We were in the North tower and it was QUIET at night (we like to catch-up on sleep when we travel). Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. All kids, all the time.I would avoid it (unless you have kiddos of course). So, we had excellent treatments, but unfortuantely, the overall experience was impacted. Plus, the co-ed area was closed during the weekend. 2) I'm aware that this is not the spa's fault, but we had an alarm system go off during our spa visit. We did eat Acai bowls and juices every morning, but would have preferred a nice sit down breakfast during our stay. There really wasn't a sit down breakfast place. There are three very high end restaurants (Council, Il Murano, and Kuro) and the rest are quick bites. 4) We enjoyed the fitness room (yeah, we are the wierdos that train everyday on vacation) and we both had the BEST massages in our lives! Please ask for Anthony or Meagan. Here's my quick assessment: Pros: 1) Clean rooms and hotel - great job! 2) We loved being on the boardwalk (vs isolated at the Borgata) 3) The gaming floor is laid out very nicely and the staff are very friendly and fun. When we walked in our thoughts were that it was stunningly updated and very clean (that's a lot of work folks!). We decided to try something new since the Hard Rock is basically a new property.
My wife and I typically stay at the Borgata when we travel to AC (once a year).
