. We also did not have robes in our room, which we were honestly looking forward to after a dip in the pool. The room itself, view, and location are all great (although I do wish it was a little closer to the rest of the action in AC). I just think for a one night trip it may have not been "worth it". read more

Maintenance is subpar staff is uninformed ever since MGM took over. Also it's almost always closed for so.e ki.d of half hearted renovation

I'm a fan of the indoor pools at Water Club. They keep the pool about the warmth of a cool day in the Caribbean - aka, perfect. It makes for a smooth transition into their jetted hottubs. Tends to not be overcrowded w freeloaders, unlike the Borgata. I'm really into the Turquoise theme , added bonus. Really helps you forget you're at a casino w flashing lights and noise and annoying people just beyond the doors of the Water Club side. read more

What a nice place. First time stay here. The Room Is A Midweek Comp Room. I usually stay at the H casino when coming to AC. However I just found a new casino hotel to come visit. They haven't let me win no money yet. But I know my winnings are coming. The bathroom is amazing. Has the shower head from the ceiling. The towels are long and big. Not your typical white med size towels. I can cover my frame and wrap the towel around 1 and more than half times. And it is from my calf to chest. Huge thick towels. The his and hers robes was a good touch. Would have gotten 5 stars but they said each room had an ocean front view. But from the 9th floor there is no ocean in sight. But the city lights make for a cool photo. Overall. A comp room. Comedy show, nice meal and little gambling. And you got yourself a mid week relaxing getaway. Definitely will do it again soon. read more

I've been staying at Borgata for the last few years and I finally got to try the Water Club. I know that the rooms are newer than the Borgata rooms. It also looks like they are keeping up with their maintenance. While I was there my room was very clean, comfortable , and quiet. I had a nice high floor with a view of the marina. I got some much needed relaxation from months of work and I got to have some fun playing slots as well. I definitely loved staying here and I can't wait to come back as soon as possible. read more

I cannot believe, after all this time, it took me this long to review this place! The best hotel in AC and maybe I have been to in years. Clean, friendly and the rooms are super nice. Beds are very comfy, flat screen TV on the wall, bathroom is large with a walk in shower that fits 2 comfortably...not that I ever tried it. :-) Staff is friendly and attentive. I have not paid for a room in all the times I have stayed since I am comped every time I go. From what I hear it's expensive. It's also quiet and a indoor walkway connects you to the casino at the Borgata (my favorite casino). Their spa is unmatched in AC. Pool is big and clean. Definitely suggest staying here especially if you want to make it romantic... read more

I love The Water Club. The beautiful indoor/outdoor pool is pretty much the dealbreaker for me over why I come here versus the regular Borgata hotel. The Borgata only has an indoor pool. Pros: Customer service is great. The lobby is gorgeous. The service at the pool is fabulous; there are multiple waitresses serving drinks and bfast, lunch & dinner (until 8pm). Cons: The checkout is at 11am not noon, like the Borgata. The rooms are not any bigger or nicer so the extra $100 for the same size rooms may not be worth it unless you're interested in the outdoor pools. During the winter months, stay at the Borgata! read more

This should have been a 5 Star but I found a few problems with a hotel of this caliber. 1. There were stains from someone either spraying beer or popping champagne on my wall. 2. The TV was so slow and the remote was worn off. Despite these issues, it is still by far the best hotel in AC. The hotel is very exclusive. You avoid much of the trash floating around AC. The hotel also does not allow kids which is a huge plus. The facilities are very chic and very well designed. There are plenty of sitting areas, bars, and pools. The Spa looks amazing but I did not have the luxury of going. The hotel also hosts a row of high end shopping options. read more

While I was staying they closed all there advertised pools for a entire day for a private party. Very unfair to other guests. All I wanted to do was relax in one of there advertised pools.will never go again ! read more

DON'T GO IN THE WINTER - IT'S NOT WORTH IT. I specifically chose this hotel because of the 5 pools which are listed on the website as: "five heated pools -indoor and outdoor, each offering a distinct experience". As they are all heated and there was nowhere that said the outdoor pools are closed in the winter, I expected them all to be open. However, upon arrival, only 2 were open (1 was the exclusive spa one which cost even more money to use) and the other 3 were closed!!!! When booking the hotel in August, there was no indication that: 1) The Borgata Outdoor Pool would be closed for the winter 2) The Water Club Outdoor Pool would be closed for the winter 3) The Borgata Indoor Pool & Garden would be closed for renovations Given that all of the pools are advertised as all being heated, it is VERY reasonable for each guest to assume that all pools would be open year round. I would not have paid the price to stay at the Water Club given that more than half of the water part of the club was closed! read more

