The short version
Ocean stands at the far end of the Boardwalk, and the views are much of the appeal. Guests say every room faces the water. Fans describe a spacious resort that rarely feels crowded, with the beach a few steps away, restaurants they rate highly and Ovation Hall, a concert room praised for its sound. Valet gets friendly reviews, and a couple of guests celebrating birthdays were moved to better rooms at no charge.
The low ratings are mostly about housekeeping and the front desk. Reviewers report dirty bathrooms, stained sheets and clogged drains, cleaning requests that went unanswered for hours, and rooms still not ready well past the posted check in time, sometimes after long lines. Several felt desk managers and security brushed them off when things went wrong, and people who paid top rates say the rooms didn't match the price.
Written from about 20 recent Google reviews, Google's most relevant and its lowest rated, read in September 2026. Places change, so take it as a guide rather than the last word.

I absolutely loved my visit to Ocean Casino Resort!
From the moment I arrived, the valet parking experience was friendly, efficient, and incredibly easy. The entire resort feels elegant, upscale, and beautifully maintained.
One thing I especially appreciated was that the casino didn't have the overwhelming smell of…
I am currently staying at Ocean Casino and leave tomorrow. Unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing.
I was underwhelmed by the amenities in the room. No toothpaste and the soap didn't have a soap dish. It's very basic. But the space and views of the hotel make up for the minimalist room.
