Bad Experience

The room was dirty, cobwebs where behind the chair , night stands baseboards where filthy no one came to put linens in rm on the second day we where there, it’s pretty bad when the customer has to walk across the parking lot to go get their own linens and then walk back to their hotel with them. That’s pretty embarrassing.

This is not a normal hotel. It's a building that used to be a hotel. You have to go into the casino across the parking lot to check in. The hotel looks like it hasn't been maintained for 30 years. Wallpaper peeling off the walls everywhere you look, dated furniture in your room that is torn or worn, the beds are old spring type. I went out of my room at 1am to get something from my car and when I tried to get back in, my key card wouldn't work. Most hotels that's not a huge deal but at this one, you'll have to go across the large parking lot to the casino, then you'll find no one at that front desk with a sign to call security. Security did a nice job responding and got me into my room but what an inconvenience to deal with in the middle of the night!!!

We thought we would be staying at the casino but they put us in the Lodge. Hard to maneuver with a handicapped party. Only had towels for 2 in a party of 3. The desk person went above and beyond and offered to bring them when she got off of her shift but there was no one else to bring additional towels to us. We just went the next day and got some. Would have rather stayed at the actual casino.

The hotel was your typical hotel, nothing spectacular, but the beds and pillows were super comfy. I will book a stay in the future and go back. I would highly recommend checking out the casino too! We did fairly well and had a good time and it was really neat that it was on a riverboat.

This casino needs some major help. the room was clean but the carpets and grass areas surrounding the property were in bad shape. There were only a few portable stations to wash your hands. Masks were required but there should have been multiple areas to wash your hands since you are playing on machine. Very disappointed and most likely will not return when there are other casinos in better shape.

Won’t stay there again.

We waited to check in almost 20 minutes. There was no one at the front desk. Had reserved a room with two Queens. The resort had us down for one king. Had three adults in the room and when I called down for an extra towel I was told I had to bring down the dirty towels before I could get more. WHAT??? The carpet throughout the establishment was dingy and even heavily soiled. I like to take the stairs instead of the elevator. It was so filthy, I actually expected to see rats running around. Thank goodness, I did not. The room itself was comfortable and seemed clean. The bed was comfortable.

This is billed as a casino resort so a nice experience is expected.
The \"Lodge\" hotel at the resort is newer. The double deluxe room is huge. The free breakfast buffet is located across the street in the entrance/lobby of the casino. The building is decorated beautifully but the buffet breakfast is a joke. There is coffee, juice and water that is self serve. One server for 30+ tables and the place was packed. The \"buffet\" is from a menu and must be ordered. We were seated but didnt even receive a menu after 30 minutes so breakfast equalled one glass of juice.
The actual casino is nothing short of ANCIENT. It is very small. The reels on tbe slot machines are faded.
We were never able to find information about amenities listed.
You hardcore gamblers that only require a \"chip and a chair\" will certainly get that. If you want a little more, do yourself a favor and visit a different casino.
