Wild Rose Casino & Hotel Emmetsburg

nice casino

Lots of parking and easy access. Though both my friend and I tripped on a broken sidewalk.

The smoke is pretty overpowering when walking into the lobby. it eases somewhat in the hotel, especially on the upper floors; but remember smoke does rise.

Our room was great and roomy. For a smaller hotel you can't much better, you can smell smoke when you first enter the place but not in the rooms.

Casino bar, restaurant, quiet. We enjoyed our stay.

The prices of the hotel stay was very reasonable. Room was clean & comfortable. Staff very courteous. Unfortunately altho the bar & grill downstairs was closed. So were all the same upstairs. Casino closes at midnight. After spending the days at Clay County Fair it would have been nice to have those amenities open to relax in.

Disappointed with lack of fridge & microwave. Very sad breakfast offerings as well. Didn't come to gamble but very surprised that casino opens on the late side (11 a.m.) compared to other places we've gone.

Nice property to stay at. Luckys restaurant had a great vibe with its friendly staff, multiple TVs to watch sports and variety of seating.

Clean, comfortable rooms; nice sports bar & grill; friendly staff.

Parkking was easy as was registration. Room nice and clean. Did not like the smoke smell in the air as soon as you walk thru the doors.

Would not stay here again. The hallways and room had a lingering cigarette smell that has been embedded from years of smoking from the casino. The longer you stayed in the room the more noticeable it became. As long as smoking is permitted in the casino, the rooms will always smell like cigarettes. If you don't like the smell, do not stay here. It's inescapable.

This place is very outdated. The elevator doors very very slowly open and they slam shut. I was scared I was gonna get stuck on it. There is weird smell on pillows and beds feel like they haven’t been updated in 20years. Hair in bathtub and on sink. Smells like stale cigarettes in here. There was dust on tables and remote like no one has been in this room in long time. I also have never been in a room that has a sharps container on the bathroom sink. By far worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

There was pubic hair on the bathroom floor, had and face prints on the windows and very questionable stains on the couch. I was scared to pull the blankets back to lay on the bed. The staff was friendly

Nice stay, front desk staff was very nice and accommodating. Bed was a little too firm for my liking. Bathroom was clean as was the room!

The smoke is pretty overpowering when walking into the lobby. it eases somewhat in the hotel, especially on the upper floors; but remember smoke does rise.

Wouldn't recommend even to my least favorite coworker. Our check in experience took 15 minutes and the staff were pretty rude. Once we got to our room, we found that every piece of furniture was stained and smelled, the bed was terrible, and the pillows needed replaced 10 years ago. For a king sized bed there were only 3 standard sized pillows as well (not that big a deal.. but come on here, you're attached to a casino. You can't spring for a few more new pillows??) There is no microwave, mini fridge, or shades. The AC system blew out a horrible wet smell. The carpet felt like walking on sand. The bathroom was filthy- the toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile and the shower head had massive build up from the hard water- it too looked like it hadn't been cleaned in what very well could be a year. The towels, bedding, and other soft surfaces all felt like they hadn't been properly cleaned in several guests. The outlets in the room were all unsafely loose minus one that was behind a side table. Pretty thin walls, we could hear the people next to us using the bathroom (uncomfy). Overall this hotel was dirty, unaccomodating, and a horrible experience. We couldn't wait to check out the following morning.

Clean room

Staff very accommodating, room exceptional in cleaniness, did enjoy the food at the bar and grill

Very clean

The room walls are very thin. I could hear a normal conversation in the room behind me. They were not loud and I could hear most of the conversation

Wish the room had a microwave and a refrigerator as i usually take food when i travel for work.

Hotel is fine but haven't been around smoking rooms in a long time and it is an option on the first floor. We stayed on second floor, so not as noticeable but still aware of lingering smoke. Rooms do not have microwaves or small fridges, which we have become accustomed to. No deal breakers, just need to be aware of

Room smelled like cigarette smoke. The remote didn’t work that good. No frig or microwave in the room.

The only thing I didn’t like was that there was no working TV in the hotel! For 2 days I had no TV that worked. The most disturbing part was that no one that worked in the hotel seemed to care!

Disappointed with lack of fridge & microwave. Very sad breakfast offerings as well. Didn't come to gamble but very surprised that casino opens on the late side (11 a.m.) compared to other places we've gone.

Rooms are dated. Need new bedding,pillows and mattress

The rooms need refrigerators in them to be complete other than that they are very nice.

The sheets were awful and abrated your skin. The bed was very lumpy. The room was very old and dated, the soaps in the soap dispensers in the bathroom should’ve been reviewed and changed out as they smelled old. The continental breakfast was vending machine level food. It was quiet. The staff were nice. This place needs a serious overhaul.

It is cheap. That the only positive. The casino isnt bad just a little small. Wish they had craps. The hotel on the other hand was terrible. The beds are so old and worn out. Very uncomfortable. The whole hotel has no working television which they inform you at check in and offer a $10 credit to there resturant as compensation. This place need an update.

The room was quite nice and the staff was very friendly.

We checked in and went to our room. The toilet wouldn't stop running. The gal at the front desk said that she could put us in a different room. I told her that wasn't necessary. Just send someone up to fix it. Oh, there's no one on staff to do that today. She gave us another room. It was a smoking room. It smelled like a dirty ashtray. We stayed anyway. I will say, the beds and pillows were comfortable.

Clean, comfortable rooms; nice sports bar & grill; friendly staff.

Another nice stay. First room had an issue they could not correct and they got me moved into another right away.

After reading some reviews, my expectations were low, however I was pleasantly surprised with the exception of the strong smell of smoke in the public areas. I asked that they put an air ionizer in our room before check-in, and they did do that as our room smelled fresh when we entered. The room was clean, but slightly dated. Carpets seemed newer and clean. The breakfast was indeed continental as advertised, but not great. Prepackaged cinnamon rolls were very cold. I ate my breakfast in the room because of the smoke smell in the breakfast area. The staff was friendly. If you plan to stay, I would definitely recommend requesting an ionizer before check-in, since there are smoking rooms on every floor, so there could be some smoke smell drift even though your room is non smoking.

Check in staff seemed rude. Like us showing up took thwm away from qhat they were doing.

19 mins to check in, reserved via Expedia, lady had no clue how to check me in thru Expedia. Pathetic

Close to road

Good place, clean, convenient to casino.

Lots of parking and easy access. Though both my friend and I tripped on a broken sidewalk.

It was a nice place to stay on our way to another destination. We didn't do anything in the small casino, but it seemed nice. The morning breakfast was good as well.

Went to Clay co fair and was a close distance from Spencer where motels are jacked up 3x the normal price.

Had a pretty lake outside our room.

No breakfast.

Nice stay. Complimentary breakfast was a nice attempt, especially in a casino, but not great.

One small restaurant.

Overall it was a good experience. Our big issue was there being no refrigerator or microwave in the room. Bar and grill in building had friendly staff and good food. Bed was comfortable. Continental breakfast was a big fail.

The prices of the hotel stay was very reasonable. Room was clean & comfortable. Staff very courteous. Unfortunately altho the bar & grill downstairs was closed. So were all the same upstairs.

Clean, comfortable rooms; nice sports bar & grill; friendly staff.

The biggest negative was the smoke. For a non smoker it is hard to tolerate. The room has no fridge & microwave. The pillows were just mangled & horrible. Pros would be the excellent service by the gentleman waiter at the sports bar/ restaurant. The food was very good too.

I have stayed at The Wild Rose many times and it has always been a great place to stay. However I do really miss the restaurant upstairs and the hot breakfast. For the special winter rates you can't beat the price.
