Loved having the little kitchen with the fridge and microwave. It had a stove top but we went out to eat. The bed was comfortable and clean, the bathroom was just the right size for two people.

We will be coming back in October.

I also appreciate how they have a large snack bar, breakfast, ice cream, and bottled water. In fact, I'm currently having an apple while writing this review. Our king suite is very clean and organized. Although we won't be needing it, I like the idea of a curtain separating the bed from the rest of the suite. And I also like the night light for the restroom. The sliding door for the restroom is slightly difficult to find at first, but that wasn't that much of an issue for us. The air conditioner is somewhat loud, but I feel like it could be used as white noise for people who enjoy ASMR, white noise, ETC. The chair that goes with the desk is somewhat bouncy, but comfortable. I enjoy spinning in it. I also like the mini kitchen. Not that we personally will be needing the dishwasher, it's still nice to have. I appreciate how all of the floors have ice machines. The one on the 4th floor is out of order at the moment, but they haven't put a sign up stating that. I quite enjoy the general layout of our suite. The restroom is very cozy. Small, modern, and minimalist, which really suits my style. The shower was very comfortable as well, the water warm. To top it all off, I enjoyed my second cup of hot chocolate from the lobby--it's been a cozy little experience. I had a good night's sleep overall. However, the neighboring room had their TV on quite loudly, and I could faintly hear it through the wall while lying in bed. The air conditioner also woke me up a few times during the night. The selection of breakfast food was decent. It took a little while for my mom to figure out how to use the waffle machine, though. A sign with instructions would be nice. There were plenty of places to sit. It's slightly difficult to find where you put the dirty trays. I also think there should be a sign with instructions for that. It's very quiet down there, which I apperciate. The check out process is very simple and fast. We will be back in the near future.

We arrived at an odd moment, with better timing than other guests: the electrical power in Joplin…read morehad been knocked out for hours that afternoon, and even after it came back on, the hotel's computer system and elevators were not fully functional. Other people had been waiting 2 and 3 hours to check in, or had to haul luggage up 4 flights of stairs to their rooms, whereas we waited 15 minutes to check-in and had to go up 1 flight. Thirty minutes later, the elevators were working, too. The woman working at check-in was all by herself and incredibly pleasant, even as she was understandably frazzled. I really wished she had some help. Or a big hug from someone at the end of the day. I hope the company recognizes her for working hard in extraordinary circumstances. We had a suite, and it was spacious. Our teenage son used the fold out sofa bed while we had the private bedroom. A bathroom was accessible from both rooms. The kitchen at the entrance included a full size fridge with big freezer, which was great for solidifying the packs from my cooler. There was also a microwave, dishwasher, and a coffee pot that we didn't use. We did find a broken thing in the room, the security brace at the door. We tried to set it, and it fell onto the floor! We let the front desk know about that as we left. The bathroom was handicap accessible and had a tub with a hand wand as well as an overhead nozzle. Everything in the bathroom functioned. The bed was comfortable. I couldn't hear noise from the corridor during the night, but there was noise from occasional trucks and that was quite loud. The overall location of the hotel was nice. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance. Lots of gas stations and other shops, too.

I expected a smoother and more professional experience. Unfortunately, the issues did not stop there. The night before the end of my stay, the staff threw away food I had for my four children, leaving us to drive all the way back to Omaha without refreshments or food for the return trip. This was extremely upsetting and unnecessary. When I brought the issue to management's attention, I was told they had checked the cameras, but there was still no clear explanation for what happened to my food. My question was simple--if the food was not supposed to be thrown away and I was not checked out, then where did it go? My keys stopped working on Sunday evening, but my check-out time wasn't until Monday at 11 a.m. When we came back from the store, I had to replace the food. I took my babies to the pool, but I couldn't enjoy it. An excessive amount of chlorine was used. Later that night, we went out for dinner, and when we returned, the key card stopped working again. At that point, the clerk pointed out that we had been checked out of both rooms. We were unaware of the situation, and compensation was offered only as a refund for our food loss, which was granted only after we faced significant resistance. We just wanted a simple apology and the reactivation of our room key cards, but we had to go through unnecessary steps to achieve that small goal: the hotel reconnecting with its guests. After all the grief, later that night we heard sirens, and our phones stated that we were under a tornado watch. We were not notified of any safety protocols or of an area to take cover. We only learned of these designated areas from other guests as they ran down the hallway in fear. For instance, a lady was weeping in the elevator we were in on the way down. We told her to come with us, and that's how she became aware. She was heading in the wrong direction in the lobby with her partner. Overall, the incident was very unpleasant due to a lack of professionalism, poor communication, the exorbitant price for two rooms, and disregard for guests' belongings and safety. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves both customer service and accountability for future guests. I hope this organization does not treat guests like this often. Safety should be a priority.

They're spacious and don't look like a chain hotel, with a cookie-cutter layout and amenities. We've stayed here before and the only complaint we previously had was the lack of open restaurants (weekdays, only 2 options) and something to do besides gamble. With Joplin only 15 minutes away, you're not going to starve. Compared to other casinos/hotels, Downstream is left a bit lacking. I know this may sound weird, stating you didn't want to gamble in a casino, but this place is a convention hub. So they could add something to accommodate the variety of tastes of visitors. But the facilities are very nice!

Funny she chose this casino. She just wanted to relax, use the spa, swim and gamble. As I right this it is 8pm at night and we still have not been able to access our reserved rooms on her 60th birthday. I tried several times to speak with someone in authority about our situation and was given the RUNNAROUND. Eventually someone told me that a lady named Kelly was in charge of the entire casino at this time. I as to speak with her to explain our situation. She showed up and after explaining everything in great detail she told me there was nothing she could do. As check in time was at 4pm. Remembernwee arrives at 1230 with prior reservation weeks ago for her 60th birthday. She said it was policy and she had no authority to make exception. She said she would check into the matter immediately, which she did and got back to me. She told me the same thing that check in time wasnatn4pm and there were no exceptions per policy. Even though I explained to her that we are members and come her often and have never had this problem even without a reservation. She said she wasnsorry that is policy and there are no exceptions. When I asked is there were managers above her it was like pulling teeth. Wow, this was my wifesn60th birthday. I am sending this as a future customer service courtesy. I have been a top executive for a city before I retired and good customer service was and is a priority, and yes, sometimes there are certain circumstances where things go wrong and fall through the cracks and don't align with policy. That's why we have management on duty to correct those some what unfair mishaps, as they do occur from time to time. Kelly make it clear she had no such authority to rectify our situation. So my wife never had access to the spa or pull. If the tone of this email indicates that I am more than frustrated, to put it politely, I AM PISSED!!! Sorry, but it was my wife's one single special 60th birthday celebration day and choose your establishment. What a severe let down. I will be posting this on every social media I have access to to share our horrible experience. I really hope some one reads this and make some changes in the future toward good customer service!
