“Showboat Hotel Atlantic City centers on family-focused entertainment, notably the East Coast's largest arcade. I see value in its direct beach access and multiple dining options suiting varied tastes.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. The location is definitely a highlight, being close to the beach and other attractions. However, I encountered some serious issues in my room, including a lack of hot water and the unsettling discovery of bedbugs. While the staff did their best to assist, the overall experience was not ideal, especially given the price I paid.
Rooms

The room was a major letdown; there was no hot water, and unfortunately, I found bedbugs, which made my stay uncomfortable. The view was blocked by a wall, which was disappointing.

The service was decent. I had hoped to see some familiar faces at check-in, but the staff did their best to help despite being busy with other guests.
Location
