The hype
Travelers love the 'boutique' quietness and separate entrance, but many feel the housekeeping doesn't match the 'luxury' branding.
Mgm Tower At Borgata
$109-274/ nacht
Boek dit als You want the Borgata's upscale dining and gaming but demand a sleep sanctuary far removed from the casino floor smoke and chaos.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Adults-only indoor/outdoor pools (21+) that actually feel like a retreat
- Dedicated 'hotel-within-a-hotel' lobby that skips the main casino madness
- Renovated 'coastal' rooms (2023) that feel significantly brighter and more modern than the main tower
Snel Overzicht: It's the best non-gaming hotel in Atlantic City, provided you check your shower grout for mold before unpacking.
Beoordeeld door @amandasparkles: I stayed in the renovated MGM Tower and it’s a total vibe shift from the usual AC rooms. The bathroom is massive, the bed is super plush, and that night view of the city? Absolutely worth booking this specific tower for.

Reality check
The 'Stay Well' rooms are worth it for the air purifier alone if you're sensitive to the casino smoke that inevitably drifts in from the connector.
- You hate walking through a smoky casino to get to your elevator
- You prioritize a high-end pool scene over beach access
- You want easy access to Old Homestead and B-Prime without sleeping above them
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though dust on high surfaces and baseboards is a common miss.
- Bathroom hygiene: The biggest weak point. Multiple recent reports of black mold in shower caulk and hair left in sinks.
- Maintenance: Fresh from a 2023 renovation, so paint and furniture are in great shape. AC units are powerful but can be loud.
- Linens & towels: Towels are thick and plentiful. Bedding is crisp, white, and typically stain-free.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of a signature 'white tea' scent; rooms are generally fresh, though smoke can drift in from the hallway.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the pool really adults-only?
Officially yes (21+), but enforcement can be spotty on busy weekends. It's still miles quieter than the main Borgata pool.
Can I walk to the boardwalk?
No. It's a 2-mile drive through highway traffic. You need a car, Uber, or Jitney.
Is there a casino in the MGM Tower?
No. It is a non-gaming tower connected to the main Borgata casino by a retail walkway.
How much is the resort fee?
Expect to pay ~$34.09 per night, plus a tourism fee and occupancy fee, totaling over $40/night in taxes/fees.
Does the room have a fridge?
Yes, rooms have a small refrigerator, but it's often filled with minibar items or too small for large leftovers.
Are pets allowed?
No. Unlike some other MGM properties, the MGM Tower at Borgata does not allow dogs.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Keep your parking receipt! It often grants you free parking at other Atlantic City casinos until 6 AM the next day.
- ✨
The 'Sunroom' lobby bar is a hidden gem for a quiet morning coffee or evening tapas away from the casino crowds.
- ✨
Use the 'Water Club' valet entrance (now MGM Tower valet) to skip the chaotic main Borgata valet line.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'renovated' bathrooms sometimes still have old grout issues—check the corners.
💡There is a 1.1-mile walking trail connecting Borgata, Golden Nugget, and Harrah's along the water if you want fresh air.
💡The 'Stay Well' shower infuser is a gimmick, but the memory foam mattress in those rooms is legitimately better.
💡You can order food from the main Borgata restaurants to your room, but delivery times can be 60+ minutes on weekends.
💡The elevators are incredibly fast, rarely a wait even at checkout time.
