Smoky smell is a turn off
Room was beautiful and comfortable... lobby reeked of smoke from the casino. I requested a room far away from casino after reading many posts regarding that, so we didn't have issue in our room

Fine Hotel for Small Town, Not Many Ammenities
Hotel is fine but haven't been around smoking rooms in a long time and it is an option on the first floor. We stayed on second floor, so not as noticeable but still aware of lingering smoke. Rooms do not have microwaves or small fridges, which we have become accustomed to. No deal breakers, just need to be aware of

I have stayed at The Wild Rose many times and it has always been a great place to stay. However I do really miss the restaurant upstairs and the hot breakfast. For the special winter rates you can't beat the price.

A Nice Place
It was a nice place to stay on our way to another destination. We didn't do anything in the small casino, but it seemed nice. The morning breakfast was good as well.

No TV service while there but they compensated us with either a food voucher or gambling voucher. Better than I expected for sure!

The biggest negative was the smoke. For a non smoker it is hard to tolerate. The room has no fridge & microwave. The pillows were just mangled & horrible.
Pros would be the excellent service by the gentleman waiter at the sports bar/ restaurant. The food was very good too.

Small town casino with average amenities. There is a very small non-smoking section at the casino but does not really matter because it is still heavily smoky. The whole casino smells of cigarettes. The staff was very friendly, rooms were clean but not updated. Overall a great stay, just stinky.

The hotel is older but clean . You do get the smokey smell from the casino downstairs. The room was a nice size and comfortable. We missed breakfast as it ends at 9. I would stay again for the price.
