Parking is NOT included with your stay! It is $25 a night with no discounts for being a guest. So I checked in and they charged me more than Orbitz told me it was going to be. Orbitz quoted me an amount that was including the resort fee. And they overcharged me an additional $62 upon check-in. So after I got checked in and made it up to my room and got situated. We came down and there was a mob of young adults smoking, and vaping, even though the hotel was smoke free.They were at least 30 of these people screaming and acting like idiots and wild animals. It reminded me of being in the ghetto. They were a bunch of rowdy, trouble making people. And they were a constant presence through the hotel everyday that we were there. I found it extremely unsafe with these type of people running a muck and security was nonexistent with them. Than 9:30pm to 11:45pm the kids across from us started knocking and ringing our doorbell and running. So I called the front desk and was promised security would come and no one ever showed up! So I had to get dressed at midnight and walk all the way down there to even get security to come up. After security came, they did absolutely nothing. The next day I went to the front desk and was promised that a manager would give me a call. And no one ever called me. And the idiots across us started knocking and ringing our doorbell again and running. They should refund at least half of my money for the inconvenience of the idiots across from me!

Overall this is one of the best rooms in AC. However, we got a room that was not refurbished this time. The advertising did not match the in room amenities and there was not a full bed in addition to the king bed. We notified the front desk right away, but they did not seem to care nor did they offer any type of compensation or rectify the lack of sleeping space. This hotel is hit or miss with rooms and helpful staff.

Alot of the elevators took forever an were very dirty. A couple of the floors with abandoned and trash, glass broken all over an holes in walls. The whole building is veru outdated.

The Showboat has definitely built up since I was there last. Which is great. But pets should not be on same floor as non pets. Also extra air fresheners throughout so it doesn't smell like wet dog when raining. Also rooms need microwaves.

We got a standard king room for one night, no waterpark passes so I can't speak on that. The price was $286 and after fees and taxes it came to $330. The carpets and walls in the hallways seemed dingy. The room itself looked nice, apart from the only view out the window being another part of the building. As soon as we walked in the room it reeked of marijuana. I don't care if people do it, but I didn't want to get hit with the cleaning fee because at check in we were told no smoking or vaping of any kind. I called the front desk and the person wasn't necessarily rude, but seemed to be rushing me and said "okay I'll make a note of it and send someone up to spray". Which they did and it ended up smelling fine after but I still wasn't thrilled with the customer service. The bed was just a thin mattress on a metal box spring/frame deal and there was only a flat sheet on the bed. There also wasn't any toiletries included in the bathroom, which I don't know maybe isn't a requirement but I thought all hotels included them. Not here. The worst part though was the people that were yelling and running through the hallways numerous times throughout the night and every time that happened, someone's dog across the hall started barking. Then in the morning we had the lovely experience of being woken up at 7:30 to the lady next door yelling at her kids and blasting music. All in all, a pretty crappy experience would not go again unless maybe paying for a better room.

“Showboat….” More like “NoBoat.”

This place is concerned about their bottom line, not the experience. Don’t be fooled by the images of renovated rooms. The number of renovated rooms is less than 100 out of over 800. There were blood stains on the lampshades, white powdery substance on the carpet, water and mold from a leaking mini fridge that didn’t work. Gross stuff dripping down the wall, burn marks on the bedskirt, nasty stains on the chairs, mold under the window, mold on the shower ceiling. The place is a dressed up turd. No smoking policy, but I’m sure I would pop positive on a random drug test after staying here. Customer service said they would have a manager contact me regarding the condition of my room. I have yet to receive a call. It was my first time in NJ and I don’t need to come back.
