Timeshare swap. Quite a disappointment compared to our own resort. Staff was friendly and accomodating, no problems there. Unit in need of decorating. Sofa uncomfortable and bed was very hard and only a Queen. Otherwise unit was ok. Oceanview nice and also window seats. Weather was windy, cold, rainy most of the week. Atlantic City is high crime area. There were shootings in some part of the city day before we arrived. Polic chief on TV said they could not solve crimes without help from residents. Next day a body was discovered on the beach at Caesar's pier. Many police cars and bikes on Boardwalk. The hotel has doors on the Boardwalk but they lock after 9pm and you have to go down the side street and enter the main door. We looked down the side street and saw 6-8 men milling about. Scary. My companion was in a mobility scooter and we did not know what to do. Finally decided to go down and it turned out they were undercover cops questioning some men. Scary. All in all not a comfortable week due to the crime situation. The hotel needs to keep Boardwalk doors open later than 9pm and have security at the doors in addition to lobby. Problems were mostly due to the crime situation, not the hotel. Staff and security were extremely helpful and friendly. Not much has changed in Atlantic City since our previous visit almost 20 years ago. We will not be going back there in the future. Hello, Las Vegas.

We stayed at the Atlantic Palace on a Saturday night in early March. All of the casinos were priced at $350 or more and the econo lodge was about $150. We booked at Atlantic Palace for $179 which was a chunk of change. Check in was quick, after we got our parking pass and parked, but when we got to our room, it seemed occupied, tv was on, trash, smelled like smoke. We went down to the front desk and they quickly took care of use, upgrading us to a ocean view suite. The view was as nice as an AC view gets. We would stay again, for the price. It was a bit too chilly to walk far to casinos, but Resorts is close and wants you are there, you can walk through Taj and Showboat, without going outside. Bed wasn't the best and the kitchenette was tiny. Working fridge, though loud, was a bit annoying. We have stayed in a few different casinos, all much better, but again, to save $200 just to sleep, was fine.

Not much positive to say about this property. Used to be old condo building converted to a hotel, tiny parking lot has no elevator so be prepared for a walk down the stairs.
Rooms are in horrible shape, ripped carpets, dusty mattress, bathroom with an unpleasant musk, most uncomfortable bed, by the appearance we were afraid room may have bedbugs but we survived and ran in the morning. And in addition low lighting to cover it all up. But renovation sign in the room was priceless, "Pardon Our Appearance", not sure how that helps. Look at the photo, awesome TV set too.
Would not rate this hotel with more than 2-3 stars tops.
Location is ideal, right on the strip, 10 Boardwalk minute walk to Resorts and Taj, so is to Caesars''. Well, right outside there are two strip clubs, it may get rowdy but skinny receptionist and video cameras make you feel secure.
Bottom line - pay few dollars extra, stay elsewhere.

We stayed at the Atlantic Palace for the St. Patrick's Day Weekend. This is a fine hotel with a convenient location. Our room was on the 21st floor and never had to wait for an elevator. The hotel is located right off of the boardwalk and just steps away from the Irish Pub. It is also a short walk from the casinos. The rooms are large and equipped with a mini kitchen which is a nice feature. There is a 7-11 convenience store located about 1 1/2 blocks away. We will be staying here again in the future.

My wife and I booked a week at this resort to attend the Classic Car auction. We drove down to AC and when we turned on to New York Ave to head towards the time share, at approx 9:30 PM on friday night we noticed about 7 police cars parked all around the entrance to the hotel. I was worried and asked the doorman what was wrong. He told me there was some trouble across the street at Club Deja Vu. He also stated at least the cops showed up. Not a good sign. We checked in and found ourselves on the 19th floor in a pretty good sized 2 bedroom unit, unfortunately these people don't know what a queen size bed is. Both bedroom had full size beds. The pull out couch was bigger!!Anyway, later that evening we went to bed in the master bedroom which unfortunately was on the same side of the street as the Club. You would have thought we were on the ground floor with all the noise we could hear from the club. About 4:00 AM I was woken up by 5 gun shots coming from the street below. I looked out the window and saw dozens of people pouring onto the street from the Club like it was on fire. A few minutes later about 14 police cars came screaming up with lights and sirens blaring. Hey, at least they showed up, as the doorman said. They had the whole road near the hotel closed off and were trying to figure out what was going on. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep that first night. The next day the staff seemed oblivious to the shooting the night before. Business as usual. We were also disappointed that there was no restaurant as stated in the info provided. Also, the parking deck was way too small and people were taking up more than one spot for their cars. When I told security they said there was nothing they could do. Our phone did ring a few times while we were there and we ignored it for fear it was time share sales people. The good thing was after the Friday night meley, the club was closed on Saturday and Sunday. Overall I would say the time we spent there was very stressful and we will not be back.
