The rooms are new and clean but they are not all luxury. Ours didn't have some basic things that other hotels have like a coffee maker or microwave in the room. We only saw two rolling carts for luggage so we had to carry our stuff on the way out. The staff at the desk were pretty meh. I feel like a hotel should never tell a guest, "I don't know." I'm not expecting bellhop or concierge service but, "I'll help you find what you need" would have helped this stay not feel overwhelmingly poorly timed. In addition, the train goes by mere feet from the hotel, as quiet as a train can be, but I'm sensitive and I didn't sleep but my wife slept fine. We were on the other side of the hotel and our view was the neon casino sign. The beds were comfortable and linens clean. The shower has an open side and it's brutal to have that cold blowing on you while you shower and after you finish. Last, because of the river wall, I couldn't see the river or a view of much from the third floor walking around. If a view is important, make sure your room is high enough and on the riverside. I was able to get the room on discount from the approximately $140 regular room price, but my next stay in the Cape, I'm staying away from the river & Riverview. Please note: this review is for the hotel only, I did not enter the casino or Starbucks. I did price out the two restaurants (menus in room) and one was expensive, but is a fine dining restaurant.

Great Economical Place to Stay

It was a great place to stay. Even though a casino is attached to the hotel, it seemed like we were in a nice secluded area of Cape Girardeau. Everything was like new and very nice. Even had a Starbucks so we were able to get a refreshment before we got back on the road. The only down side was that it was about five miles from the interstate but it was a minor inconvenience. Would love to stay there again.

The rooms and beds are awesome.

This new hotel has beautiful annd spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The mattresses and bedding were amazing! Two things would have made it perfect: Microwave in room.; although there was one to use in lobby area. Some sort of filter machine to deal with the smoke smell in lobby. It is expected in the casino, but not when you walk in the hotel front door.
