We stayed in a spa tub room with a king bed. The spa tub filled quickly and was big enough for two although I used it by myself. The bathroom was huge and I loved the shower! The shower was large with a large shower head. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were secured to the wall and tamper proof so I felt comfortable using them. The room was quiet and we did not hear any noise from above or outside but it was an off night and off season. The bed was comfortable as was the room temperature. We were able to check into the room a few minutes early.
The entrance area was very smokey. The casino allows smoking (ex smoker here) but it wafted into other areas. May need to update ventilation. The buffet was closed on Sunday which was disappointing. The slot machines were greedy!

The location is great, just off the interstate with plenty of parking. The room was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the oversized jacuzzi tub. The water was hot and the pressure was good. We liked being able to visit the casino and have something to eat on site. We had a king size room and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious.
No breakfast included.

We had a king room which had nice furnishings and plenty of room to walk around. Had a partial view of the river. Room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
Only one option for breakfast. However, was reasonably priced and good food. Could hear talking or TV during the night, but wasn't enough to bother sleeping.

It was convenient to the Interstate we were traveling on. The room was clean.
The staff was not friendly nor helpful. If you asked them a question, they acted as if we were bothering them. The front desk employee argued with me that I didn’t have two rooms reserved, she soon discovered that I did.

Glad Bellas was open. THE HOTEL WAS EXCELLENT IN WELCOMES. EVERY PERSON SPOKE TO US. FROM CHECK IN TO CHECK OUT. Liked our rooms. Could see the river. Food in Sportsbar was very good. We won in the casino. I want to add the bedding is lovely soft comfy.
The Ameristar is lovely but it is showing its wear. Cracks in shower, baseboards mostly scratched, it seemed smoky by the elevators to the rooms.

Great location and friendly staff.
The room was clean, but the hotel was not. There were pizza boxes at the entrance to the hotel elevator, that were there when we checked in at 3, and still there when we checked out. The slot machines had multiple empty drinks at them, and overall, was not clean.

Breakfast was good. There was limited options for dinner. Was disappointed at the lack of table games offered. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The location was good.
There could be more options for dining. We were disappointed in the lack of table games offered. Also, while playing machines or at the card tables I think drinks should be comped. I definitely would like to see a better variety of card games at the tables.

The whole stay was awesome! The layout of the room was well thought out. The jacuzzi was superb, the room was spotless and that shower was gorgeous!!! It was our 5 year anniversary. So we really enjoyed our stay !💫💫💫💫💫
The only thing we weren't too jazzed about was the smell of the lobby. We understand it's a casino, but the smell of cigarettes lingered from the entrance to the elevators. Thankfully you couldn't smell it once you hit the 4th floor and there was no smoking allowed where we were so we didn't have to deal with the stentch of it for too long. Also room service wasn't available that day, unfortunately. We could've used some treats and champagne. But no biggie :)

Nice room. Food and entertainment on location.
I hit the superspin in the casino and only won 20...scam. If you are going to win the minimum...it should be only as low as the other two bigger hits...which I think were 43. Lame.

Location was great. We go for the casino and enjoyed that. Our room was great except I requested a walk in shower but didn't get it.
I requested a walk in shower when I made my reservation because I am slightly handicapped but did not get a room with that request and I made the request when I made my reservation. My son and I have stayed at Ameristar several times and have always enjoyed our stay.
