Really love the bathrooms with dual sinks and the water pressure was really good in the showers. The bed was a little lumpy in the rooms we were in and the bed itself was very soft... There were some knicks and marks in the rooms too so I think they might need a little refresh soon. The mattresses in the rooms we were in really needed to be replaced. Good location and easily walkable to main street. Very easy access to get into the parking from the HWY and they have a Starbucks inside the property. Overall we had a great stay and will consider to stay again when we're in Black Hawk.

This was my first time staying at Ameristar and will also be my last. I came here for my birthday…read moreexpecting to have a relaxing and fun night, but instead, I ended up spending about an hour dealing with issues with our room before I could even settle in. It was honestly a very disappointing way to start a birthday stay. When we first walked into our room, I was immediately shocked by how dirty it was. There was dirt on the bed, crumbs everywhere, and the room just did not feel like it had been properly cleaned before we arrived. I understand that hotels can occasionally miss something during housekeeping, but this was more than just one small oversight. When you're paying to stay at a hotel, especially for a birthday celebration, you expect the room to be clean and ready when you arrive. We ended up getting switched to another room, but unfortunately, that room had cleanliness issues too. The tub and toilet were dirty, which was extremely frustrating after we had already gone through the trouble of changing rooms. At that point, I was just hoping we could finally settle in and enjoy the night without having to deal with another issue. Then, the next morning, I woke up with bug bites on my legs and abdomen. I obviously can't say for certain what caused the bites or that there are bedbugs at the hotel, but given everything else that had already happened with the cleanliness of the rooms, it was definitely concerning and made me question the cleanliness of the room even more. That was not exactly how I wanted to wake up after coming here for my birthday. Unfortunately, even the actual casino came with its own issue because the craps machine ended up taking my money, and a formal investigation had to be done on the machine. I understand that technical issues can happen, but when you're already dealing with multiple problems during your stay, having another unexpected issue just adds to the frustration. I really wanted this to be a fun and relaxing birthday stay, but instead, I spent a significant amount of time dealing with problems that I shouldn't have had to deal with in the first place. Having to switch rooms because the first one was dirty, finding cleanliness issues in the second room, waking up with unexplained bites, and then having an issue with the casino machine made the entire experience feel like more hassle than it was worth. The pool, hot tub, and casino had some positives, but unfortunately, those things weren't enough to make up for everything else. This was my first time staying at Ameristar, and based on this experience, I don't think I'll be rushing back. I usually stay at the Monarch, and after this trip, I think I'll be keeping it that way. For what I expected to be a relaxing birthday getaway, it was way more stressful than it needed to be.

After we were in our rooms we went down and over the sky bridge over the street to the casino. I went over to the bar but a couple of twenties and the bar tender asked me why I wanted to which I responded "Jameson on the rocks". I was surprised to hear that he could not offer me Jameson for free but he did offer Tullamore which is also an Irish Whiskey. And it's good too so I had no problem. I really enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to the bar tender about the area. The casino is really nice although the girls were not very successful at this casino. In fact most casinos in this town. That is unusual for my wife who normally does pretty well at most casinos we go to in So Cal and Vegas.

Let me tell you about this place…read more.. The frustration started the second we checked in. There was absolutely NO ONE at the front desk. And I don't mean for a minute or two... we waited 10-15 minutes before anyone finally showed up. Once we got into our room, it honestly just felt... dirty. I'm pretty sure the carpet has been there since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The whole room just had that gross, grimy feeling. The customer service didn't get much better. Around midnight, I called the front desk to ask if they had feminine products. The gentleman on the phone said, "Yes, just come down to the front desk." So down I went... only to find myself standing there waiting. Again. After about 10 minutes, I noticed a sign that said to call a number if no one was at the desk. I called and was told no one would be there until the morning. Seriously? Thankfully, another employee happened to walk by and told me there *should* be feminine products in a few of the vending machines. Great! Except... nope. I checked three different machines, and not a single one had any. By this point, I felt like I'd walked a marathon. You know how casino hotels are... everything is somehow a mile away. I ended up rushing over to a different casino and made it with about five minutes before their store closed. The entire stay was one frustration after another. Between the lack of staff, the dirty room, and the poor customer service, this place was a huge disappointment. I won't be staying here again.

