    Pool not open for two years. The drain plug was missing from both drain in shower and drain in bathroom sink.

    Great property to stay at if you are going to the races or casino. The hotel at Prairie Meadows is a little pricey.

    No pool for over a year but was not noted on their site. Pool next door was also broken. Rooms were clean and nice. Breakfast was ok. Went right at the start and hot food was just warm.

    The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice for a short stay.

    We were here for a weekend baseball tournament. 90+ degrees and humid, the boys were playing all day and looking forward to cooling off in the pool. While checking in the front desk employee said " i hope you're not planning to swim" well, yes we are. The pool has been down for over a year and the GM doesn't want to spend the money to fix it. No where on the website does it say this, and there are pics of the pool. I was planning to wash uniforms and was advised that the washer works but the dryer doesn't. Thankfully we packed an extra uniform--there was no way anything would hang dry with the rooms being so humid. I would give a zero star if possible.

    Door to room didn’t lock, pool was out of order and fridge leaked. Overall it was sufficient and clean.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The Breakfast was great, well stocked. The Pool was under construction and was not told about it until we arrived.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Hotel/room was clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. Pool was unavailable which was a bummer but could use pool at next door hotel if wanted. Breakfast was good.

    In darkness, we couldn't figure out why our GPS kept prompting a U turn--- finally I called the motel & the kind gentleman stayed on the phone to guide us to the motel. Apparently, the U turn prompts were due to the meridian (so no left turn into the parking lot). The room heater is very noisy! At 4:30 am, I turned the temperature down 5 degrees but it still came on.

    hotel has been there a while and even with the casino across the street, it's like it's brand new
