My fiance and I stayed here with a Living Social coupon for 1 night. I could feel the 80's as soon as I walked in. The long checkout line was terrible. Only 1 person checking people in. Room was okay, good ocean view. Def outdated and no cell phone service. Luckily, they had a wall phone in the bathroom. LOL, seriously, they can remove those now. The shower was nasty and there was a hole in the wall for the vent that my fiance checked to make sure there wasn't a camera in there. The casino itself was crappy, so we walked to Tropicana and Ceasers instead. We had a $10 comp for a restaurant that was never open so we didn't get to use it. We did eat at Evo and the bartender was super nice and the food wasn't bad. She poured a heavy drink too. After getting back to the room at 7am, the cards didn't work to use the hotel and the room key. After trying about 15 times, it finally worked and we got 3 hours sleep. When we went to checkout and get our car from Valet (only $5 though), the cashier didn't have change and I had to ask several other workers for change, finally getting it from the front desk. Overall, the hotel needs major updating, but if you are just there to gamble and sleep for a few hours, it's not bad.

This was undoubtedly one of the worst hotel experiences we've ever had. (Please note the following is exclusive of the effects of hurricane Sandy.)

The hotel is dirty, ugly, falling apart, unmaintained, and downright seedy (like most of Atlantic City). Our first room had no power. The second had a barely working toilet and a bed with unchanged linens. Yuck.

It was hard to tell who hated the place more- the current employees or the guests. The employees made no secret of their feelings toward the hotel management.

I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. The Trump really is a dump.

We have stayed at the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City approximately 10 times and have been extremely pleased everytime. The staff is very friendly in all locations within the hotel and the casino. The dining areas are very good and again the staff is great. The rooms are neat and always very clean. The only complaint I would have is you have to pay for wi-fi.

We stayed at this hotel because of a Living Social deal. A few months ago we stayed at the Taj Mahal. It was recently renovated and beautiful. Everything was fresh looking. That was not the case at the Trump Plaza.
We walked into our room and it was worn out looking. The carpet and walls looked dingy. Everything was clean, but definitely needs to be updated. The lobby looks like no one has updated since the 1980s.
We visited the weekend of Hurricane Sandy and everyone had to check out of the hotel by 11 on Sunday. My husband and I left around 7:30 to beat traffic and there was only 1 person doing check out. You cannot efficiently evacuate a hotel with 1 person checking guests out.
Trump should be ashamed to have his name attached to this hotel!
