Hollywood Casino & Hotel St. Louis

8/10 Good
"We paid $20pp to use the hotel shuttle.. they failed to mention the amount/number of these they were selling. By the time we got on the bus to be taken back to the hotel we could’ve walked. Others were calling Ubers to come get them after already paying for the shuttle, due to wait time. Stood in an extremely long like for the better part of an hour after the concert."
