The story
The Tropicana Atlantic City delivers a solid budget-friendly stay right on the Boardwalk, with a surprisingly polished interior and clean rooms that punch above their price point. For the casual diner or family seeking a lively meal, the on-site Carmine’s delivers—creator Walk With Me Tim specifically praised its “great lasagna” as a standout, making this a low-key but satisfying pit stop.
That said, the experience comes with a few rough edges. Tim noted “slightly worn furniture” and “dirty lifts,” so while the room and lasagna impress, the common areas show their age. It’s a practical, no-frills choice for Atlantic City, especially if you prioritize value and a hearty Italian dish over pristine hallways.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- The room is clean and cozy with two queen beds, a great view of Atlantic City, and a small coffee machine. The furniture is a bit worn, but for the price you really can't complain. The bathroom is clean with a huge mirror and a decent shower that could fit four people.
Facilities
- The indoor pool is pretty naff, but the tropical theming throughout the hotel is amazing. The casino is vast and there are plenty of restaurants and shops. The outside pool was closed in winter.
Location
- The hotel is right on the boardwalk with great views of Atlantic City and the ocean from the upper floors.
Service
- Check-in was fast and easy with a self-service kiosk. The lifts are dirty and I found a sock in one. Otherwise service was fine.
Value for money
- The total for one night was $82.30 including resort fees. For that price, you get a clean room, great view, and access to the casino and facilities. It's an amazing deal.

The Tropicana is a great budget option on the Atlantic City boardwalk with a surprisingly nice interior, a clean room, and a great lasagna at Carmine's, despite slightly worn furniture and dirty lifts.
