We like to play penny slots, not big gamblers, but wanted to check out a different casino than Az and Vegas ones. As you walk up there was a small, tiny, miniscule sign by the doors that said "90 percent pay out". WOW....that's way better than Vegas Main Strip Casinos. $10 on penny slots got me $150 bucks! I was happy and walked out with my money, oh and did I mention it was $10 in FREEPLAY?!!?!? Will stop again!!!

They had tons of parking, multiple entrances, no issues there. Smoking was seriously aggressive. I know it's a big part of casino culture but even in the non smoking area it was A LOT. They did have a few easy to get to fast casual food options which was nice. The greeter did ID me but look the longest time to "check" despite scanning the machine, wasn't the friendliest. This older lady was a bit confused on where to exit and instead of him saying "please exit over here" he just pointed and assumed she knew what he meant. I think it was like 90% payout. If you cash out with change you can donate it otherwise you lose it.

After 12 hour drive want a nice hot shower and bed. Turn on shower and dead fly comes floating by. Then toilet was never cleaned! Inside was gross! Dirt and hair in corner of floor by shower. Dirty used Kleenex, hair and dirt under counter in sink. So gross! Beds were made and there were clean towels. I didn't even sleep on sheets because I didn't know if they were actually clean. See pics. Will never stay there again! Also, never came to clean room or bring more clean towels.

I arrived on a Tuesday at 2pm and they had a room ready for me in the 1st floor. I was greeted at the front desk and told about the free breakfast. My room was clean. The bathroom was good as well as the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows also were fluffy and the room smelled clean. The room has a big selection of tv channels and the WiFi was easy to connect to. Being on the 1st floor I thought it might be noisy but it was extremely quiet. The breakfast had a good variety of options and I would say it is just as good if not better than some Hampton inn breakfasts. I would recommend staying here, would go back.

He still said he couldn't find it. I showed him a screen shot of my reservation, he continued to say he couldn't find the reservation. I brought up the Bring Fido app and showed him all the reservation info. He was telling me I needed to "step aside and contact the third party who I made the reservation with"... I was shocked... as I mentioned we needed a dog friendly room suddenly he "found" the reservation... he claimed someone else had checked in under our room but he did find the reservation. By this time my wife came up to the counter because she heard other guests waiting to check in talking about my trouble checking in. When my wife questioned James about how someone else had checked in under our reservation and the fact that he wasn't even offering any type of apology he shook my credit card at her and said "ma'am, I can still refuse your service". I was absolutely appalled. More issues at checkout when they claimed my card was declined for the pet fee and I had to go back after checkout to swipe the same card I gave them and it somehow went through just fine. Terrible experience. Terrible customer service. Awful reservation experience. I would give zero stars if I could.

My experience, and I've stayed many times because it is convenient to get to the casino, but I…read moredon't think I can continue. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! And I'm not someone who even bothers to write negative reviews! 1. Rewards member?- they stopped giving snacks to rewards members, which was okay, not great, but what made it worse is they offered a small bag of pretzels and noted I was "lucky" I could get that, with a sassy attitude. Didn't feel very lucky... side note they advertise complimentary cookies never was any, then when I asked they said it'd be out later, came back later... the whole container was just GONE. Never to be seen again... 2. Room cards - out of both one didn't work (took it back 5X), other cards was defective but after several tries.. finally worked. brought this up. just kept trying the same thing until I couldn't ask for help anymore. the comment card left in the room from the last person staying in our room said the same! Brought that up to the desk, hardly acknowledged it. That was when there was anyone at the desk, no one there half the time and no bell either! No way of getting help if you even tried. 3. Snow removal - was insanely inadequate. I had 4 wheel drive, thank god but my friend was stuck when we left and we had to rock the car until it was loose. At this point we were well aware we were on our own. 4. Hot tub - didn't work for the first two nights. Brought that up to be told to just keep turning it on and off and then it would eventually work. Spoiler alert it didn't! The last night it did work when someone must have fixed it or maybe they just turned it on and off more than the 30 times we tried? 5. Breakfast - plenty of cereal, no milk... 3 DAYS on a weekend. It was obvious everyone was annoyed with this after multiple days. Gas station within walking distance with milk. Something I mean anything could have been done for the short term. Not a breakfast eater, but I do eat cereal. 6. Privacy - one positive thing I learned is that I could fly.. because I had to to keep the housekeeper from almost seeing me naked! She checked her board and discovered we weren't leaving until the next day! Two quick knocks and a click on the key instantly! She was apologetic but it was so so so embarrassing. One or two of these things and that's a mistake, this many (And trust and believe there were others) is mismanagement. This place continues to be more and more of a disappointment. Somehow no one is talking about this online or negative things are being removed. It's no secret this place has no hospitality, its value lies in its proximity to the casino and that's it.

We were in town for a nearby running race, and choices for hotels in the area are slim. This seemed like a newer hotel, the same tier as Hampton Inns.

Her emotional intelligence and leadership style are evident throughout the hotel, and it shows in the atmosphere the moment you walk in. The property is well-managed, organized, and operates with a strong sense of teamwork and positivity. Amy's ability to positively influence the people around her creates an enjoyable experience for guests while also fostering what appears to be a supportive workplace culture for employees. It is refreshing to see leadership that genuinely cares about people and service quality. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through the area.

The pool looked nice though I didn't have time for a dip. The AC was powerful and the room was decorated with black out blinds that were printed with a canoe - functional and very Minnesota! Breakfast was a bit cramped in the front lobby in the morning and the elevator was a bit outdated but beyond that I had a great stay! If you are stopping here I also recommend getting off a few exits west and driving through town. They have a beautiful lake and some good restaurant options outside of the typical chains over by the hotels.

The decor in our room is super cute, with adorable duvets, a gorgeous orange desk chair and mirror (I'd buy both for my home, tbh), and lots of sensible storage. There are outlets for USB and USB-C charging, ample attractive lighting, and you have the option to close the opaque window shade, a sheer shade, or both. You even get your choice of a soft or firm pillow. The bathroom and mini fridge are immaculately clean. I can't recommend this place highly enough. I almost wish we were here for longer than one night, as it really is so nice. It's refreshing not to be grossed out by a hotel. The woman at the desk was friendly and efficient! I would definitely stay here again if I were passing through. I'm so impressed that I forgot to wait until morning so I can comment on breakfast. I'll do that tomorrow. After a gloriously hot shower with moderate water pressure, we're at breakfast. There is a great array of options. I'm having a banana, Oikos yogurt, and an egg white omelet (a circle of egg white and peppers folded in half--genius). My mom is eating her weight in bacon, a banana nut muffin, and a biscuit with sausage gravy. There is sausage, as well as a cheese omelet and a pancake machine. Lots of fruit, cereal, yogurt, bread/bagels, etc. If you're on Mason City, it's impossible to imagine a better option than this Holiday Inn Express. Found the flaw: Fox News on the breakfast room tv. :(
