Rooms, and Casino were very good. Very dissapointed that 2 of the three Gourmet Restaraunts were not open the first night, the web site indicated all were open. Could not get reservations at the one remaining open between 6:30 pm, and 8:30 pm. Had to go next door to the Showboat for dinner. Had trouble getting an answer on the room phone from Guest Services, or Front Desk. I look forward to the house restaraunts on my stays in Atlantic City. Would have to reconsider another stay at this Hotel Casino, however would not completely rule it out.

This hotel was, in a word, okay. This was my first trip to Atlantic City; I came down for my 21st birthday, and it wasn't quite what I expected. This hotel did have a very good bar, but unfortunately the night club was closed when I made my visit. From what I hear the club is phenomenal, it's a shame I went down on a weekday to save money. I got my room for 95 bucks after taxes and I felt the value was well worth it though. The bed was slightly uncomfortable but the view was nice. The location was prime though! Right in the middle of the boardwalk in between all of the action. I would say though, travelling to other casinos is a must if you stay at this hotel, because the entertainment can only last so long. I truly needed to check out the other situations around town. I rate it a 6 out of 10.

The buffet was probaly the worse buffet ever. I love the location with the pier right out the back door on boardwalk. The service all around was great as well as helpful and nice. I had a wonderful experience in the casino... I played at almost all the casinos there but I only walk away happy at The Taj...You can always count on Blazing 7's and Wheel of Fortune at Taj, payout was incredible... My only real complaint was the restaurants and the awful food, I'm in the restaurant business and blow away any and all restaurants in the Taj... AVOID THAT AWFUL BUFFET AT ALL COST, DISGUSTING!!! If you have teens and small children this is ideal due to the rides and the pier are right outside the Taj's back door on the boardwalk along with the beach. Our room was very clean although pretty small but the discount I got on this site made up for it by far...Comps, promos, and such are good... Entertainment seemed very good. Larry the cable guy was there when we stayed... The four people that traveled with me enjoyed it very much...I have stayed at Harrahs, Trump Marina, Bally's, Sands, Tropicana, and Caesars. Taj and Harrah's are the only 2 out of all that I would stay at again. Taj for the gambling and Harrah's for the rooms...

I often visit the Taj Mahal because I enjoy going to the Casbah. This was the first time that I ever stayed there. I went with a couple friends and we got two rooms. I had problems checking in and there was a very long line at check in. The name of my friend in the other room was misspelled and the person at the front desk was unable to cross reference the name. After waiting in line for over a half hour I had to go back and call you to find out the problem. Once the reason was found out we had to go back down in wait in line for another 20 minutes because when we called down to the front desk we were put on hold for 15 minutes and never received help. Other than that everything was great. The rooms are overpriced. In fact when they could not find our reservation they offered us another room for $40 less than we payed, however since the room was paid for we did not take them up on it. The room was nice and clean and we had a wonderful time regardless of any minor issues. I would definately stay there again.

The hotel was okay for the price i paid for. I got 2 singles instead of 1 double, which i didn't like and we had to get back on the freeway to get to the casino which was about 5-10 min. away. The staff was very friendly and let us stay an extra 30 min. after check-out because we woke up late and didn't charge us for it. Since we went during November, the pool was closed, so I have no comment about that. Other than that, It was a romantic getaway and I would stay at the Ramada again.

I prefer this casino hotel over others because of the glamour, glitter and ambience. The fine cuisine and courteous staff were always a welcome. The location is centered on the boardwalk and it's really appreciated that as older adults, kids are none existant. What a relief, let children go elsewhere to play. No one complains about cigar smoking or drinking alcohol during the day. My kind of vacation and the slots are paying regularly. I recommend this hotel to all first time gamblers and to all others. The drive up to the entrance, being greeted by those six white elephants.

I was disappointed because I came there specifically on a day that advertised double cash back. I found out that I only get the cash back 48 hours AFTER I am gone - the cash award will expire before I return!
Also, the comp award certificates state that they are good 'After 24 hours' (see front of the comp certificate). So I printed them each day and saved them up for a really good meal on my last night there. I was told the comps I printed on day 1 and day 2 were expired. This was on day 4. VERY Disappointed!

