I usually love the isle of Capri casino! I've been going there for 15 years they have great machines, easy to park, nice people and usually play a great mix of music. Well that all changed on Saturday Jan 9th! I was there from noon until 5pm and the entire time they played the loudest most annoying Country music! Every single song was back country, gun touting, achy breaky , whiny, crying country crap. After 2 hours, clearly noticing that was all they were playing I asked an employee what was going on. He said " I know everyone is complaining but I'm not the DJ and the DJ likes country music." I am fine with diversifying and hearing a country song amidst their normal fabulous playlist of rock and pop but all day country is a big mistake as it is actually offensive to many people! I had to leave early as I felt sick from the ear assault. I can't help but ask myself what message is the isle of Capri trying to send . They only cater to country loving people? Big mistake in this age if diversity. Will never go there again if this is all they will play! read more

This place SUCKS!!!! Bunch of WANKERS!!! Terrible customer service!!! I would give a NEGATIVE 5 STARS IF AVILABLE!!! Be careful when booking reservations here...they pull the rug out from under you...even when you book the hotel room with a credit card. Piss poor customer service! Showed up for our wedding night stay (prior to our real fun trip) arriving at 9:30 pm, 30 minutes prior to 10PM...when it was told to us we had to be checked in by! They still gave our room away!!!!! WTF???!!! To be fair....They did comp our room and meals, but the room they placed us in sucked big time,old outdated, and NO JACUZZI!!! AND ** WE ** RESERVED**** the room with the Jacuzzi!!!

Poor poor poor customer service! SAVE MONEY, TIME AND HEARTACHE...STAY AT AMERISTAR!!!! AMERISTAR CUSTOMER SERVICE AAAAA+++++++ STAY AT AMERISTAR!!!!!! read more

Stayed in Lady Luck Towers, 12th floor and the scenery was fantastic! The room was spacious, clean and modern. Finding the place, parking and getting from the room to the casino was a simple as can be. The staff was friendly as well. I expected much less out of the visit from other reviews and was pleasantly surprised to see just the opposite. read more

They are sooo nice!!! Our battery died over night and they are happy to jump start it for us. Also, we got a bunch of free stuff.

All the rooms at Isle have been renovated. They look great. Plenty of parking in the parking garages and a nice property all together with a cafe, buffet and high end steak house. You really cant go wrong staying here. Especially after the renovation. read more

Very rude. boss at the caps table made jokes at my 'expense'... I'm well into 6 figures a year, I've gambled in many states and countries. I won, but was so pissed at the staff, it felt like a loss. Lady luck is in the building and they at least pretend to want you there! read more

O...m...g. My friend and I went 02/28/15 and it was ridiculous! We reserved a suite at The Isle (like we always do). When we got there not only were we told that our room with one bed (lol, for the two of us to share I guess) was all the way at The Lady Luck, but we couldn't get the room that we were expecting. All I'm saying is, if you're promised something then you automatically assume that's what you'll get when dealing with a business, and The Isle is generally pretty good about that type of thing. So anyway the facility EMT had to wheel my friend over to Lady Luck (she just had knee/hip replacement surgery) and I got to sleep on a lovely cot that evening. For somebody that looks forward to a quick getaway to this place, and usually has a good time, it was such a disappointment. read more

My friends and I stayed at The Isle Casino last weekend. We had never been to Black Hawk before, so it was something new for all of us. The front desk staff and the guys working at the Tradewinds Market were all very friendly. The security at The Isle and Lady Luck were also very friendly. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Stayed at Isle of Capri last night, and the Casino experience was the absolute worst of any I have ever encountered. All of the machines I tried to play by the Cashier had to be cashed out by a service technician after a long wait. If the machine did spit out your ticket, it would not work in any of the other machines. I spent most of my playing time standing in line at the cashier's office. Many of the machines were 'out of service', and this was before 10:00pm. The room was way overpriced at $219, and overall it was a horrible choice for a place to stay and play in Blackhawk. read more

