The Showboat is an older hotel and you know it when you walk in. The carpet in the lobby area has to be original. There was gorilla and duct tape everywhere on it. First impression was not the best for sure. After a long drive, I used the restroom in the lobby area. It was disgusting! Trash on the floor, toilets not flushed, whole roll of TP in the toilet. I was lucky, I pulled the last bit of TP off the roll. Half of the soap dispensers did not work. They had blue latex gloves over them. REALLY! After seeing how this was kept, wasn't sure how my room would be. But the room was clean but needed updating. There wasn't a coffee pot in the room, which was listed as an amenity on the website. Reason given is that they were pulled out of all rooms except the suites. Just haven't updated the website. I think I only saw two employees smile. The rest looked miserable.
