If you're curious whether we would stay here again, the answer is YES! And we would absolutely recommend it to you as well!
Here are the amenities offered and a few items we think you should know before you book a room:
• Bally's Lincoln is one of the largest gaming venues in Rhode Island, with over 162,000 square feet & 2 stories of gaming space. It offers both smoking & non-smoking gaming areas, along with several food options, a boutique/gift store, a coffee shop, and an event center
• Located at the North Entrance, you will find the Bally's smoke-free rooms with the following amenities in each: hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion & soap, mini fridge, iron & iron board, small safe, free wifi, coffee maker & 2 mini 8oz bottles of water
• Our room was VERY spacious (handicap accessible), smelled & felt clean, and was nicely decorated with newer finishes & hardwood floors. It had a bench nearest the window, a comfortable leather chair beside the bed, and a large standing desk/bar just below the 42" television. Conveniently located reading lamps were also on each side of the bed's headboard, along with a small alarm clock
• Indoor pool with an accessible lift, available to guests only
• Decent-sized gym with everything you need to get in a basic workout.
• Private outdoor courtyard area separate from the casino & available to guests only.
• Newly constructed Korean-style Spa (located at the north entrance, next to the hotel lobby). If you are a hotel guest, they may give you a special discounted rate on spa packages (ask at the hotel lobby desk or mention it to the personnel at the spa desk). You can also get a day pass to utilize the soaking pools & sauna if you do not want a complete package (see picture)
• Free self-parking (no covered parking), valet parking for a $10 charge on weekends and a $5 charge on weekdays. The parking lot is absolutely massive, and since we traveled with our semi (truck and trailer) on this trip, they allowed us to park on-site as well. Here are the exact coordinates if you have a large truck, trailer, or RV and need to park. I would also suggest calling ahead and verifying that they still allow oversized vehicles to park on-site & overnight.
OUR OPINION • The rooms were quiet and seemed to have thick walls, so we could not hear our neighbors, nor their televisions. We pay close attention to these things because Nate is a VERY light sleeper. If you are a light sleeper, ask the front desk for a room that overlooks the pond & to be on the highest floor possible. I'm sure the rooms with a courtyard view are just as quiet, but we enjoyed watching all the birds and deer graze around the pond... it definitely added to the ambiance!
• We loved the fact that they gave hotel guests an additional discount on spa use (click here to see treatment types). Not to mention, located in the spa area, they had a Korean cuisine restaurant called Hana, somewhat hidden from the rest of the casino. But we were a little bummed to learn that we couldn't use the hot tub or sauna unless we paid for a day pass.
• We have been to our fair share of Casinos, and smoking is usually allowed on the gaming floor at all times. There typically is a small area labeled nonsmoking, but it still shares the same floor area—defeating the purpose of 'nonsmoking'. Bally's on the other hand, took a bigger step forward and did a great job giving nonsmokers a decently sized area, separated by doors and even a second floor dedicated explicitly to nonsmokers. Thank you, Bally!
• Although they had several food options inside the casino, some restaurants closed fairly early or didn't open until the weekends. We saw they had a steak house, but it was only open on Friday & Saturday, so we were a little bummed by that since we were there on a Sunday!
🌎 We travel for a living (USA & around the globe) and love to share our experiences both here on Google maps and on our social media pages, too! Follow along our travel and adventures below!
Cheers friend! Ashley & Nate from...
