You can have a nice quiet weekend or crazy weekend. Your choice. The casino is nearby and a few bars. Whatever you do, stay at the Empire House. It takes you back in time with decor in the rooms. And, price is amazingly bc affordable. Some rooms have kitchenette's. Some are like a small apartment to accommodate 5-6 persons. Call ahead and plan ahead, the rooms go fast. You will not be disappointed.

Throughout this week, we were provided decent food and excellent customer service. Staff were incredibly hospitable and always took great care of the group. The food was decent, about what you'd expect for large quantities of food being prepared at once. As far as the rooms go, they were clean, though a little bit dated and could use a good update. There was a bit of a lingering smoke smell, even being on a non smoking floor. Overall good experience and decent stay.

The restaurant selection was limited to three options. An upscale steak restaurant, a sports bar and a cafe. The casino was fine, but if second had smoke bothers you it will Be an issue. The bar in the casino was always backed up with a long slow moving line and the prices were not discounted. Overall, it was fine, but it definitely did not blow me away. Edit: I took this down to two stars. I got this morning to no hot water. Last night my wife said she got lukewarm water for her shower. Hot water is an expectation for any hotel and especially a place that clams it's a "luxury resort". If you look over my review catalogue you will see I give out 4/5 star reviews fairly regularly and 1/2 stars is rare for me. This was a disappointment from Belterra.

The hotel is quiet and has all your usual amenities like a fitness center business center, and pool. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is in a place with a lot of restaurants and shops. If I'm back in the area, I will likely stay here again.

Roadtrip to The Ark Encounter one overnight. Lawrenceburg, Ohio for May 3, 2026…read more Our experience was horrible in regards to bed cleanliness, bathroom cleanliness and customer care/service. When we were getting ready for bed, we turned down the King size bed in room 624, the fitted sheet was stained with a medium sized skidmark (fecal matter) showing the linen had not been washed or maybe changed. Further examination showed the stain passed through the fitted sheet down through to the mattress cover. The mattress cover itself had additional stains that resembled bed wetting with severe yellow staining on the rt side edge, with splattered brown stains on the side of the mattress cover. We did not discover the condition of the bed linen until we turned the bed down at 11:30 pm. We immediately called the front desk to report the issue. It took 2 contacts with the front desk to get sheets which did not fit the king size bed because they were queen flat sheets and no fitted sheet. She alleged there were no King fitted sheets available. The long haired redheaded young lady who brought the flat sheets was not kind or helpful when she informed us she was 5 min past her shift and she was unable to do anything more for us. We told her to please find a fitted sheet for us. She returned with a fitted sheet but when we tried to make the bed, it was a Queen size sheet!! She reluctantly went to speak with someone who might help us obtain a fitted King sheet. The next young lady who brought a fitted King sheet was even more curt and unkind. She brought the correct size fitted King sheet but had a harsh rude tone and way of handing it over. I tried to show her the condition of the bed but refused to come in and see it stating she was not allowed to come into the room, even though the other young lady had come in when I wanted to show her the foul condition of the shower and bathroom floor; red mold throughout the lower tile and edge of the shower pan. The bathroom floor had not been vaccumed or swept before we occupied the room The two young ladies we dealt with, did not treat us with kindness nor in a professional manner... it was as if we were a bother. We took pictures of the soiled bedding and will email a letter to corporate when I find the address. I do want to give kudos to the check in clerk, Venus, who was friendly and professional. Manager Ashlyn seemed genuinely concerned about our horrid experience. Ashlyn was kind and professional. The welcome complimentary Chocolate Chip cookies were super delicious and a surprise to us at check in. I cannot recommend this hotel and I hope this experience is an anomaly. Because of the overnight employees' lack of interest to resolve the issue at the time it was discovered... I will not return... Oh... and the sheets appeared to be so old that the weave was shred in several areas. There was no microwave or refrigerator. We found out later we could have separately rented them had we asked for them. But they should have given us the option. We were advised that only suites were equipped with a microwave and refrigerator.

As soon as I walked in I was greeted with smiling faces from Melanie and Jacob. When I got to my room I could tell that Angee (housekeeping) had done a great job and given me a clean room.

Big thanks to Melanie, Mariah, Neleigha, Hannah, Jacob, Hayley, Justin and Tim for making my down time entertaining and making me feel welcome.

When we arrived, we found out from the woman at the front desk (about 2:30 pm on 3/22/26) that our…read morereservation had been made through Priceline. We thought we had reserved directly through Marriott but she said third parties often mimic the original hotel's websites. (Sure fooled us! We had no idea this could happen.) Despite that, she helped us get a river view room, about which we had telephoned the front desk earlier in the week, even though it was not the room to which we were assigned on arrival. This lady was VERY helpful and certainly represented Marriott well. The room she assigned us was a king studio and was lovely, and it DID have a river view. The hotel is delightful: elegant inside - nice common spaces, quiet elevators. Our only complaint was that breakfasts on weekday end at 9 am. While this makes sense for business travelers, a lot of the folks staying here, based on who was at breakfast at 8:45 am, were tourists. It would be nice if Breakfast were open until 9:30 or even 10 AM, as we have found to be the case at other (equivalent) hotels at which we stayed on this trip. Very nice hotel. We will return.

My first morning, I went to the lobby to have coffee and to study-at 6am-and the music was blaring-not just in the lobby-all the common areas in the ground floor. There was no escaping it. I asked a staff person if it could be turned down...she said no. "The owners won't let us-they think the upbeat music is a good way to get people in a good mood. So many people have complained about it." The movie 1984 immediately came to mind. Extremely overpriced-nothing to offer except VERY expensive snacks and water. I won't be back.
