Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel

“Family vacation”

Clean, friendly, and pretty historically cool. Close to all beach and boardwalk and an outlet right around the corner.

“Okay for most with realistic expectations...”

Hotel's location is very close to the Outlets (10 minute walk) and a little further (20-25 minute walk) to the boardwalk and casinos. Though I wish there was a way to exit the hotel directly into the Outlet area...that would shave off about 5-7 minutes from the Outlets and Boardwalk walks. Instea... more

Hotel's location is very close to the Outlets (10 minute walk) and a little further (20-25 minute walk) to the boardwalk and casinos. Though I wish there was a way to exit the hotel directly into the Outlet area...that would shave off about 5-7 minutes from the Outlets and Boardwalk walks. Instead you have to exit facing the convention center and walk all the way around...very impractical. Parking is off site at the convention center across the street. Upon check-in, you will be given a new parking ticket you can use for the duration of your stay which grants you in-out privileges at a rate of $20 per day, charges via the hotel. There is gift/snack shop on site as well as a Tavern/Brewery, both on the main floor. No pool, but the fitness center (accessible from the main floor next to the elevator bank) was large with lots of equipment and space. Water and towels available there as well. The hotel also has some cool decor, mostly related the Miss America pageants they are known for. The room was okay...had all of the helpful amenities: mini fridge, microwave, large TV with lots of channels, iron, ironing board, lots of outlets with USB ports. Some issues we noticed were...the beds were lumpy and not very well-made upon arrival, the "white" bed skirts were stained, the toilet kept running as you had to manually left the lever in the up position for it to stop and the bathtub did NOT properly drain so you ended up standing in about 2-3 inches of your own bathwater throughout the duration of your shower. Now for reference, many of the casino-hotels in Atlantic city opened in the early-mid 80's...having stayed at many of them, they all show their age, except for some of the portions (i.e. towers) which have been renovated and generally cost more to stay in. Although the Sheraton was built a bit later in 1997, it, like many of the others, shows it age. The rooms and hallways are older...which is something you will have to keep in mind. Overall the stay was okay. I think it would be adequate for most who are not picky and don't mind being a bit away from the boardwalk. All staff we encountered were nice...particularly the guys at the door.

“New Year's Eve Dissappointment”

We stayed for NYE weekend and understood that, as such, we would pay more than typical for the night. But as someone who has frequented this hotel many times over the years, I was beyond pissed and disappointed in the quality of the Pure Club King suite.

We stayed for NYE weekend and understood that, as such, we would pay more than typical for the night. But as someone who has frequented this hotel many times over the years, I was beyond pissed and disappointed in the quality of the Pure Club King suite. We paid $344 and $444 for Dec. 30 and Dec. 31st, respectively. The room lights were dim, and the overhead lights were non-existent. The bulbs in the lamps were dirty or blown out. We had to call maintenance to change the bulbs because it was so dark in the room at night that it was impossible to see. The bathroom for a "suite" was not only below standard in quality—my bathroom at home was in better condition. The only thing we enjoyed about the room was its spaciousness; it was a corner suite with lovely views on two sides. The hotel location and the excellent customer service cannot be beaten. However, the hotel needs to shut down and renovate all the rooms. It's unacceptable for this hotel brand to continue to charge anything above $220 a night for poorly kept, old rooms. Do not pay for the suite or any other upgraded room; you will be disappointed.
