Fun trip

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.

Deidre

Was told at check in that there was a water main break, given an estimated time of 4-6 hours, not the property's fault in any way. Water was restored 15 hours later, 2 hours before I checked out. Waste of a hot tub room. I wish I had stayed somewhere else.

Room was ready but wanted to charge an early check fee of $10-$20 for being a few minutes early. Check-in is at 4pm vs. 3pm like most other hotels.
