What guests think

Reviews of Laughlin River Lodge describe a budget-friendly, riverfront casino hotel with a private beach and kid-friendly extras, but recurring complaints about closed pool, limited dining, strong smoke odors, dated rooms with old TVs, and inconsistent maintenance.

Many guests like the reasonable prices, river views, and the large general store, bowling alley and arcade. Housekeeping and room upkeep draw mixed feedback, with multiple reports of dirty linens, dusty furniture, and maintenance issues, while others found rooms clean and beds comfortable. Service ranges from friendly and accommodating to slow or unhelpful, and check-in lines and key card glitches appear in several reviews. Expect a basic, older stay best for river access and low costs, not full-service amenities.

Plenty of games for the kids and even games for adults inside the casino/bar areas. Live music, beach access on the river, cheap general store with good merchandise. This place is a gem.

Pool was empty, no fridge or microwave, needed more pillows and all the ice machines were not working. The general store was great and the bowling and arcade. Water pressure was nice. Did all our gambling at other casinos because we wanted electronic roulette and black jack machines.

The bad… 1. Lighting in the garage was not working on the second or third floor. 2. Pool permanently closed. 3. No restaurants. 4. No table games. 5. Ice machines don’t work. There was a note on it to buy ice in the general store. 6. Escalator was broken between 2nd and 3rd floor. 7. Flooring at main entrance was held in place with masking tape. 8 Room had noisy A/C fan and a ‘tube’ Phillips television. 9. Two elevators were whining badly and in need of service but still in use. 10. They took 3 pictures of the drivers license with a cell phone to join the players club. 11. Could not ‘check out’ via the TV. The good… 1. Check in was swift, efficient and friendly. 2. Room was clean with plenty of hot water. 3 Property has a private beach on the river for guests only that was well kept. 4. River Walk was very nice with Water Taxi stop at the property. 5. Price of the room on a Friday night was VERY reasonable. Finally, would I stay here again? Yes

Pros; rooms were clean, river accesse is great and good price for drinks. Cons; disappointed that Cafe was shut down and there is no pool for those who like to have a pool. Good price for rooms, hotel is good to stay at if you're planning to spend most of your time a the river.

The hotel had amazing customer service, their general store is open 24/7 and they serve hot food all day. The only thing I will say is I did not see anywhere on Hotels.com that said their pool was out of service due to maintenance but it was. The hotel’s website itself does state that clearly but I did not book through the hotels website, I booked through Hotels.com. Other than that they hotel offers a “private beach front” on the river that’s amazing and worked out perfectly since the hotel pool was not open.

The good: The staff seemed exceptionally courteous, polite and warm. Hard workers over Thanksgiving holiday. Great job. The store was generously stocked. Prices for food and drinks seemed downright cheap. The Bad: The Casino floor reeks of cigarettes and bad ideas. The 13th floor room smelled fine though. Not pet friendly, except service pets. The Ugly: Door key problems. Very frustrating. The pool is closed. Most escalators were out of service.

The room was filthy. Stains on the carpet, bed sheets didn't appear to be washed, hair in the tub and on the bathroom floor, 2 of our 3 lamps in the room did not work, the pool on the property was closed, this was not made apparent by Expedia or the property. . When talking to the front desk they said it was listed on their website, this was true however it was buried about 3 pages in. We heard numerous other guests with the same complaints about the pool and the dirty rooms. Very disappointed with Expedia and the Laughlin River Lodge for this booking. I have many pictures of the disgusting room!

There were a lot of stains on the sheet, and the linen had a very strange smell to it. Our room had river view, but we couldn't even see much as the window was extremely dirty. The desk mirror and the desk itself were also very dirty! In the edges of the carpet you could see lumps of dust! They also tell you that if you want housekeeping service, you have to be out by 8AM.. after a night out...who would be out at 8AM? Never had that before! Not entirely sure if I would or wouldn't stay here again, because although I expected the room a little cleaner, I liked that they had a bowling area for the kids, and Dottys, La Villita, Bourbon Street, and Points all in the same building!

Dirtiest hotel by far in Laughlin. Very outdated rooms, broken furniture. Dust comes out from the AC vent, it looks like the vents have never been cleaned. Will never stay here again. We had reserved for two two nights but after seeing the horrific condition of the rooms we checked out after the first night!!

The AC was out in the elevators, in July, too hot for that. The pool was Closed. None of the ice machines on any of the floors were working or available and our room was dirty. Dirty like pull the bed back and there was a urine stain in one bed and hair in the the other bed. It had never been cleaned prior to us being checked in. Upon further inspection- the bathroom counters were dirty as well. We were quickly moved to another room on another floor. While moving we noticed trash just bagged up in the hallways/ sitting out. I never once saw a housekeeping cart. I’ve stayed here many times. It has never been like this. Never.

The room was spacious, but difficult to find plug -ins for my devices --- under the desk and behind the headboard. I would describe the hotel as being "old-fashioned." Waited in line at check-in for about 30 minutes - would hope that process would have been faster. Overall, everyone was nice and it was clean.

Our family has been staying at this particular hotel for 10+ years now this is probably the last time we’ll be staying there as the service was terrible. The staff’s customer service was not good. You were very rude. The credit card machines throughout the hotel were non-functioning for the most part of our stay and the ATM that we were directed to only dispensed hundred dollar bills, which were not accepted at any of the bars Food areas, or the general store. This was a very disappointing trip

Riverside location with a private beach and river walk access earns praise, along with views and a quieter vibe than some neighbors. A few mention limited walkability to other casinos due to closures nearby.

Limited place to eat. A actual restaurant or 2 would be nice. Only food is pre-made and microwaved. Not real meals. You actually have to leave property for a real restaurant for decent food. Which is EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT! As location not walkable to other casinos that actually have returants you have physically drive to get food. Its called a resort? Noway shape or form is it a resort. No resort amenities. Majorty of rooms are VERY OUTDATED AND JUST NASTY! This place has a Major electrical problems. Was freezing whole time on casino floors. I was informed by a employee that it was kept COLD To keep the slot machines from overheating? In August

Little disappointed in the food options and really nowhere to dine. Everything at the "eateries" were on paper plates. Liked the downstairs bowling and arcade area. Disappointed that he non smoking area was very very small and pretty much open to the whole rest of the establishment and still smelled and air of smoker's. Not great for someone with asthma. Will say that the staff was very receptive and quick on providing a free medical refrigerator to my elderly parents. Father is diabetic and needed a fridge for his insulin.

Very small beach area that is very rocky and fills up quick since there is no pool... Everything just seemed very run down and not taken care of very well. All the restaurants are shut down the only place to get anything is there little general store the only thing good there is the beer is cheap...

Property has SO much potential but it's like the owner is trying to get bad reviews and close down. Should just sell to someone that will fix everything! Absolutely ZERO effort, its frustrating and you can tell the employees are frustrated too!! Wouldn't take much to make this a nice place
