I remember going to Borgata a few years back, when it was in its prime. Things have definitely changed - Covid had quite an impact on the casino. The amenities look great, however, the management is clearly trying to reduce costs. The indoor pool was freezing cold, the coffeemaker in the room was broken, most of the restaurants were closed, the faucet handle fell off in our bathroom, etc. I'm still giving the casino 4 stars, because I understand that it must be tough for them right now (same goes for most businesses). A few tips if you would like to stay in Borgata in the nearest future: more restaurants will be open on weekends than weekdays; the outdoor pool will be open Friday-Sunday; bring your own shampoo, ladies (the one they give you is tiny - not enough if you have long hair). There is no microwave in the room, so keep that in mind when ordering food in the restaurant (order only what you can eat - you won't be able to warm it up later). You will need your phone to access the amenities, your room or the elevator (unless you decide to go though a traditional check-in process instead of a contactless one). The MGM app is a great idea from a security standpoint, although ours didn't work well and we ended up stuck between floors in the elevator waiting for it to work. The hotel wifi could be better, especially given the fact that everything depends on the app. They are planning to open their swim club in the very end of June (weekends only).
