Hi mderrico, I have stayed once at Dunes hotel which is located in Point Pleasant beach within day trip distance of
Atlantic city. It's situated in 1601 Ocean Ave, parallel to the beach, so access to beach is very easy. This hotel provided me a free beach passes for Maryland Avenue beach located just two blocks away and you can even enjoy surfing here. If you are looking for the best
Atlantc city hotels then, Ballys hotel, Caesars Atlantic City, Borgata Casino hotel and Atlantic City Hilton are some of the best choices. Most of the hotels in Atlantc city offer discounted rates online, so better book in advance! Best of luck!