The room was a bit pricey for just a basic room.
The room was very clean.
The bathroom was basic, but also very clean.
We did get the king bed that we requested which was very nice.
The bed was comfortable, and the linens also very nice and good quality.
The restaurants that we ate in for both breakfast and dinner were very nice. The service and the food were very good.
Over all it was a nice stay and would stay again.

The highlight of my stay was the beautiful room and the beach. Other then that it wasn't what I was expecting from such a renowned hotel. The casino was one of the biggest disappointments. The numbers of places to eat are very limited, not to mention everything there I would classify as junk food, very poor fine dinning. I found myself leaving to go to other casinos for gambling and dinning. My recommendation would be not to stay here. There are many other great hotel casinos that I enjoyed like the Borgata gets A in my book.

I initially made an online reservation where I was led to believe the rate would be cheaper as I booked well in advance. I requested on that same reservation a room with an ocean view. Upon arriving I had to pay for parking even as a guest in your hotel, not that big of a deal but when checking in I discovered through talking to the young lady behind the counter I was actually charged a little more booking on-line than if I walked in off the street. Again I asked the lady if our room had an ocean view, she doubled checked and said yes you do. Our room looked out at a building under construction, the Showboat, and the city however if we looked close we could see a little of the ocean . A mere inconvenience was the vending machine on the floor was out of order for the entire stay. On a better note the staff was pleasant and helpful, well except for the whole ocean view thing, the casino was enjoyable and the restaurants visited were delectable. I would consider staying again but it would take a little convincing.

Very disappointing with check in. Our check in person was not helpful at all. Was our first visit she offered absolutely no assistance. The young man offering assistance to the couple next to us was asking what floor would you like, would you like ocean front or view if available all kinds of helpful information . This did not set a very good tone for a 2 day stay. We felt stuck or had. Confusing arrival with no or limited directions. Hotel was beautiful. Rooms were not as depicted in photos. Had to pay for parking . That was wrong just plain wrong. Everything was to commercial. I know money is everything? Right. There were many people there our age and most had a lost look about them. Interesting visit. Thank you.

The room was less than I expected. Attempting to get information on eating places outside the Taj was very hard. Assistance on the Casino floor was almost non-existent. For $402 per night I guess I expected maybe a bottle of water in the room. Directions from the self-park to the Lobby is poor and if you have more than one bag like we did it was very difficult to navigate down the narrow escalator to the restaurant floor and then to the lobby floor. Perhaps you could indicate to persons driving in that they first go to the lobby and then go back and park their car in the self parking.

The hotel appeared to be quite unfriendly. This property was very expensive compared to comparable or better casino and hotels in Las Vegas. Payment for valet parking as a hotel guest is unreasonable and not in keeping with all other casinos that I've visited domestically as well as internationally. The much tauted "Chairman's tower" was only compatible to average rooms in other casino/hotels that I've visited. The bathroom had only a shower without a bath tub. The casino staff is also very unfriendly. The rewards offerings are quite misleading and add lead little or no value to the visit. The food that we tried was of fair quality at the best. The neighborhood appeared to be very unsafe and looked blighted. The hotel and casino clientele appeared to be quite unsavory in terms of behavior as well as appearance. Overall, the experience was quite disappointing and if the remainder of Atlantic City is similar in nature than I am happy to say that this was my first and last trip there!
Comments : - I am sorry to hear this. Call us next time and we will make sure to take care of you.

Made reservations through AtlanticCity.com and paid stay directly at hotel. Received credit card statement and got charged from both places - each with a different amount! Had no internet connections in room which could not be fixed. Had concern with breathing heavy smoke in air throughout casino even though they had designated smoking areas in casino.
Comments : - I am sorry to hear this. Support will look into double charge and remedy it. Smoke is bad and no internet too. Hotel will hear this.
