The hubby and I received an offer for a "comp" room and decided to stay at Ballys for one night. We arrived in Atlantic City around 11:00 am and were immediately given a room on the 5th floor of the Dennis Tower. We were very happy that they were able to accomodate us so early in the day. Upon entering our room, the first thing I noticed was the brick wall facing our window. This made the room very dark, but nothing a few lights wouldn't fix. (Hey, you can't complain about the view when you're getting a free room.) After taking a quick look at the rest of the room, however, I immediately noticed that everything looked very dated. Other than the flat screen tv, everything was just plain old. In the bathroom, the ceilings and floors were brown in the corners from mildew and the fixtures really could have used some updating. On a good note, the room was clean, the bed was comfy and it was very quiet.
If Bally's wants to compete with the other hotels in the area, they need to undergo a huge renovation. The location (on the boardwalk is great) however, the rooms are in need of an overhaul. If you have a choice of accomodations, I would recommend staying at one of the other hotels/casinos.
