2nd trip to tropicana in 6 months and again everything went smoothly. check-in was a breeze- no line- no hassle (it was january and the place was empty) i was in the north tower (the original tower) and like the west tower the room was big enough and more importantly clean. the beds are fabulous. there was a fridge in the cabinet as well as coffee. the room was made up quickly. the coffee shop food was good and the service was far better than the last time. in the wintertime location is an issue since its too cold to walk to other hotels on the boardwalk, but we valet our car and it was delivered quickly (no charge to hotel guests). i still dont underatand why there is no security at the elevators to check keys. all in all though tropicana has it all for an incredibly low price
what's an Occupancy Fee?

Drop off your luggage and companion first at registration, then park. Note your lot and location in writing. Registration was smooth, tho no freebies for us. Walked 15 minutes to our room on 6th floor of north tower (had a view of our car - but it still took 20 minutes to get to it). Room decent with a comfortable chair, average hotel size, cracked granite sink. Heavy metal doors banged most of the night. Check out Italian restaurant and Lennox 3 blocks from from hotel on Baltic great for B,L, and D - 60% off hotel prices. If you can play poker for 4 hours, reserve your room thru the poker room and get it cheaper. Newbies should get a loyalty card and we received $10 for gambling and free {$5} parking. We lost our car in the parking lot (30 feet from the entrace ) and security eventully helped us find it - 45 minutes. A decent value for the money.
Not Bad

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly, but the restaurant options were limited - one had two choices of either eating at an overpriced restaurant or eating at a below average restaurant. There was nothing like a good value restaurant which was disappointing. Also the waiters would not give us time to read our menus and one of them at the Palm restaurant even offered us to leave if we thought we could not afford the meal, which was highly insulting since we were taking our time trying to decide what wine to order.
Also internet cost $10 for 24 hours and it was so slow that the show we were trying to watch online rebooted every 3 minutes because the connection kept stalling.
The rooms do not have a coffee maker, which I found quite odd.
Better than expected...

The hotel was very clean, the staff helpful and the atmosphere exciting. The room was nice and the price was fair. The pool was okay, though a little small, hence can get crowded. The indoor mall was great and there are plently of places to eat. My only problem was that the breakfast menus in all the hotel restraunts are extremely overpriced ($17.00 for pancakes?) so eat somewhere outside the hotel in the morning. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and would go back again.
