It’s a bit run down, but the rooms are clean. Staff if helpful and the continental breakfast surprised me. Better than Super 8, Motel 6 or some other Indian owned motels

My husband got sick while we are in town visiting family and I had to take him to the hospital which left me needing a room unexpectedly as we were supposed to travel home today. I checked around a few places but decided to try this motel. I am so glad I did. The ladies at the front desk are so kind and compassionate. They are accommodating to my pit bull and I. She even got a dog biscuit and pats! It may be a little dated but it's So clean! They have a fenced area out back for dogs to run and potty. They have vending machines that also include personal hygiene stuff and there's a gas station next door. I will absolutely be back next time we need a room in Casper.

This is like a little golden nugget, I've passed this place several times during my travels but never stayed, I thought that's kind of cheesy, a riverboat. Well me and my wife stayed there last night and it was great, Kimberly the front desk clerk very friendly, very helpful, and made sure that we had all that we needed. Shower's very nice and hot. Rooms very comfortable. Very quiet, lots of pillows for the bed. My wife loved the bar of soaps, about 6 different fragrances that you can choose from, of course we chose them all and took them with us I can't say enough about this place I rate it a 9 out of 10 Kimberly I rate a 10 out of 10 thank you so much Kimberly.

Very nice rooms, especially for the price. Front desk staff were excellent. Good beds, good climate control, and lots of hot water. It is a bit difficult to get in with construction on the Interstate. Easiest is to come up Center Street from the south and then turn. I would definitely stay again.

Honestly, the outside made me nervous. Seemed a bit sketchy…. But the lobby was cute and nice, and the room was very clean! Better breakfast than I expected. For the price; I do recommend! For the business; I do recommend fixing up the outside!

Staff was very kind throughout my stay. I feel the nightly rate is a bit high but they do have a good weekly rates. The matteresses are in good condition. Rooms are a bit dated. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my time. Thank you also for keeping smoking rooms on the property. There aren't many smoking rooms but just the fact that they are available was wonderful. Good breakfast options.
