If you go to the AC chapter site (http://www.ccgtcc.com/chapters/ac) there is a link to all casino hotels. However there are also non-casino hotels in the area including

- holiday inn (on the boardwalk between Hilton and Tropicana)

- Hampton Inn
- plus any number of smaller (and clean) motels from 1 block to 6 miles away. You can check out the list maintained at the chamber of commerce at http://www.atlanticcitynj.com/accommodations_motels.asp
