Hotels near Absecon Lighthouse, Atlantic City

On the surface, Golden Nugget is a solid choice. Rooms are nicely sized, pool area is great, tons of restaurants and generally a good vibe. However, service is severely lacking. The front desk is a complete disaster. I had added an extra night last minute for the two rooms I had reserved, and it was booked as a separate reservation. I called ahead and was assured it wasn't an issue. When I arrived, the agents were extremely pleasant and also told us there was no issue and we were good to go. Come to find out when I was in the middle of working the next day with my do not disturb sign on, this wasn't the case. Housekeeping barged in and said I was supposed to check out. Funny enough, they never came back the next two days to clean the room. I called the front desk and got a completely rude and different tune than the night before. They had me booked in an entirely different room. They managed to fix that, but myself and my travel companions had to go back down to recheck in and get new keys. They had to leave the pool and I had to stop working while I was trying to wrap up so I could enjoy my vacation, to go fix this error. Had this been communicated at check in, I would have handled it first thing in the morning. Sean at the front desk was, at least, apologetic and gave us a few drink vouchers. I would have been happy if everything was resolved. I thought we were done with the problems at this point, but it didn't stop there. The next day when we went to the pool, my friend who went with me to check back in, wasn't on her room so they wouldn't let her in, even though I witnessed her give her name. We had to leave and go down to the desk to get her added. I then find out that my room was blocked from room charges when I tried to order drinks at the pool, even though they had run my card, and I have the $100 hold on my amex to prove it. A little while later, my husband complained to the front desk when he couldn't charge a few coffees, they assured him he shouldn't have this problem and it was fixed. He went back down, and the workers had to call the front desk to confirm, and they said he was authorized (and it was on my bill). Later on, I called for room service and ran into the same issue. I called the front desk to complain and they told me my card was declined (it wasn't) and I needed to come down to run the card at 11 pm, yet again. I told them I had cash, and I was simply letting them know how many issues I had. They said they were sorry, but it was somehow my fault that the card wasn't run. I've never checked into a hotel where my card wasn't in file. They don't even let you check in without a hold. To wrap up the experience, when I addressed the issue with the woman checking me out since I didn't know how I could have charges since I was blocked from adding any to my room, she saw there was a credit card listed that wasn't mine. I gave her my card to show her it didn't match, and to settle the bill. She brought out the hotel

It was a nice stay. Overall good experience and would recommend it. Its an old hotel but you won’t have any problems. Hotel is located near the shopping outlets and restaurants.

The sea view room has a view of the sea. The hotel is owned by a Japanese internet celebrity restaurant in New York. The ingredients are high-end and simple, and there are marble bathrooms. There are also disposable slippers in the room, which is available in high-end hotels. The coffee inside is made with very good coffee beans, and there are two Japanese chocolates, which are LAX brand. Check-in is in a specific room, and tea is also available.

My employer prepaid for my trip and I received the confirmation email from the hotel. I had a 4pm check in time. I arrived at 5:45pmand the check in line was huge, but hey cool they have check-in kiosks. I enter my info and all looks good. I get. A message pops up that says my rooms not ready yet and to leave an email and I'd be notified when it's ready. I dropped off my luggage in a friend's room since I was there for business and had a meeting. Around 9:30 I went back to check the kiosk since I never got an email and after 30 mins in line they told me the kiosks are too dumb to reassign rooms. He proceeds to ask for my credit card (typical at hotels to guarantee you don't have any extra incidentals charged to the room) and I leave to my room finally at 10pm. I get to a room that reeled of ****, there were ashes on the bed spread and a wash cloth by the room door on the floor. The carpet was dirty and I found clumps of hair on the bathroom floor. Really nice. I then find out they charged me for the room even though it was prepaid by my employer. They charged over 50 people in my group even though the state prepaid it. After 3 days it's still not fixed even though a manager said they were taking care of it. During my visit they never came to freshen the sheets/towels. Even after I complained to the front desk about how dirty the room was. I was told come to front desk and they'd switch room but that also meant carrying my stuff back downstairs and waiting in line. At that rate I was charged for a room for a day for a shopping 2 hours of access to a dirty room. I feel like that day should have been comped. I will never stay there again. UPDATE: They finally refunded the room charges to my bank on Thursday after thie was being addressed in Monday.

Well even though i always request a ocean front room or atleast ocean view i never really get that. This time was even worse the view of the parking lot where there were people doing donuts & revving the engines extra loud taking videos or something at like 3am…. i swear the gentleman checking us in purposely gives you crappy views especially when I’m right in front of him asking for a nice room we’re here celebrating & clearly they don’t care. He’s checked me in before & also gave me a room with no view… The rooms are mediocre at best the hallways are musty & smell like cigarettes. Make sure you bring your allergy meds the amount of dust on the ceiling from the air/heat vent will def set you off!! We clearly stay there for the restaurants & atmosphere Other then that enjoy!!

We loved our stay. The staff was kind and courteous. Great locations to restaurant's and downtown. The beach is only a short walk. We will return again!

We booked in this hotel July 22, 2022 for an overnight stay with four couple who are very good friends. From check in to check out the service was great. We asked for more towels and it was very soon delivered. The rooms were clean, a/c was cold, shower was strong, breakfast was very good with good selection of food ( never ran out of eggs or sausages, cereal etc., the person in charge was always on the look out for food that was running low and immediately filled it up. My kudos to Mar ( Magellan as she was so courteous, personable, friendly and very service oriented woman. Every time I asked her for a simple question no matter what she was doing she’d answer me in a friendly manner. I would book here again if I were to return to AC.
