My boyfriend took me to the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City during the first week of March 2018 for a few days of quality time which I really appreciated. (Let's be clear though, this hotel is far from romantic.)
I'm not a gambler so the Casino had no real allure for me although I did play slot machines during my stay. I found that there wasn't much to do in the hotel. The winter weather those few days was just so awful; too awful to venture out!
The bars & restaurants in the hotel--albeit convenient--were all closed early. There were no shows to see either.
The hotel itself, in my opinion, was OK. The room had ample room. The bathroom was tiny but everything was clean. I really appreciated the mini refrigerator in the room! The bed was OK but the overall decor of the hotel and our room was a bit outdated. The staff was friendly.
My boyfriend, however, enjoyed the Golden Nugget very much. He described it as: clean, welcoming, comfortable and inviting with a nice bed. He also thought the staff was very friendly and he would like for us to return.