If you play take games here, plan to stand in line for 30 minutes if you want to cash in your winnings. They only have one cashier spot and they did not have enough cashiers. read more

Great place. Friendly dealers, good parking and great room rates. It also have very easy access when driving in from Denver (or Loveland in my case). read more

May 20 2015 we hosted a dinner for clients at Farradday's at the Isle Casino Hotel Black Hawk. Thanks to our server, Lee, and his manager, our clients had a wonderful meal and evening. Great food and great service -- we highly recommend and will certainly return! read more

We stayed here on our way passing through the mountains because they were having a sale for around $88 a night. We didn't visit the casino, so I can't comment about that. But the room was nice, clean, and had a huge bathroom. There weren't any carts available to help us haul our stuff upstairs (we are gluten free and have to carry a lot of food around with us), and the woman who checked us in let us use the front desk's cart if we promised to return it. =) Of course we did, and appreciated her help making our travels just a little easier. My only complaint is our view--a little strip of parking lot and a high cut-rock wall. Very disappointing when you are in the Rockies! If any gluten free folks are wondering about the food options: 1. There is no grocery store in the town, so you are out of luck there. 2. The buffet was like $17 per person, which is pretty expensive for only being able to eat raw veggies from the salad bar. 3. There was a fancy restaurant next to the buffet, and they say all their steaks are gluten free. But to get a full meal there, it would be like $50 per person, which is even worse than the buffet, although you would at least get food to fill your gut. In the end, we had supper and breakfast in our room with food we (luckily) had brought along with us. read more

Nice hotel. Buffet was good. Friendly staff and great customer service by the manager.

I called the casino and asked if they accepted pets and the person that answered the phone stated YES. I said thank you and the phone conversation ended. I then made a reservation online. I arrived with my two Chihuahuas and mother in law. When we arrived the woman who checked us in was very unfriendly. I did not get a welcoming feeling as we approached. She then informed us that we had to pay a $200.00 deposit for our pets and she had to check to see if any pet friendly rooms were available. None of this was mentioned to me during my phone call. In addition to this there was a $50.00 deposit on each room I rented and a $25.00 cleaning fee on with the pets. I do not mind the cleaning fee but was not prepared for such big deposits on the rooms. I have traveled to many great hotels and have never had to pay such a big pet deposit. At the desk we canceled our reservations and loaded back up for the trip back to Denver since there are no other pet friendly hotels. I decided to call the supervisor before we left to see if he could work with us given there was not information given to me during my phone call before I made the reservation online. He stated there was nothing he could do for me. So back we went to Denver. So the hotel lost our 2 room cost and the money we would have spent for dinner, drinks and gambling. If they would have reduced the pet fee or something that would have made me feel cared for I would have never written this review. However, we are back in Denver without getting to have our night of fun..frustrated with the lack of caring and customer service that the Isle of Capri has provided. We will never be gambling or staying there again. read more

Husband and I came up from Denver to stay here for a quick little getaway. The floor we stayed on was above their "smoking floor" which caused our room to reek of cigarette smoke. There were stains on the carpet and the water pressure in the shower came out as a trickle at best. The TV in the room had an option where you can check out of your room by selecting this service, but it would not allow us to do just that when we tried it. We complained of the smell in our room to the woman at the front desk during check out and she simply said that they are getting ready to renovate. Didn't even offer an apology for our inconvenience so we are never staying at the Isle again. read more

What a CRAP HOLE....Blood stained sheets, cigarette burns in the carpet and bed.......mystery stains everywhere.......GROSS

Very disappointed! The hotel staff are so rude!! They give us a smoking room when we don't ask. We cant sleep in a expensive hotel room with all the stinky smell. At the casino the ask me for my ID every five minutes just because I don't consume alcohol? read more