We went to the borgata for my brother in law's wedding. He was having it on the Spa floor of the water club. So naturally, we booked a suite in the water club, and holy hell were we happy with that choice. We got a 2 queen room, because a friend was bunking with us. There was more than enough space for all of us, that's for sure. The room was spacious, comfortable, with a beautiful view. The bathroom was heaven! It was a giant walk in shower with multiple shower heads and jets, and even had a water fall option for the shower head. There is a bench in the shower to just sit and relax in. A nice long counter to put all your make up, brushes, toiletries etc. They give you the usual shampoo and lotions and such, but the brand smells sooooo good. The toilet is in a separate little bathroom from the shower. I really liked that. The pool area was amazing. Its indoors, which is a huge plus. The set up was like being in the jungle almost. It has a very natural feeling. Plenty of jacuzzi space and pool chairs. You can get food and drinks pool side. There is it's own parking lot, separate from the other side of the borgata...which is pretty cool. I really recommend the water club. If you have the comps, even better. read more

In the huge disappointment that Atlantic City has become, The Water Club separates itself from the rest by providing an experience that is actually worth paying for. The hotel rooms are modern, clean and more in line with that of a hotel in Vegas. Not on the level, but in the same league at least. The casino is also newer and the clientele is a few notches up in terms of maturity and age. There are many upscale retail stores and dining options that also add to the vibe here. From Italian to steakhouses, the dining alone is reason to make this your choice in AC. Simply put, The Water Club is a place who's effort results in the kind of product that makes this place a worthy destination. Naturally, Water Club is what many would compare to the places like the Cosmo in Vegas. While I don't find it to be at that level of excellence, it's certainly the gold standard is AC. read more

I've stayed here once. I've stayed in the borgata tons of times. Pretty much a newer hipper style with different linens and flat screen tvs.....i prefer the bigger rooms and the perk of a fridge in the borgata. At the water club its a minibar fridge stocked. yeah the pools are nice, but they are too warm and the indoor one reeks of chlorine. Save yourself the money and stay in the borgata...rooms are probably only going to get cheaper once the new casino is built! read more

This might be my most favoritest hotel ever in the world! I love the colors and comfort in the room. High-Thread count sheets, leather chaise, Sony flat-screen TV's, beautiful bathrooms, Ipod dockable alarm clock.

I have been staying at Borgata for quite a few years now and found it the best place to stay in AC . My last room was a Comp room at the water club. I am sorry to say that there rooms at the water club are looking worn. The regular rooms are looking better at this point. I noticed the water club rooms are not as clean as they were. I always check the bed before sleeping and am finding them having areas were they are dirty and not been cleaned on the end tables and bed frames . Crumbs, dust and dirt in draws and the rugs are not as clean as they could be . read more

I love how they have private outdoor pools only for Water Club guests. I love how the Water Club also isn't a trek from the Borgata main area, unlike the MGM Signature in Vegas. I believe the shower at the borgata is slightly bigger, but overall i think the bathroom of the Water Club is bigger than the Borgata. I also appreciate how the water club valet is only $5 for Borgata reward members. THe Room Service food quality is top notch. Probably one of the best room service foods that i have tried. Okay i haven't tried many, but this place is def the best so far. I also love the service here. When we asked for extra towels, they were very prompt about it. In addition, the concierge would call a few minutes later to confirm that we have received the extra towels..How awesome! I didn't feel neglected at all here. I just wish the gym was complimentary as well as the WiFi. read more

I love The Water Club! I know that since it's newer, it's going to be cleaner and nicer than Borgata, but if I had the choice, I'd definitely stay at The Water Club. The lobby is beautiful - loved all the decor and the nice couch area near the front desk. The pool is right near the elevators (even if it is almost impossible to get a lawn chair on a nice day if you're not there to reserve one at 8am) and it's only a short walk through the shops to get to the Borgata casino. The room was great and they provide bathrobes for you to lounge in! Lovely :) I also loved the shower. It had the waterfall on top plus the detachable shower head to add some extra pressure. Everything went great when I stayed there and I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Very nice, spacious rooms. Now that Revel is gone, this is my first choice in AC. Only odd thing is that drawers are located in the bathroom space, not near the beds. The pool area is on the small side and a bit cramped and on a nice sunny weekend, you might not get a chaise lounge. Of course, there are those who hoard chairs by putting their towels on a chair for their all day reservation ;( The lounge boys are supposed to watch and free up chairs, but I think they hesitate to do so, so not to offend anyone. There's two pools and a nice dripping waterfall to cool off. Also free self serve ice and water and of course, bar and waitress service with a nice lunch menu. Depending on where you camp out, if its near the speakers, the music can get pretty loud. The only con besides being on the small side for such a big hotel and the cramped space is that there is not enough umbrellas for shade on a very sunny day. Guests come first thing in morning to reserve those prime spots and tend to hang out ALL DAY. Oh, and there is the indoor pool that's lined with trees and chaise lounges. Its pretty but I'm not a fan, cause there's a hot tub in there and the chlorine smell pervades the whole area. p.s for those of you who are not familiar with Borgata, it is not on the boardwalk like Revel, which I liked cause you weren't trapped there. At the Borgata, you really have no other place to go without getting into your car. p.p.s . The Water Club pools are ADULTS only! I like that. The pool at the Borgata Hotel, another indoor pool is kid friendly. The Water Club guests are welcome to use the pool at Borgata too, but be warned, it can get loud. read more

