The stay was fine, but more expensive than it should be for an isolated casino hotel. The ironing board was small. There was a stain on the carpet.

The property is mostly accommodating a wonderful rate for a good room but it is far from a lot of things and the casino is not as big as you would think given the size of the property. The dining is limited considering it is far from almost everything however there was one place that was open late convenient and the food was delicious but more options would be great

This property is located in a very far remote place.... surrounded by a steel mill factory and recycling plants that smell really bad. The casino hotel is not well kept and all over smells like tobacco all over the place.... the elevator had cigarette buts in the floor. I had requested a non-smoking room and what I got was a bad smelly room stinking marihuana that was totally disgusting and unacceptable. I could not stay there. I came down to the front desk to complain and they told me that they could not guarantee that moving me to another "non-smoking" room would be any better because, they said, guests at the hotel do not respect the mandatory non smoking in designated rooms. A complete disaster. I found myself 45 minutes drive out of Chicago at 7pm but I could not stay there for one minute. The hotel said that they felt bad about my terrible experience and they would be issuing a full refund for my stay that night. So far I have not seen the refund anywhere. Please unless you could tolerate such a smelly tobacco place STAY AWAY AND AVOID THIS CRAPPY PLACE.

Shower was full of mold. Staff was friendly. I understand the establishment is almost 30 year's old, but a multi million dollar hotel and casino could do better in cleanliness and updating rooms and common areas.
