Axel's take: 8.0/10
A strong Boardwalk base if you value convenience over modern polish. An older, mid-range casino hotel on the Boardwalk, scored for what it is.
Resorts is an older, mid-range casino hotel whose strongest selling point is its Boardwalk-and-beach location. It's a strong pick for a straightforward Atlantic City getaway rather than a luxury retreat. Recent Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff, while Tripadvisor reviews also highlight room comfort and the year-round pool. Restaurants, bars and gaming make it easy to spend much of your trip on-site.
The trade-off is age: dated decor and occasional maintenance complaints temper the otherwise positive picture. Smoking is permitted in parts of the casino, so this isn't a smoke-free property. Budget for mandatory resort charges and paid parking. Resorts announced Ocean Tower façade restoration and cooling-tower replacement in January 2026; confirm whether work will affect your stay. We'd skip it if fresh interiors or a reliably smoke-free environment matter most.
