Tropicana Atlantic City
We stayed in the South Tower, which gave us a view down the Boardwalk and beach towards
the Hilton. This was before the renovations, so it was a pretty basic room and did
not have any fancy amenities. It was clean and comfortable, and priced right.
There was HBO and the usual pay per view movies and video games, but no data port or internet.