This place is a tourist trap. Sadly, there aren't many options in Central City, and Teller House knows it. I'd understand that the place would be expensive, but why do the service and food have to be SO bad? We recommend people bring their own lunch and eat in the opera gardens instead.

DECEPTIVE PRACTICES, DISCRIMINATION, AND STOLEN DEPOSITS - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!…read moreOh, If I could give this place zero stars, I would over and over and over. Our two-night stay cost nearly $1,000, and this hotel still decided to run a bait-and-switch scam to steal over $400 of my hard-earned money. Between the deceptive financial practices, the horrific customer service, and the blatant microaggressions, this was definitely the worst hospitality experience I've ever had. We usually stay at the Lady Luck, but we found a deal and thought we'd try this out. What a massive mistake. The games are nothing to rave about, either. The nightmare started the second we walked in. It was around 11 AM, and before we could even ask a single question about our reservation, a front desk agent named Kari snapped that we couldn't check in early, pointing to a "sold out" sign. Her attitude was snarky, dismissive, cold, and full of bare-minimum effort. We frequent Blackhawk at least twice or 3 times a month at minimum. However, with it being my brothers birthday weekend and he has never been to a casino - I thought a couple days on the mountain would be fun. My brother and I are Black, and my boyfriend is white, and the stark difference in how we were treated felt blatantly discriminatory. We all know what the predominant race is in this area. We should have known to turn around right then and there and stuck with what we knew. I booked through a third party site - which I have done countless times before. And you better believe we were treated like third class citizens. Prior to arriving, I called to find out the deposit. If you look on their website it shows no deposit. On the call, we were explicitly told there would be a total $150 hold total for both rooms. That was a lie. When we finally checked in, another desk representative, Mary Kay, swiped my card without ever telling me the final total. I only found out after the fact that she secretly authorized a hidden $205 deposit per room. Hiding a $411 pending charge until literally after a card is swiped is incredibly shady. Being from Texas, my brother unfortunately got altitude sickness during the trip. However, he completely cleaned up after himself. We specifically brought our own trash bags and Clorox wipes, making sure all trash was bagged and any trash was in the can. We had two double beds in our room and didn't even use the second one. I work in property management--I know exactly what "clean" means. The rooms were used for a couple of days like any normal hotel stay, but they were absolutely NOT trashed. We even took before-and-after photos and videos of the rooms because of the ridiculously high holding fee, figuring a little thing here and there wouldn't hurt, but knowing we needed to protect ourselves. We are going to enjoy our rooms if you are holding my money that we couldn't even use. Completely unexpected deposit and I only wish now that I had turned away. When we checked out no one was at the desk. It was rather early as I had to work, but still just before 9 nobody at the desk to checkout is pretty bad. No one emailed me a receipt. I had to call. Super sneaky. Turns out they had one r missing from my name when the clearly had my information with the correct spelling.. yet another thing that felt "off". I should have stuck with my gut. I could've received my credit for Hotwire and would've booked the two rooms at Lady Luck. When the pending charges posted today, I saw they kept the entire $411.88. I spoke with a representative named Holly, and then dealt with a supervisor named Tony "once he finished his lunch" I was on hold for nearly an hour total the three times I called to reach someone. Tony was incredibly rude, dismissive, lackluster, aggressively lying to me by claiming the rooms were "trashed" and took "longer to clean." Yes, we were in there for a few days, so of course it takes normal cleaning - that is literally what hospitality is. But using that as a fabricated excuse to steal a deposit is actual fraud. I will get my money back one way or another, and I will never recommend or stay at this horrible, swindling hotel. We will stick with Lady luck. We get our deposit back instantly. Grand Z and Maverick is a disgrace of a hotel/casino. With the Z Casino closing, they must be struggling financially, but you won't use unfair business practices with me. I am a licensed bettor, I know the ropes, and I am reporting this scam to the gaming board, my bank, and several other regulatory entities with my video and photo evidence attached.
