Unforgettable trip
Worst trip ever after first night room wasn’t cleaned following day and the towels were removed but not replaced with fresh ones. Room key had to be rekeyed numerous times normally worked for one entry then next attempted entry would not work. Very inconvenient had to go to front seat to get rekeyed.

This is a run down outdated hotel with advertised pictures that don’t match the facilities actual amenities. The breakfast was very limited; although, they advertise a full breakfast. The swimming pool wasn’t an updated one not to mention from the looks it wasn’t sanitary. The bar area was outdated, one low budget tequila, and the casino only had slot machines, are you serious. Please tear down and rebuild or spend on updates for this outdated facility to the standards of travelers looking for a great quality stay that matches the prices you’re charging!

Service was very helpful. First room the tv didn't work but they gave us a new room asap. Not much of a view but very clean, spacious and comfortable. Elevator was suspect though. Made lots of noise and vibrates.

Everything is great about the casino except for the one thing is that I don't get rooms comped to me like I do at the other Boyd properties. If I did I would probably visit more often. I can go to Sam's Town in Shreveport even on weekends and get free rooms also most of the time at the IP. If you can do that I might come more often. This is the closest casino to my house.

The pool was slimy… no one should enter it.. the hot tub was not much better… the room phone did not have a cord.. so I guess the phone bill saves them money… the room A/C leaked inside the room.. sure there is mole under the carpet… I did a staycation to rest and relax in the indoor pool just to be very disappointed.. so not worth staying at this local facility… don’t waste your money..

Key did not work properly and had to stand fiddling with it for some time (even after getting it reset); sheets were never changed (stayed there seven days); staff entered room even though I had Do Not Disturb sign and left dirty towel and feces in toilet! Filed a complaint and was called once; tried calling back but did not get a callback (I was making arrangements for my sister’s funeral, so I could not continually call). Breakfast was good.
