Southeastern Kentucky is a place that's experienced (and continues to experience) a lot of hard…read moretimes. So, it's hard to be too critical of anyone trying to make a go of it there. This is the only bed and breakfast that we could find for miles and miles in any direction. Nonetheless, I must say that we were rather disappointed by our stay at this place. The cons: The bed and breakfast is actually owned by the same person who owns the enormous Hampton Inn right next door, so it feels just like part of a big hotel empire, not a homey B&B. The owner doesn't live in the B&B, and they also did not have a cook when we were there. So, instead of being treated to a delicious home-cooked breakfast, we were told to walk over to the Hampton for their breakfast. (we made our reservation online, and didn't find this out until we arrived). This was a major disappointment. Also, the room we stayed in was bizarrely paneled in pieces of pine 2x4. It kind of felt like being inside a cedar chest, not really in a good way. It was otherwise fine but nothing to write home about. The pros: The lady who greeted us was extremely warm and friendly even though we were an hour past check-in time. They also let us use the pool at the Hampton. Across the street is a nice park where there were a fair number of people out for a stroll or bicycling somewhere or playing with their kids, which was pretty heartwarming. If you have to stay in Pikeville, this is probably your best option. But if I were doing this again I'd probably try out one of the mountain resorts or parks nearby.

This Huntington B&B is a bit misnamed. There are two rooms, a well appointed living room and a…read morebedroom with a queen size bed. There's a small kitchen and the bathroom is good. There is a view of the Ohio River from the couch (that becomes a bed) through a flood wall opening that provides a nice view over a static Pullman car that's part of the visitor center. The HVAC is quiet and efficient. The Chessie Room is on the second floor of an historic building and one must climb stairs to get there. The TV is awkwardly located in the bedroom but is offset by excellent WiFi. The breakfast part is a chit to Butter It Up! in the Market Square on 3rd Avenue, a 15 minute walk away but with a parking lot behind the building if you don't want to walk. If you do hike it you will pass Pullman Square and several restaurants that you may want to try later on. The menu is worth the walk. From the Chessie Room it's a ten minute drive to Ritter Park, as fine a city park as will be found anywhere. Value wise it's very good, in part due to the location, and in sort due to the comfort of the Chessie Room proper.

The HVAC was being worked on while we stayed there so it was pretty hot in the main areas, but glad they are updating it. Dee at the front desk was incredible - she was so friendly and helped with all of our booking and switching cards etc. The breakfast was good, all the staff we encountered was friendly and very responsive. Rooms are pretty basic and could be updated, but for our needs were fine. They had local WV products for toiletries which I thought was cool. They also have a GREAT gift shop, I never buy from hotel gift shops, but this one had so many great unique finds, I had to get some. The indoor pool room was insanely hot - not sure if that was due to the HVAC being out or they just keep it at that temp, but that would be the only con for me. It was kind of unbearable to sit and watch the kids swim. Didn't seem to bother the swimmers at all though. I loved that they were pet friendly and we were able to bring our dog with us. It was only $40 for the whole stay rather than per night. They had a dedicated pet area very close to the room for us to take him out. Would stay here again.

(5/5) I Came to…read moreGamble...I Left with New Friends and a Slight Liver Injury Visited: Tuesday, July 28, 2026 I've played blackjack in casinos from Oakland to Reno to Vegas Montreal to Detroit to Tunica, Mississippi to Atlantic City hell even to Metropolis, Illinois. This little casino just off from Charleston, West Virginia? Best. Single. Casino. Experience. Of. My. Life. No, it isn't the biggest casino. No, it isn't the fanciest. The décor has an older, darker feel with warm tones, and some people might describe it as a little worn. I'd describe it as comfortable enough to accidentally spend your mortgage payment in. My buddy Brett and I sat down expecting to kill an hour before continuing our drive to Pittsburgh. Three hours later... ...we were still there laughing our heads off. The blackjack tables were outstanding. The players actually knew how to play, which meant no endless debates over whether to hit a 17 or split tens. The games moved at a great pace, everyone was having fun, and despite only walking away about $40 ahead, I honestly couldn't have cared less. In fact, I probably tipped away more than I won. Worth every dollar. Then there was Dakota. Dakota isn't just the best blackjack dealer I met on this trip... He's one of the most entertaining dealers I've ever played with. Somewhere between doubling down and busting the table, we learned he plays bass for the West Virginia metal band Dismember the Outcome. By then the table had become less of a blackjack game and more of a comedy club. We laughed so hard that I genuinely forgot I was gambling. That has never happened before. And then there was the pit boss. I think his name was Dave. Imagine a sharply dressed casino supervisor making sure every blackjack payout is correct...then casually jumping into a conversation about the Lamb of God concert he had attended. That's when I realized this place was different. Behind every suit was somebody you'd happily have a beer with. Speaking of beer... Whoever told me drinking is West Virginia's state sport may have been onto something. Because the real MVP of the afternoon was our cocktail waitress. At one point Brett and I had become just intoxicated enough to loudly yell across the casino for another well vodka shot and Diet Coke. Classy? Absolutely not. Professional? Definitely not. Her response? Without missing a beat she smiled across the casino floor and said, "I gotcha, hun." I swear she covered fifty yards faster than a wide receiver running a post route. By the time I blinked, the drinks were already sitting in front of us. There are Southern belles... ...and then there are Southern cathedral belles. She moved through that casino like the patron saint of thirsty blackjack players. If that's what being welcomed through the Pearly Gates feels like, sign me up. And if, through some clerical error upstairs, she's tending bar somewhere a little warmer... ...well, at least I know the cocktail service will be phenomenal. By the time we left, I'd probably spent almost $100 tipping dealers and cocktail staff, and I don't regret a penny of it. Casinos often try to impress you with marble floors, giant chandeliers, and flashy architecture. Mardi Gras Casino impressed me with something much rarer. People. Wonderful dealers. An unforgettable pit boss. Fantastic cocktail service. A table full of smart players. And enough laughter to carry us all the way to Pittsburgh. Five stars without hesitation. We'll be back. And when we do, somebody tell Dakota to shuffle up...we've got another three hours of stories to tell.
