Our carpet had a medicine pill and a sunflower seed so it clearly wasn’t vacuumed. Also the floodlight shining in our window all night was a bit of a disappointment.

We arrived later in the evening. I had booked the room months in advance for the premium with river view. When we arrived we stood there waiting for a while before someone greeted us. Once there we go up to our room and it was a view of the parking lot and smelled strongly of cigarettes. I went down and was informed they were over booked and did not have any other room available but they could come up and spray the room to help with the smell. She also stated she would give us 150.00 hotel credit for food for our inconvenience. We thought that was generous and sufficient. Next morning we leave to go to the zoo. We arrived back at the hotel late afternoon maybe 3ish. We opened the door and immediately hit with a sewer smell. The smell was so bad my husband said not even he could deal with it. He's a commercial plumber not unfamiliar with smells. So he went down to the desk and they said they had a room available with a river view. So we moved rooms much much better. We had breakfast at Guys both sat and sun neither meal going over 50.00. So only using 100.00 of the 150.00 hotel credit. Tell me why they charged my account 95.70? That should have been covered by the hotel credit. At check output i did not sign a receipt nor did i ever receive one.

The desk clerk was friendly and was willing to help with accommodations for a handicapped person. Our biggest complaint was the beds in Room 104. Those platform beds are horrible for senior citizens who are handicapped. They are hard and low to the floor. Very bad.

I would have given an excellent rating except for one thing. If it were small, I would have ignored it. Check in desk, two female employees that have very un-inviting looks on their faces. They are usually the first people you meet at a hotel. How they greet the guest is the first impression of the resort. No smiles, no hello’s - ever. You walk past to head to the casino or out of the building it’d be a glance up, eye roll and a frown. Complete turn off. Guy Fieri’s was awesome! Fun employees! Beds very comfortable. Floors could use vacuuming. Nicest person was the head of security. Nice, informative and his smile reached his eyes.

The staff were some of the friendliest people I’ve ever had at any stay. Especially the older gentleman working at the bar of the casino, in the morning. All 4 days, he knew exactly what I wanted and pretty much started it when I was walking in. Loved Guy Fieri restaurant. I left the casino/hotel when my daughters made me.

This place did us dirty. Literally. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Friday for our check in. We were told there was zero of our room type available ready for check in, and it could be another 3 hours before it was, they didn’t know how long. At this point we had been traveling for 27 hours straight and just wanted a shower and to relax for a bit, not to wait 3 more hours. So what do they offer us? They put us on the pet friendly floor, claiming it’s all they had available. We reluctantly accepted, as again we didn’t want to wait 3 hours for a room which should have been ready a minimum of 2 hours before our arrival . What a horrible decision that was. We should have just not checked in and left. The hotel was NOISY, dogs barking ALL night , thin walls where you could hear the people next to us talking and hacking up a lung all night , and a Loud air conditioner that seemed to never shut off. We checked out early the next morning and staff didn’t even bother to ask how our stay was. Just grumpily took our keys and handed us a receipt. Harrah’s /caesars should be ashamed of themselves with their service from this property. I will definitely await their response.
