Hotels on the Boardwalk
The choice for hotels without casinos on the Boardwalk is the Blue Green Resort at Atlantic Palace. It’s located at New York Avenue and the Boardwalk and is a high-rise hotel in which all the rooms are suites. The suite style accommodations are great for visitors as they include kitchenettes, spacious accommodations and excellent ocean views. Our next choice is the Tropicana Casino, the primary reason for this pick is the Quarter at the Tropicana an amazing Havana Cuba Themed entertainment area with amazing restaurants, nightckubs, Irish Pubs, Russian Vodka Lounge and much more.
Motels Near Atlantic City
There are lots of hotels and motels to choice from near Atlantic City, these accommodations are located on either the White Horse Pike in Absecon or the Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township or West AC. Our recommendation here is the Ramada Atlantic City West, it’s owned by a good family that takes pride in delivering clean and comfortable accommodations for it’s guests. The Ramada West AC is located on the Black Horse Pike 1.5 miles from the Beach and Boardwalk.
The next best option is the Fairfield Inn by Marriott on the White Horse Pike.

The Fairfield Inn has a great fitness room and has plenty of parking for cars and trucks of all sizes.
Atlantic City Bed and Breakfasts B & B’s
