The hype
Travelers universally agree it's the 'cleanest and classiest' in AC, but the check-in lines on Fridays are a nightmare.

Varför människor älskar det
- MGM Tower (formerly Water Club) offers a genuinely upscale, non-smoking sanctuary
- The best poker room and high-limit gaming action in Atlantic City
- Dining options that actually rival NYC, from Old Homestead Steak House to Izakaya
Snabb Överblick: It's the nicest hotel in Atlantic City by a mile, but you're stranded in the Marina District so don't expect to walk to the Boardwalk.
Recenserat av @tdibob: I booked the Tower Suites on the 30th floor (locals know it as the Water Club). It’s super quiet compared to the main hotel, and the room layout is huge. If you want a high-roller vibe without the noise, this is the spot.

- You are a poker player or serious gambler looking for professional tables
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent. Daily service is reliable, though weekend rushes can lead to missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: MGM Tower bathrooms are pristine with modern grout. Borgata Tower bathrooms are clean but showing age with some water spots.
- Maintenance: Top-tier for Atlantic City. Broken items are fixed quickly, unlike boardwalk competitors.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality. No threadbare towels here.
- Odors & scents: MGM Tower smells like 'white tea and fig'. Borgata Tower smells like 'expensive perfume covering up cigarettes'.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool free for guests?
Yes, but access depends on your tower. MGM Tower guests get exclusive access to the adults-only pool. Borgata Tower guests use the main indoor pool.
Can I walk to the Boardwalk?
No. It's a dangerous and long walk along a highway. Take the $2.50 Jitney or a $13 Uber.
Is there a resort fee?
Yes, ~$34.09/night plus another ~$22 in state occupancy taxes/fees. Expect to pay ~$56/night over the room rate.
Does the room have a fridge?
Yes, a small cooling fridge is standard, but it's not super cold. No microwave.
Is it pet friendly?
No. Service animals only. Strictly enforced.
What is the difference between Borgata and MGM Tower?
MGM Tower (formerly Water Club) is newer, non-smoking, quieter, and has its own adults-only pool. Borgata Tower is closer to the casino floor but older.
Insider-tips
- ✨
Use the MGM Tower valet even if staying in Borgata Tower—it's faster, less chaotic, and connects via a short indoor walk.
- ✨
The 'Sunroom' in the MGM Tower lobby is a hidden quiet spot with comfy chairs that is almost always empty.
- ✨
Bread + Butter is the only spot open 24/7 for food, but the line moves fast.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Marsh View' from odd-numbered rooms is actually just mud and windmills.
💡You can order food from the high-end restaurants to go and eat it in the food court if you can't get a reservation.
💡The shower pressure in the renovated MGM Tower rooms is significantly better than the main tower.
💡There is no coffee maker in standard Borgata Tower rooms—you must go downstairs to Starbucks (and wait in a huge line).
💡The indoor pool at MGM Tower is one of the most photogenic spots in AC but closes early for private events often.
