Do Better

Between Hotels.com and Holiday Inn, the overall experience was awful. I contacted hotels.com and Holiday Inn to reschedule my visit because there was an blizzard. I was completely and totally ignored. Even if it were to say, no, tough luck with the weather, that would at least be some communication.

Broken pool and hot tub

I came w kids for the pool and hot tub. Both have been broken for months but they still list them on their website. False advertising. We would have gone somewhere else

Pool was closed for maintenance. The sister hotel was kind enough to allow guests to use theirs. Just a bummer as we were looking forward to use of the hot tub. That was the only downside. Happens. Just unfortunate.

Employees were very friendly. Pool was down and no hot tub at the hotel next door they said we could use. That’s the only down fall of the trip.

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!
