There was a dirty towel in the bathroom closet floor, but the rest of the room was great. The staff were all great especially the hotel front desk staff were all very polite and helpful.
I would say it was very clean and had a nice hot tub and pool. I was kind of disappointed that you had to have a players card to enter what looked like a very nice restaurant with a nice fire going to sit by. So we went in the lounge which was nice, so just a suggestion about the restaurant. Overall a good experience and friendly staff.
Nice stay for two days for two people. Mattresses firm. Wish they would give you more than two single packets of coffee for two days. Not much choice in menus between the two places you can eat. Arrived at one place at 10:50 AM for breakfast, they close at 11:00 so we had to wait until their only other restaurant opens at 11:00AM. Staff was very good (Front desk, security, maintenance, room attendance, and dealers.
Room was very clean, hotel staff was very friendly, lots of resturant options, pool/hot tub area very nice! Well worth the money and the casino is easy walking distance!
We stayed at the Ameristar as our son had a golf tournament and why not make it a little more fun! We loved the food at the sports bar. The room was nice and clean and the service was excellent. We will definitely go back.
Easy check in. Plenty of free parking in front of hotel. Comfortable temperature throughout the facility (not too hot, not too cold). We had the jacuzzi suite and it was fantastic. The jacuzzi was very big. Exceeded my expectations. I did not like that a complimentary breakfast was not offered.
Well, if you’re hungry there’s no food to eat when you have late check in. Restaurant ia closed within the hotel but other than that hotel is nice and clean.
