“Thin walls”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed for two nights on the 6th floor of the Orleans Tower. I am a deep sleeper and have hearing loss, I usually do not have any complaints about noise in hotels, but Showboat has thin walls that prevented me from getting a good night sleep. All night long you could hear doors slamming in the hallway, muffled voices from the hallway and other rooms, every single toilet flush from every nearby room. When the heater is off cool air seeps through the vents, which on occasion included the smell of cigarettes in our non-smoking room.

The second night I left the heater fan on constant all night, hoping the white noise would drown out some of the noise that kept us up the night before, with no such luck.

Parking is prepaid, I usually stay at Bally's or Caesar's where you pay on the way out, and since you are going there to gamble, you always get your parking comped.

Had breakfast in the Mansion Cafe, which was just average, I visit AC quite a few times a year and there are much better options than the Showboat.

“Great Superbowl Night!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This is the first time I have ever stayed overnight in AC. My husband and I went away for a overnight getaway from the kids. I got a great deal on the room and it was definitely worth the money. The only complaint I have is the shower head was low flow and it didn't reach the whole shower. Also the 24 hr buffet is not worth it unless you are a seafood eater, which we are not and my husband is allergic. I was told that the other hotels buffets had breakfast which I came to find out was not the truth. Otherwise, It was a great trip.

“Nice room and nice casino”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

person found this review helpful

On January 1, I stayed overnight at Showboat. This was my first experience for an overnight stay here. The room was nice. I didn't have any issues with check in or check out. The meal I had at the House of Blues was good, but a little pricy. I went to AC on the megabus which is an interesting way to travel. Hopefully I'll get to return soon.

“Great Weekend Away with Friends”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We spend about 4-5 weekends a year in AC and almost always stay at Showboat. They treat us well, the comps are generous and we always have a good time. Check-in was a breeze in the Diamond line. We were given a room on the 8th floor in the Bourbon Tower and were very disappointed. The floor was loud, the walls are thin and the light from corridors pours into the room. Ask for a high floor away from the elevator in the Bourbon Tower or even the Orleans Tower. We haven't stayed in the Orleans Tower in a while but I recall they are larger than and just as nice as the Bourbon Tower less the flat screen TV. We had room service for breakfast, par for the course. I would recommend ordering the night before otherwise you will wait a while. Mansion was ok, the food was nothing to brag about, but the service was good. Scardusio's is always good; service can be a bit slow if they are busy. Casa di Napoli was fantastic! The food is Italian and was very good as well as the service, much more reasonable than Scardusio's. The 12-Bar on the casino floor is a great way to spend time with friend before hitting the casino. Mike, Pete and Margo are some of the best bartenders in AC! They casino has recently added some new machines but the more popular ones always have a wait. Look forward to going down again in May!

Room Tip: Ask for a high floor away from the elevator in the Bourbon Tower. Don't get too hung up on the...

Read some bad reviews on here so I was pleasantly surprise when we got there.Check in was fast and easy. Front desk very polite. Room was nice and clean but furniture needs updating. Because I read about bed bugs I checked the room throughly but found nothing. I would definitely stay again!

Room Tip: Rooms on 17th and 18th floor are pet friendly. If your not with a pet you might want a different flo...
