I stayed there last weekend, here are my comments:

We arrived around 9PM, minimal check-in line. They had already assigned me a room and keyed the keys. I asked about an upgrade, but was told the hotel was oversold.

Our room was on the 14th floor (out of 16) with a view of the boardwalk and ocean. Pretty standard room for a Sheraton, standard size, standard amenities. They're a little too big into the Miss America thing; our room had some old photos from the pagent that didn't really match well with the modern art in the rest of the room. The lobby has tons of Miss America stuff too.

We requested the fruit basket as our amentity on the card at the front desk; room service called up a few minutes after we arrived and asked what we wanted as our amenity; I told him the fruit basket. That turned out to be really nice with a lot of very fresh fruit, tin of candies and jar of pears.

The hotel runs a free limo to Caesars which is really convienient. Of course, you do have to tip the driver, but it's still a lot cheaper than a cab, and more pleasant. The walk isn't bad either; we did that about a third of the time.

Breakfast in the club lounge was nice, though I would have liked some whole fruit for the road. We missed it the first morning because we were told it operated until 9:30, when it actually ran to 11:30 on the weekends.

The food spread in the evening may have been nice, but it was completely gone within an hour of it's two hour operation. They should really have replenished it.

I asked for a late checkout at the front desk during the day Saturday (Friday - Sunday stay), the agent said they had a DJ convention and couldn't accomodate us. Just as I was about to speak up, he said, "Are you a platinum member?" I said "yes" and he said "I'll put that in for you." And that was the end of that.

Overall it's a pretty good hotel. Unless I were certain to be comped at one of the casinos, I'd stay at the Sheraton as my first choice in AC. Or if I planed to be on the beach, I'd probably want to stay right on the boardwalk.
