Dj- great place
And down for one night for a production at the Orphium Theatre. We like staying here because it close to the theatre and the zoo. Also we always have great service. Will be back again. Free breakfast is also good.

I love this property. This is the 2nd time I've stayed here. I love the pool and large hot tub, behind tinted windows, over looking the Missouri River, it doesn't get any better! The food options are great! Also, having a Riverboat casino attached is a bonus!

Scammers and horrible
So the stay was for three days and three nights the cleaning ladies did not come once we asked for them several times at the front desk and they never came so we did not have a room clean for three days no clean towels no clean dishes nothing so we cleaned up as best we could, and then when we left, they tried to charge us for a cleaning fee. These people are scammers