Very disappointed... Could not get a waitress for a drink. We waited 1.5 hours at roulette table, asked bartender and manager.... Still could not get service. They say 24/7 serving but your lucky if you get 1 glass of wine. Rooms are descent . Service sucks !!!! read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. The customer service at this hotel was horrendous. They wouldn't let us check into our room until an hour after we were supposed to and just made us sit in the lobby. The people at the front desk, including the manager were demeaning and treated us very poorly. They were rude and did not do anything to accommodate us. They didn't even say sorry about having to sit and wait for an hour(after traveling several hours to get there). I reached out to them the week after but never heard anything back. The staff is rude and management does not hold them accountable. Worst place to stay in Blackhawk hands down. read more

My husband and I planned a night away at the Blackhawk, Co, Isle casino. We have heard of their promotion of offering a free hotel room if you play poker for at least 6 hours. We had called, inquiring and asking details. The person that answered confirmed they do comp the hotel room if you play for 6 hours. Nobody mentioned that the deal is available only Sunday through Thursday. My husband drove there on a Friday, played poker for 6 hours, mentioned on different occasions that he wants to play for 6 hours to get the room comped. Nobody bothered to bring to his attention the fact that he was not going to be able to take advantage of the promotion because we had went on a Friday. We had asked to speak to a manager, which was a waste of time. The manager made us wait a good while, in the end, when he showed up he had the worst attitude. He had very poor customer service skills and was of no help. All we wanted to do was to bring to his attention that he should make sure the employees give out complete, accurate information to their patrons. He could care less and basically blew us off. So, we are very disappointed in our last experience there and, needless to say, we will not be coming back. read more

Worst buffet ever!! One long line for everything. You have to wait through everything to get to anything. They need to break up the the serving line into several tables. Half your food is cold before you even get through the line. They also need a vacuum and the carpet was sticky. If the front is that dirty what is the kitchen like???????? read more

ok, lots of things I hate I about this place. but then again, lots of things I love about it. so lemme show the love first. Poker room: WOW!! they just opened up a poker room a few months ago and if you play poker at all, this is the joint. first off, since it's so new, they're really pushing the promos. I get way more comps playing in the poker room, than I do playing at the table games. play 3 hours and get $20 in food comps. play another 3 hours and get a free night stay in the hotel. (sun-thurs) I think I have to play about 30 hours on table games to get those same comps, all while losing money to the casino on the BS games. And look, don't go to ameristar just because they have a $200k bad beat. Ok, maybe go to ameristar when the bad beat gets that big. but when it's not that big, come over to the Isle's poker room and get way better comps than ameristar gives out while you wait for the bad beat to get bigger. Also, there's a ton of flat screen tvs, so you can watch sports if you've been sittin and grinding it out on the cash games, waiting for your stupid pocket rockets, because you're too stupid to know how to play any other hand. casino: once upon a time, this casino used to give the best comps. But I guess the economy finally took it's toll, and they decided to stop being so generous. It used be something like playing 24 tracked hours of 9/6 JOB @ $25/hand would get you into the premier level. Now it's something like 700 hours. but they still have some pretty decent VP machines for JOB and DDB. The blackjack is just ok. H17, DAS, RSA. and the drinks? well, you can order a cognac or stoli martini, but it comes in a plastic cup? Hotel: ehhhhhhh. I shouldn't complain because it's so easy to get a free room. steakhouse: one of the best in blackhawk. they have a steak called "the Tomahawk" 32oz ribeye with a rib bone still attached to it. It looks like a giant tomahawk. the servers actually knew the finer points of fine dining, and the wine list was pretty decent. Orchid Garden: the new asian restuarant they've been pushing. Not bad. maybe 3 stars. food is hit or miss, but way better than a lot of choices up here. The pho is good for blackhawk. but it aint gonna beat no Federal ST, Denver, Asian Compton pho. the service, WTF. We had a great bartender who was friendly, talkative, and always checked on us every 10 minutes. but the 2nd time we came, we got the most retarded, obviously not trained, or bitchy waitress. . decor: pretty cheesey. but they've been improving. Once upon a time, there used to be a parrot cage in the lobby filled with annoying little bastard parrots mimicking everything you said. I've also heard they will soon get rid of the palm leaf carpeting throughout the casino read more

