COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT ATLANTIC CITY BEACH BLOCK, Atlantic City

The hotel sits at 1212 Pacific Avenue, placing it one block off the Boardwalk and just a 2- to 5-minute walk from the beach and boardwalk attractions. Resorts Casino is two blocks away, with an indoor walkway connecting to the Hard Rock. Boardwalk Hall is 12 blocks away, and the Atlantic City Convention Center is a few minutes' drive. The Walk Outlet Shopping Center (over 100 shops and restaurants) is within walking distance. Atlantic City International Airport is 21 km away. The immediate area is lively but has some less developed blocks; most find it safe to walk during daytime and evening hours. Parking is on-site, so a car is manageable, though public transport is limited-the beach, casinos, and dining are all walkable.

All guest rooms and suites have been recently renovated and include plush bedding, a flat-screen HDTV with streaming capabilities, free Wi-Fi, a coffee maker, a work desk, a microwave, and a mini-fridge. Private bathrooms feature granite countertops and either a tub or walk-in shower. Suite options (1-bedroom suites) include a separate living area with a pullout sofa. The property does not have any rooms with balconies. For a side view of the water, request a south-facing room. Connecting rooms are available only for king-bed configurations (one king bed plus a pullout couch). Rooms accommodate up to 4 people. Air conditioning is standard, though some units have struggled to cool in hot weather.

The Bistro offers made-to-order American food for breakfast (7:00-10:00 AM) and dinner (5:00-9:00 PM) on weekends. Breakfast is priced at $17 per person and includes options like breakfast burritos and bagels, though availability of all menu items is not guaranteed. A snack bar, coffee house, and vending machines (drinks and snacks) are also available on site. For a wider selection, dozens of restaurants (ranging from seafood to Italian and Jamaican) are within a 5- to 10-minute walk, including Popa Pizza, The Irish Pub, and Capriccio. The Bistro also serves beer and wine (a limited selection, which may run out during busy periods).

The fitness center is open 24 hours a day and is free for guests, offering a good option for a workout. There is no swimming pool, no spa, no massage service, and no sauna on site. For outdoor activities, the beach and the boardwalk are a 2- to 5-minute walk. Four golf courses are located within 16 km of the hotel. The hotel is also close to the Hard Rock Casino and other entertainment venues.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/out, luggage storage, and private check-in. Parking is available on site-self-parking costs $10-$20 per night (with in-and-out privileges), and valet parking is $15-$28 per night depending on season/events. No reservation is needed for parking. Laundry and dry cleaning services are available for an additional charge-bring quarters for the coin-operated machines as the hotel may not have change. A business center, meeting/banquet facilities, and fax/photocopying are offered. The property is wheelchair accessible with elevators, accessible parking, hearing-accessible rooms and kits, roll-in showers, grab rails, lowered electrical outlets, and TTY/TTD compatibility.
