What guests think

At Rising Star Casino Resort, reviews describe a split experience between the main casino hotel and the Lodge across the parking lot, with off-site check-in and limited on-site staffing creating inconvenience, especially for guests with mobility needs.

Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed, with reports of dirty rooms, worn decor, empty toiletries, and occasional maintenance issues, though others found spaces clean and comfortable. Amenities get lukewarm feedback: the pool and hot tub are appreciated but limited by hours and the Lodge lacking a pool, while dining options can be closed or limited with inconsistent quality and higher prices. Overall, expect a basic stay with dated rooms and uneven consistency across cleanliness, service, and amenities.

It was good! Only had a few items that we needed such as wash rags and bathmat that was missing and shower door that didn’t work right! Also the carts for luggage were not good at all!

I went to a play golf. The course was in great shape. They put me in the Lodge which was across the parking lot from the casino. My room was nice because But housekeeping forgot to clean it out the refrigerator. The buffet was nice, but not worth thirty seven dollars. If you live in the southern indiana northern Kentucky area, I recommend it for a nice weekend getaway.

It was a good price. Would be nice if the lodge also had a pool. Also, it would be nice if kids could swim past 7pm in the pool. Other than that, the room was big and clean. Had everything we needed. Warm, friendly staff.

This is not a normal hotel. It's a building that used to be a hotel. You have to go into the casino across the parking lot to check in. The hotel looks like it hasn't been maintained for 30 years. Wallpaper peeling off the walls everywhere you look, dated furniture in your room that is torn or worn, the beds are old spring type. I went out of my room at 1am to get something from my car and when I tried to get back in, my key card wouldn't work. Most hotels that's not a huge deal but at this one, you'll have to go across the large parking lot to the casino, then you'll find no one at that front desk with a sign to call security. Security did a nice job responding and got me into my room but what an inconvenience to deal with in the middle of the night!!!

A bathroom light was burned out. Pendant lights were dusty. The body wash provided in the shower was empty (an unfortunate finding when you’re already wet in the shower) no attendant at the building ( the front desk people are in another building)

The room was dirty, cobwebs where behind the chair , night stands baseboards where filthy no one came to put linens in rm on the second day we where there, it’s pretty bad when the customer has to walk across the parking lot to go get their own linens and then walk back to their hotel with them. That’s pretty embarrassing.

I was in a detached portion of the hotel with no signage that you had to drive a few hundreds yards to the casino to check in. The hotel was clean but bare bones and worn. No services or continental breakfast. The phone in the room didn’t work so had to drive back to the casino to checkout. Staff was not very welcoming or friendly either

I love the beautiful scenery and how clean everything was My only concern is that we didn't get clean towels or room service the whole time we were there. We saw the cleaning staff on our floor, but it looked as if they were only cleaning the vacant rooms. Had to use the same towels for 3 days 😞😞!

We thought we would be staying at the casino but they put us in the Lodge. Hard to maneuver with a handicapped party. Only had towels for 2 in a party of 3. The desk person went above and beyond and offered to bring them when she got off of her shift but there was no one else to bring additional towels to us. We just went the next day and got some. Would have rather stayed at the actual casino.

No staff at front desk, had to check in at main hotel- would be more difficult for someone who had limitations or handicapped. A good option for the area though- on website rooms were sold out and/or very high priced- Expedia had rooms available and very reasonably priced. Only two cars at hotel when we arrived!

Location

Convenient to the casino and area attractions, but the split layout places some guests in the Lodge across a parking lot, which can be inconvenient for those with mobility challenges.
