Ocean Front Super Suite with Balcony

As the name says, this suite faces the water. You get direct Atlantic Ocean views and a private balcony for sea air and sunlight. Showboat Hotel sits right on the Boardwalk, so the ocean is the backdrop from your balcony.

The suite has one king bed with premium, hypo-allergenic bedding and blackout drapes, and it sleeps 2 guests. A rollaway bed or crib can be added for a surcharge.

The suite has two private bathrooms. They include a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower. Each bathroom is stocked with complimentary toiletries, shampoo, soap, towels and toilet paper, and a hair dryer is provided.

At 1399 sq. ft. it is a one-bedroom suite. The bedroom is climate-controlled with both air conditioning and heating, and a separate living room gives you space to relax away from the bed. There is also a desk with chair and a laptop workspace.

With one king bed and sleeping for two, it suits couples best, and the size, two bathrooms and workspace make it comfortable for a longer stay. Showboat Hotel is a family resort, and connecting rooms are available if you are travelling with others. Children of any age are welcome, but children 10 and older are charged as adults.

The suite is pet friendly under the hotel's policy. Dogs only are allowed, up to 2 per room and up to 50 lbs each, for $100 per pet per stay. Pets cannot be left unattended, and service animals are exempt from fees.
