Customer service was very low and bad. The TV never worked in the room. They blew me off and acted as if there was nothing they can do. The heater in the room is old school and makes loud noises. Definitely not worth the money nor is it what you think it is being that is at a casino. The staff was ...

Air conditioning unit did not work well. We could not get our room under 75 degrees throughout our 3 days there. Other than that, no complaints with our time there. Staff was great! & breakfast buffet was good & very attended to by staff.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Know where to eat around there Coming up to the property everything up that road was closed down run down

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

There are some run-down areas, but you find that everywhere. The motel is located a little away from the worse areas, and I felt safe there. Driving was easily negotiable and I felt perfectly safe driving alone to get to the hospital.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Just came in for the game.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

will get a deferent hotel next time.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The casino property is safe, clean, and patrolled. The surrounding area is a depressed, run down, unsafe looking slum. Easy to go across the river via metro, car, or shuttle to Busch Stadium, or other attractions.

3/5 - Okay
