Why a scam? Spouse and I have tried for the comp room about 4 times, all on Thursdays, and while the resort fees have gotten higher, it's still been worthwhile.
-1 out of 4 times they were completely out of rooms by the time we did our 4 hours, but that night they comped us a room for the following Sunday night. We live an hour and a half away, so it's no big deal.
-2 out of 4 times we got a room no problem.
-The final time we were told that only smoking rooms were available, but then the clerk upgraded us to a very nice non-smoking suite. That was also the night the bad beat jackpot hit just after spouse sat down at the tables, so it was a good night.
Resort fees + taxes are currently $28 a night, so the room is not completely free. But if you're heading there to play for a few hours *anyway*, and could use the room, it makes sense. You can still hit the pool in the morning before you check out (bring ID), and for me, the pool is even better than the one at the Borgata.
I'm no grinder, but the players on weekday nights seem to be a good mix of skill levels. Table talk is generally friendly; there aren't a ton of players just trying to needle each other all night like in the casino closest to me. The dealers are, for the most part, great. I say it's worth a try.
