The last time I stayed at this casino hotel. I woke up to Bed bugs crawling on me. I complained and all they did is put me in a different room. No refund, no comp, no nothing. You would think with all the money they make. They would compensate me somehow. I had to quarantine my entire luggage. Total inconvenience. The management in this place is terrible.

Plenty of slot machines. Lots of table games and all the workers I interacted with were polite and respectful.

Great Valet service right away when you pull up, parking and Valet parking is free if you're staying at the hotel or going to the Casino. Our rooms were nice, beds were decent and the pillows too. The view of the water was my favorite.

The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Valet named Curtis is wonderful. The hotel desk staff was very efficient and friendly but seemed stressed with too much to take care of (phones ringing, lines at all times, bell hop and gift shop.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a desk, seating area (love seat), refrigerator, coffee maker and a good size closet. Housekeeping needs to be more thourogh. I felt confident that the linens, toilet, shower and tub were disinfected but the floors, surfaces, coffee maker and refrigerator were not clean. I always pack dish soap and clorox wipes due to this issue. The people who stayed before us left greasy handprints in the shape of feet on the walls, furniture, mirrors and windows that housekeeping missed. The refrigerator was full of ice and needed defrosted plus the exterior of the appliance and shelf it sits on was very dusty. There were minor maintenance issues for example, the front panel on the tub was cut short so the plumbing was visible and the toilet was leaking behind the tank near the shut-off valve. I expect better from Ameristar.
The casino was fun! There is a good variety of slots, sports betting and table games. Again the staff was outstanding in the casino. The restaurants have a nice variety of food choices and price points to fit most people's needs. I would highly recommend the Red Lotus, it is a hidden gem. The food is amazing! There isn't much seating and they are only open 6-10p but definitely worth checking out. My favorite is the Thai Chicken Coconut Curry....yum!
Overall, our stay was great because of the wonderful staff. We will be back :)

I'm only giving the service of four stars because the guy who helped us with the bags was very nice but far as the room they never wanted to fix that bed. They didn't even care so you can go look at it. They already knew it was broke. We fixed it but it fell back off