I would give a zero if it were possible. my boyfriend took me up there to celebrate a 9 year anniversary and the first room we were in had holes cut into the blanket and no internet...they switched us rooms without upgrade and the second room had nails..yes nails sticking out of the walls.....not only that but the room hadn't been cleaned. It had the window falling out of the track.....(we were on the 10th floor.) then the light switches didn't have knobs for the fan and light. the mini fridge had no shelving to put anything and again no internet. So when we called down again...the supervisor on staff laughed at us. hard core laughing. not only that but when i asked for maintenance to be sent up she scoffed. finally agreed and then they came up fixed a few things and left...still no room upgrade or move. they slipped a buffet coupon under the door..then....a few hours later we hear a horrible scream and thuds. more screaming and so we call security and the couple in the next room were not just fighting but beating and from what we were told attempting if not succeeding rape. so they called the cops....we tried to do everything in our power asap to help the girl but the cops came and arrested the guy. we were only then offered when we asked for a refund for the two days we were going to stay, a suite. since it was early and we hadn't slept yet early being 5 am. we accepted the suite/ slept through that day and due to life and us not being able to get away again decided to PAY the next night for the same room so we could have some sort of anniversary. nope...we went to get fresh air in the night and opened the balcony to find puke....yes puke all over it. wafting into the room. they hadn't cleaned the balcony before they checked us in. we left. we tried to call the manager all week. got ignored and finally got a hold of him and he refunded us and that was it. he didn't even try to say anything to the effects of sorry that this was a monumental awful week for you. just sorry i didn't call you back....your money should be in the bank in a week or so. one staff member was nice while up there but it was ruined. the whole thing. never stay there.. isle is a little better with cleanliness..yet then again that's where the vomit suite was. i can't believe how we were treated! read more

Bleh all the machines were tighter than a nun. Waitresses were like hunting after the elusive yeti trying to get a drink. However if you didn't care to embark on the perilous journey of getting a simple beer you're more than welcome to walk up to the bar where they CHARGE you! Unacceptable to me when I'm blowing hundreds of dollars and not even experiencing the blue ball rush of a basic b*tch bonus round on any of the slots. (Which they are ever so stingy with as well). read more

Don't bother staying here. The hotel walls are paper thin. There is virtually no poker and if you go to the bar, they limit you to one drink per half hour. The owners should sell or shutdown their operations. It has become a embarrassing joke. I will be staying at the ameristar casino when visiting Blackhawk, Co from now on. read more

The casino was alright but the room was terrible. They have no temperature control (as you would expect for paying $170 a night for a room). It was about 85 degrees and couldn't sleep at all the whole night. I would never go back here, pay more and book early to stay at Ameristar. read more

As we continue our tour of the southwest casino worlds we had to include Black Hawk, Colorado. We stayed here at the Isle of Capri which was decorated more like the isle of Philippines. Between the altitude, over 8000 feet, and the green stripes on the walls complimented by the large pink and green flowered wallpaper, I felt I might be ill. So, yeah we went to about 7 of the many casinos in this canyon. I felt a bit claustrophobic the whole day. I will say, the drive is too beautiful to describe, and I understand Colorado didn't want this little old mining town to deteriorate away and needed something to get people to come here so it was decided to take this historic mining town and turn it into casino alley. Very little remains of the history, I couldn't even find a T-Shirt that said "I went to Black Hawk", it's all about getting revenue for the state. I guess if you live close (Denver?), you might visit. I have to comment to Cindy L.'s review - Are you kidding me? Have you been to Las Vegas - in Nevada? Have you been to Black Hawk - in Colorado? read more

The cocktail waitresses were rude, Jason's attitude at the Calypso buffet was uncalled for, never again will I go and I'd recommend AmeriStar if you're going up to Black Hawk. read more

