We have returned from a four night stay and we would not recommend this property for an enjoyable vacation. We arrived at 5:30 PM after a 9 hour drive and our room was not ready until 7:30 PM. I requested a renovated room (as I had read the comments about the property) and was assured the room was one of the refurbished rooms. It was not as the carpet was dirty throughout the hotel and the room had peeling wallpaper and a disgusting bathtub with the light fixture hanging down, bathmat disgustingly dirty (it would cost $3.00 to replace) and the bathtub peeling. Not the most pleasant environment.
The pool area is a joke.
The casino was also unpleasant as it was not cleaned regularly and you would sit at a machine and have empty drinks and overflowing ashtrays. The casino waitress's were not the most pleasant as I heard one yell at someone trying to order a drink (thank god it wasn't me).
The restaurants were expensive. The Cafe 24 was a pleasant experience as the staff were friendly and helpful.
Upon check-out I voiced my concerns and was informed that my complaints were common.
I think that walking into the hotel you think that it is nice and over the top, but it is an illusion and when you enter the elevators the true character of the hotel comes out.
Good Luck

I just got back from the Trump Plaza and am very disappointed. I told the check in person it was my daughter's b'day and asked if we could have a nice rm. She could have cared less. They couldn't find my reservation because although they received it, the reservation had not been entered into the computer. I had reserved the room online. The rm was very dark, furnishings and carpet old. The counter top in the bathrm was peeling. I returned to the front desk to ask for a renovated rm. I was told the rm was renovated, when I asked when, I was told they were renovating rm by rm and floor by floor and the rm that was given me was the best rm available.

When we walked into the casino the age of the guests were not mixed but almost all seniors. The casino was dark and dull and lifeless. The restaurants expensive. One saving grace is Ceasars is next door. My daughter and I walked over and found life in their casino. The next day we went to the Tropicana for the Blue Mercury Spa for massages, which was wonderful. We found many restaurants, shops, an IMAX theater, and had a ball at the casino. The Tropicana was alive with people of all ages. I can't say how their hotel rms are but everything else was great.

Trump International Hotel in Miami is fantastic but don't expect the same quality in A/C.

I visit A.City quite frequently. Trump Plaza was always my main casino to play at and stay. (I take advantage of my comp. rooms). Anyway... this past visit may be my last for awhile. Upon check in, I waited in line for 45 min. because there was only 1 person behind the counter doing check-in's. Unreal! I normally ask for a room in the East Tower. There weren't any available (so I was told), and we were given a room in the Main tower. I have never seen such a creepy hotel room in my life. We were put up on the 17th floor. Our room looked like a converted closet of some-kind. Very small, very dark - not inviting. I've stayed in many other rooms at this casino and this by far was the worst! There was mold atop the wallpaper, in the bathroom tub, and near our big window. The shower curtain was stuck fast together. Looked like it hadn't been moved in years! When I tried to pull it apart it tore! Had no towel, had to call the front desk! And the bed was like sleeping on a tabletop- hard as a rock! I went to the front desk and asked to be moved. They informed me that they are only allowed so many comp. rooms per day, and they were all full and I couldn't be moved to another room. I don't know what the deal was with this room, but I certainly was not impressed. Voicing my opinion to the staff didn't help much, except get us breakfast comps. Big Deal! I will be staying elsewhere on my next few visit to A.City. (next door at Caesar's). I sure hope they renovate some of these rooms that are an eyesore with the $$$$ Donald gets from selling Trump Marina :)

I was nervous about staying at the Trump Plaza after I read some of the reviews but I have no complaints. The room was very nice with a great view and exceptionally clean. Everyone from the front desk to the bell hop to the valet was very nice and helpful. They didn't even charge us as much as was quoted. How about that. We really weren't that impressed with the casino - but all of the casinos seem to be the same. We will definitely stay there again. The location is great.
