Disliked: Cleanliness

Not as nice as expected for the money

Bathroom tub was dirty; sink was clogged requiring maintenance to replace pipes under the sink “because they gave way when they attempted to clear the clog.” Beds were made, but looked like someone had slept on them.

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.
