We have spent several nights this summer at this hotel. All of our stays have been terrific and we plan to go back soon. We did walk to the boardwalk at night, but drove to the beach each day. We prefer the beaches south of the hotel area. There is a jitney (small bus) that picks up at the convention center directly across from the hotel. It costs approx. $1.50 each way. Ceasars Casino provides free limo service from the hotel to the casino.
Let me know if you need any other info regarding the hotel or the Atlantic City area.
