WaterView Casino & Hotel

About The Hotel

WaterView Casino & Hotel is a 3.1-rated, 109-review property on Washington Street along the Mississippi River. The hotel offers a low rate starting at $85 per night, with a casino, pool, bar and lounge, and river views. Jetted-tub rooms are available as a specific room type to confirm at booking. However, candid reviews flag dated rooms, shower pressure issues, water-damaged woodwork, and inconsistent upkeep. One reviewer noted mildew in the shower and water-spotted mirrors around the jetted tub. The property has potential but requires careful room inspection. Smoke from the connected casino can permeate hallways.

What Guests Are Saying

“I was a little nervous to check-in here, because of the reviews. However was pleasantly surprised. I called to ask if I could check-in early, the lady politely told me she could let me check in by 2:30, I wasn’t arriving until past 3 anyway. When I checked in, the front desk clerk (Sondra) was super nice and accommodating. She made sure I was in a river view room and answered multiple questions that I had about the area. Incredibly sweet lady. The room was gorgeous. It was clean! I see what some might have mistaken as mold.. it’s mildew in the shower and you’re on the bank of the Mississippi River. Common sense goes a long way. The air conditioning in the room did struggle in the afternoon. Once again, you’re on the bank of the Mississippi River in May. A cool May, but still incredibly humid. Closing the curtain to the sun really helps this in the afternoon. Will definitely stop here again!” — Shanna M., 5 stars

“We were excited for this location, however a few things put a damper on it. There was only a dribble of water coming out of the shower in room 311, it was unusable. The elevators sometimes worked. And the back area facing the Mississippi left a lot to be desired… It had so much potential.” — Sightsee161250, 2 stars

“I chose this for the advertised balcony overlooking the Missippi River, which was a very lovely view. It is listed as a non-smoking hotel but with a connected hallway between hotel and attached casino, the smoke has permeated the lobby and elevator. Everything about the place seems dirty. The “check-in lady” was just plain gruff - not welcoming at all. There is no in-room coffee, the lobby coffee machine is gross. The only positive I can share is that the room was spacious. It came with a hot tub (in the bed room). The mirror around it was so water spotted - having not been cleaned, who would want to use the tub? The bathroom woodwork was seriously water damaged and not repaired. Do not recommend and would not return.” — DL G., 2 stars