The fact they don't label any allergens on their food is ridiculous. Having to ask about every single item in their buffet shows the lack of class this hotel and restaurant have. I've never seen a buffet never label their food, even dormitory buffets have the curtesy. Want to have a good experience, go somewhere else. read more

This is a review of the buffet. We chose to go to this buffet over Ameristar on a Wednesday night because they had crab legs and Ameristar only has crab on the weekends. Seiously, this is one of the worst buffets that I have been too. The food was cold, had little to no flavor. Even Country Buffet is better and I really don't like that place either. The desserts looked amazing, but only the creme brulee had any taste. I am surprised how bad this was. The steak was very dry and tough, the crab legs were cold and WAY over cooked. I am not sure why the other reviews were so flattering, but I assume that the weekends have better selections and higher turnover of food, so that it stays warm. I have never been dissappointed in the Ameristar buffet, so I will be choosing that one in the future with or without the crab. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The WORST casino I've ever had the misfortune of stepping into. Every 2 seconds my friend and I were getting ID'ed. The place is dirty and small. The costumer service is horrible everywhere from the hotel to the buffet to the bar to the tables. We will never return. read more

Slots are fun, but in my opinion the buffet is not farm to table. I feel that's just a gimmick they use to get people in the doors because everybody is all about farm to table nowadays. I know I am. To me, their renovation did nothing except change the look of the restaurant and create an excuse to charge more for the buffet. With the seemingly lack of food selection for what is considered a buffet, and having had only 1 plate, I feel jipped out of the money for this one. The servers are great, but to me, the food could have used a renovation as well. I'm done with this place just for the buffet alone. Sorry Isle. Plus they don't seem to host 'crapsless' craps anymore. read more

I like this place, clean, food is good, and generally quiet with no smoking smell, the only drawback is that I noticed a few dogs in the hotel, uhh, who wants to have a room that has dog dander, hair, and a dogs back side on the chair and bedspread, I hope they limit dog rooms and don't rent them to others who enjoy cleaner rooms, the rooms are secure for access and hallways were clean, staff is very good, would give it a 4 star except for the dogs. Folks, leave the dogs at home for pete's sake, leaving them alone in the rooms they bark and who knows what else. read more

RUDE front desk. No temp controls in room. Terrible check-in times in at 4pm out by 11am and no flexibility at all. We felt like cattle. Comfort Inn decor (not so nice). Suites are laughable. Floor personnel service is pleasant. Overall experience says "never again". read more

had a great time at this hotel, i would say though that i liked the lady luck casino more than the isle of capri. the only down side was otis and henrys, i would advise to not go here for breakfast. the people at the front desk are very friendly and the tables were so much fun, read more

Not a cocktail waitress in sight! We sat at a table for 30 minutes and was not able to get a cocktail. The pit boss was very rude when we asked if a waitress would be coming by soon. Not a very enjoyable experience. read more

Stayed in the hotel in September great service had fun gambling came back for my wife's birthday we sat down stairs gambling for 2 hours before I saw a waitress to flag down for a drink and got a rude response never had that issue in a casino before read more

Hotel room was nasty. Bathroom had dried urine on toilet and on floor. Pubic hairs on floor. Toothpaste in the sink. Both chairs in the room were grossly stained and soiled. Obviously they don't care since they are sold out most weekends. We stayed on a Thursday in room 944 and will not stay there again. read more

If you are planning to get to Blackhawk for some gambling and fun be sure and check out the NEW buffet, NOW open.. The food was well prepared and the new atmosphere was great, the wait staff did an excellent job of serving as well as keeping your table serviced, so you can get MORE.. My fav was the smoked prime rib as a main dish along with a couple of crab legs, and there was a great variety of sides and of course an excellent variety of good desserts. small portions of desserts made it nice so you can try a FEW. The chefs deserve this credit as they have done a fine job in creating such a great tasting array of good food. Drink a little and EAT a lot and enjoy your trip to the "Farmers Pick Buffet"!! read more