This is the only place to stay in my opinion. Unless you are only going to AC to gamble, I guess who cares where you stay. but for the comfort, pool, food, atmosphere, this is the place to be for the summer this pool is amazing and hot tub very relaxing here worth the pennies it cost. read more

The aesthetic is minimalist and the layout - how to get, for instance, from my suite in the Water Club (see the amazing view in the pix I posted) to the new outdoor pool in the Borgata - is ridiculous. There may very well be an easier way to get to the new pool but walking down in my bathing suit and tank top (it had a lil skirt - I forgot my cover-up) according to the directions I got from various employees on my journey through the valet stand, up around the surface parking lot and main entrance was a bit embarrassing. As was being by myself while my friend played poker inside. People wise, there are two distinctive groups: gorgeous 20somethings with perfect bodies, nails, teeth, tans, brows, highlights, etc. and couples between 50 - 70 years of age. The pool at the Water Club (see photo from my room), although not situated for late afternoon sun worshipping, was more my speed in that the atmosphere was less like an afternoon at a nightclub and more like lounging with adults poolside. Let's put it this way: I was at the Water Club and Borgata in June, it's now September, and I still vividly recall how much like a kid in a cafeteria with nowhere to sit I felt as I walked by myself around the whole circumference of Borgata's new pool looking for a chair. Of course, I would have been spared this walk had the staff been a bit more coordinated/communicative about the towels on chairs sitch. I assumed because I was handed a towel when I walked in that chairs with towels on them were taken but apparently they are left by people and are not cleared for a good amount of time (as in approx. 150 people had left their sweaty towels behind and no one had come around to pick them up. AND it may or may not be the case that towels are also placed on chairs by staff. So a "take any chair you like. If there's nothing but a towel there I always assume it's free" from the staff would have saved myself, as well as others I observed (although they had strength in numbers lol) from circling. We stayed in the IForgetTheName Tower in a suite which consisted of a king sized bed, a lovely table and chairs, a writing desk with chair, and an area with a nice long counter and mirror with a round pull-out 10x mirror attached, as well as a hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial soap, moisturizer, and, my favorite thing to collect from hotels (because you cannot get them anywhere else and no i'm not 80 i'm in my 30s, thanks) besides the pens and paper (yup, they had those two - but not at the vanity): shower caps. The bathroom was spacious with a shower I was initially impressed with but feel could have been made a bit more... sexy and the toilet was in it's own little room off to the right with a locking door. The shower was one of those double sprayers at perpendicular angles to each other. The water pressure was eh, and I was disappointed where wasn't a place to sit and shave my legs (or ???) or water for 2, since 1. there was certainly enough space for 4 or 5 and 2. it is called an upgraded suite at The Water Club. I loved the towels, the robes were amazing. I may or may not have a complete set of water club towels in my closet right now (a complete set being 4 or 5 different sizes and colors, all with the waves motif on them) from huge fluffy towel to smaller than a face cloth towel. Sorry, Water Club but I needed a consolation prize after living in my like-I'm-naked-I'm-so-comfy robe for 3 days and not having the hundreds of dollars to spend on it to take it (wear it) home with me. Best part of the room besides the ability to put the AC down to 51° and not have to worry about the bill: The View!!! I have included pix of this as well. Buffet at Borgata was comped but if I had known how gross the main course foods were going to be, I wouldn't have gone. In sharp contrast, the Buffet's deserts were amazing - esp. The chocolate covered pretzels and crème brulé. Another frustrating part about the buffet was that there was a line for us Pearl card holders and even though there were 10 people in front of me instead of the 50 there would have been otherwise, the people in the regular line who arrived at the same time as us got seated first. I wish I had known at the time about the Borgata's upscale food court-style (with a small organic and overpriced but not outrageously so as they could have taken much more advantage of the lack of ease of movement between establishments on the Marina) place downstairs. I think they would benefit from a Services book in the room that not only has small maps of the Water Club and Borgata (they are connected indoors), a list of all available options in both hotels for dining, shopping, amenities, nightlife, free Jitney service/timetable, etc. would have made life easier and given them more of my money. read more

If The Water Club is the best Atlantic City has to offer, I really don't ever want to wrap my head around imagining the worst. The entire place, our room with a view included, looks used! Nice bathroom but the room itself? Uninviting and dated. Breakfast in The Sun Room?! Zakarian " phoned it in!" Restaurant Angeline? Only if you are a meat eater! It's just "not there!" Everything falls short, service, hours of operation, customer care, a Big Hoo Humm! We would stay in Philadelphia at any city hotel and do better than this. At least, maybe, the front desk may answer the phone! Stay in town! Avoid the Expressway! Granted, this is a captive audience given the casinos and entertainment but why should we be made to feel like true captives!??? read more
