I’m not at all giving this a bad review, it is a reliable hotel for the price point for sure. Some of the decor and some of the rooms are definitely dated and need some repair as you would somewhat expect. If you don’t realize this, a lot of hotels along the beaches definitely struggle with maintaining good quality Interiors. I will say that I was blown away with how big this specific room arrangement was. The room that we were in there was a big balcony a king size bed, a rather large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and a shower and a water closet, a desk area TV. It was a very big room with a chaise lounge in it. When you came out of that room, you were in a mini hallway and there was a powder room so there was two bathrooms and then in the main area, there was a massive living room area with a nice table off the side, and I’m also another little alcove off to the side and then a kitchen area, which was just fine. Through the passageway, of course was a secondary room with all the normal room things. So it was a good size room and would be excellent for a family. I decided to book it for a family member celebrating a birthday. So it was just the two of us, but it was nice to have our own space. The people there are really nice that work there. If you were looking for a casino, remember they do not have gaming tables. That being said they have an outstanding arcade and they have a go kart track and a bunch of other stuff. So it’s definitely a good economic price point.

The Showboat is a terrible property that is going bankrupt and will shut down. Carpets were duct taped, no wash cloths in the room, no hair dryer, no coffee maker and stains on the bedsheets. No a/c in main lobby areas and very poor a/c in the room. The entire hotel smelled like feet and pee. Carpets and walls were stained and dirty. Most restaurants in the hotel were closed. Crusty arcade games and cheap vending machines have replaced slot machines in this dump. We had to evacuate the property due to a fire alarm/emergency. We were hoping once everyone evacuated, it would burn to the ground so we could forget about the terrible experience. Upon returning to hotel, we watched the police escort a criminal in handcuffs out of the property. Several stabbings have been reported at this hotel in recent years. Don't waste your money on this defunct, dirty, gross, poor excuse of a hotel. Stay at the Hard Rock.

Had to pay $50 to park for a one night stay. Also had to pay an extra $20 because I checked in early. So my stay quickly doubled in price once I got there. Also the shower head in my bathroom is at my chest height. Im just over 6 ft tall so I dont understand why the head would be so low.

Ocean view room

The furniture was outdated. The carpet was stained and dirty. Housekeeping was great . Everything was expensive. There was no spa available because they were doing renovations all over. Thank God I travel with Lysol spray and wipes bug spray cause I’ve ended up in some places that the pictures look nothing like when u get there. The bathroom was the best part of the room and the ocean view. But I had no hot water my first two stays until I went down to complain. Thank god I had two adjoining rooms the other room where my sons were staying had hot water. There was suppose to be two doors covering the refrigerator but one was broken off.

You had to walk a little bit to get to shops near you. The area needs to be cleaned up. It looks a little rundown thankfully they have built two new hotels right next to the show boat to help with that.