Read moreThis is the promotion they did and I picked Bally's in Atlantic City, New Jersey and this is what I experienced. Rudeness upon check-in. I experienced much of this from staff the whole time. We arrived around 11:00 am and I went to reservations to check-in. I knew it was too early to check in but I wanted to know I was in the correct hotel. I informed the staff member I knew it was to early but I just wanted to assure I was in the correct hotel. Room was not ready around 5:30 pm when we went to reservation desk. I was told my room was not ready. I stated to the staff member, “but it is after 4:00 pm”. Staff said he would have to speak to his manager. We were then given a room. Once in the room number 774 I started to spray Lysol spray and Scrubbing Bubbles, as a do in all hotels, I started cleaning the bathroom sink when my husband told me to stop because all the red color that was in the scrubbing bubbles was blood. At this time, we called housekeeping and the manager of housekeeping came to our room, he was very nice and very professional. The manager had the bathroom recleaned. The room condition was dilapidated. Curtains had stains on them, now I wondered if it was blood stains and were wrinkled and tattered. Lamp shade was cracked and stained and other furniture in the room was unreasonably scratched up and stained. The rug was dirty and smelt of mold and mildew, the whole room smelt of mold and mildew. The bathroom tub caulking was coming off and was full of mold and mildew. The bathtub would not drain correctly and I was taking military type showers. I was standing in 2 inches of water every time I took a shower. Fruit flies were constantly in the room. Even though I took out the trash every day and swatted, there were constant fruit flies or maybe they were gnats. Just didn’t know where they were coming from. The hallway outside our room was full of sand. There was a pile of sand near a door near us and it was never vacuumed up the entire time of our stay. The hallway had a light urine smell. Stairway from the 7th floor to the 8th floor had a tremendous urine smell. The stairway was so filthy. You could actually see what seemed to appear to be were someone urinated on the wall. It had cigarette butts that were never cleaned up our entire stay. Pool area was in need of much attention. The pool area was dirty, the flooring was coming apart and when I walked on the floor it stuck to my feet. The pool had mildew lines and cracked concrete. Around the pool had metal corner moldings lifting in several areas. Tile was missing and floor grates were lifted. There was no hot tubs or sauna available for use. Elevators were not working correctly. We got stuck in the elevators 2 times during our stay. This is a very scary experience and should not happen like it did. 10.I never received my $50 food and beverage voucher. I went several times to the players club and was finally told to charge it to my room. When I checked out, I was not credited my food and...
Read morePre COVID cost of casino basic (luxury😜) hotel rooms attached to the casino used to cost $100 /night. Pre Covid (2024) costs weeknights and depending on the season or weekends and holidays, cost minimum $159 weeknights to $250 weekends, and holidays like New Year's...fogeddaboditt! Bally's does the most positive for it's clients like you and me, via the BEST marketing. I'm not a gambler and I live in Cape Cod/ Plymouth County Area , MA. Thats a 45 minute drive without traffic so I time my occasional (4 days a year) to not drive during Rush How. I did day trips here because there wasn't a resort hotel that looks, feels and is as luxurious as Foxwoods Casino inside the casino. Bally's had a 24)7 gym and an indoor pool that's inclusive. Foxwoods before the pandemic wanted $200(stealing from it's clients 5) to use their pool despite me being a hotel guest. Bally's includes these perks as well as having a large open unsure nightclub with live bands that I always struggle upon when staying overnight here as a "comp' Bally's is smart to treat people well instead of squeezing blatantly ever cent from clients. To give me 2 nights all month, up to 2 consecutive nights per month, the money I save not paying for the hotel goes to then via me enjoying Roulette, blackjack, craps and the same games that are electronic. I'm in such a GREAT MOOD for this generosity of was "free getaway" I spend up to an extra $1,000 ( if saved over 5 months for vacationing. Half the time I REALLY WIN ENOUGH to purchase a 7 night cruise and hang the time I didn't but I go home with $500 out if the $1000 is allotted myself capped so is not have problems paying bills. I'm definitely MUCH happier going to Bally's and haven't gone to Foxw6 (2.5 hr drive each way vs 45 min @ Baby's. Bally's gives my much more baby for my buck, where Foxwoods always have me anxiety. Thanks Baby's for building a similar set of hotel rooms reminiscent of fiber luxury at Foxwoods, WITHOUT feeling robbed through their poor marketing. Bally's is the best and 45 minutes is only 15 more minutes than visiting 3 different friends 4 to 6 towns away. I win no matter how every time at Bally's by 1). Large cash payout on the one number I bet most on for #1 son. if not win via gambling... 2) I make friendly aquaintences that welcome me into they're group to hang out with them like instant family. 3) pool and watching kids and they're parents when they're parenting absolutely the best makes my eyes water because it reminds me of me there age and the joy of being a mother to 3. I'll compliment them, and I'm party of the family. 4) I get free MENTAL HEALTH ME TIME, Everyone needs that. I'm a WINNER NO MATTER WHAT, ONLY...
