The Ameristar Casino Hotel East Chicago absolutely exceeded my expectations! The room was honestly one of the best I’ve ever stayed in — incredibly spacious, spotless, and so comfortable that it felt like a luxury retreat. I went during an off-season day, so the price was very affordable, which made it even better. What I loved most was how the hotel feels like a true escape — once you’re inside, it completely takes you out of the surrounding area and immerses you in a relaxing, upscale atmosphere. I would 100% stay here again!

Casino was fun, staff was GREAT. Room was ok. Non-smoking, but smelled a bit smoky, & the bathroom sink ran slow. Nice view of Lake Michigan. We’d stay there again.
