Isle Casino * Hotel-Bettendorf, Bettendorf

My husband and I decided to take a nice little weekend trip about an hour away from our home. We decided to stay at the Isle of Capri Hotel because of it's location. Check in was very easy and quick. The room was so-so, nice, but a tad small for the price paid. The TV channels to choose from weren't to impressive. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The view was excellent, looking out over the river and the boat. It was nice to park in the parking garage, since it was snowing, and we wouldn't have to scrape when we left. Our room was in the North Tower, but we were never told what tower it was, so we went to the South Tower first, so that was a little inconvenient, but no big deal. The parking lots were a sheet of ice. We didn't eat at the restaurants there, they were very cashy. All in all it was a nice stay, but for the price we paid for the room, it would have been nice to have a better channel selection and a little bit of a bigger room. We would probably stay here again though, it's reliable for a quiet night's rest, and the reputation is good.

When my husband and I like to get away for a little while we usually go to the Isle. First off if you do play at the isle and you have a isle one card you can get complimentary room nights among other things. So we do take advantage of that. We find it comfortable and accessable (if your there for the casino) Also the beds are great they are very fluffy with down comforting. Its not a 5 star hotel but definatly a good place to get away for a while. ( The buffet is pretty good too! sometimes there is a wait though)

We stayed in the hotel and room was disgusting, the wall lamp was broke and just hanging ther and I got shock when I tryed to move it. The room was not clean at all, I could write my name on the dusty table, the rug was so dirty that I could move the dirt with my foot, ther was blood stains on the bottom of the bed. When I told them about it it was like no big deal.If you wanna stay in a pig hotel then go to ISLE OF CAPRI IN IOWA.

So I was a little unsure about this place after reading some reviews. Here is my review: My wife and I stayed there 3 days. I was surprised. The bad reviews here have no validity in my opinion. The bad reviews must be either from people expecting a vegas high caliber atmoshphere or are people that might be a bit uppity. In short - this place was awesome. In detail, please read on: The older section of the hotel is smoking. I am a smoker. I do not smoke in my home or my car though. I can admit smoking stinks and is a bad habit. That being said, we stayed in the smoking tower. It was clean, smelled good (though some areas of the hall did in fact have a stale smell). The room was clean and perfect. Was it decked out in marble with diamond chandeliers? no, of course not. Was it a super 8 as someone suggested? Absolutely not. The bed was clean, the room was large. The rooms even have central air that you set (not an under the window thermostat). Not sure how one person never found the pool or exercise areas. All you have to do is go look around. The pool area was actually QUITE nice with a large hot tub area as well. There are actually 2 exercise rooms - one in each tower. They have the basics: treadmills, stair climbers and bikes. The one in the new tower has some dumb bells as well. The new tower section of the hotel is really decked out high class. I cant speak for their rooms but I do know they have jacuzzi rooms available. The dark walnut woodwork and common areas are really high class areas. They have 2 community computers available for use and plenty of room for sitting and watching TV. Next - Food: The buffet was great in my humble opinion. Sure, it wasnt a "huge" buffett but everything was fresh and done well. There was always a prime rib or pork cutting station, an italian section, a latin/mexican station and seafood station. Also a good salad bar and soups as well as a good dessert station that even offered sugar free pies. For 9.99 I do not see how anyone can complain about this. There is a 'fast food' type place next to the buffet that offers sandwiches, burgers, cheese melts, dogs, etc. We ate there once too as it stays open until 2am. Then for a higher class experience the steakhouse on the lower section of the new tower is available. We didnt eat here. The menu prices are an average of 25 to 30 dollars for their meals. Next to that is a bar which seemed like it would have been a lot of fun as well, though it was not open while we were there. Perhaps its only open on weekends or maybe its still too new and hasnt opened yet at all. I am not sure. I was disappointed in that because we did want to sit in there for some drinks the one night. There are two more bars on the casino boat though so that is what we did. There is also a starbucks in the hotel main lobby. As for the casino... Yes, it smells like smoke. Sure it has some sections designated non smoking but obviously that just means you wont have smoke right in your face from the player beside you. You will still be in a room where a lot of people smoke though. There were three levels of the boat. The top level is a poker room only. The main level is a mixture of 5 cent, 25 cent, 50 cent and dollar machines, along with a smaller area for high rollers ($5, 10, 25 machines). The main level is also the table games (craps, poker, BJ, roulette etc). The lower level is mainly penny slots. They have the new slots of Jaws and Happy Days which were just recently released. They were a big hit. We signed up for player cards and to our surprise, the casino sent us back to the hotel since we were first timers there and comp'd our room to $29.00 a night. That was awesome! The slot payout is marked at 91.6 while we were there and we had our ups and downs. If I had more discipline we would have walked away $1300 up. Overall, I highly recommend this place and we will definitely go back. We had a really great time!

We stay at the Isle a couple of times a month. I like the hotel very much. I especially like the fans over the bed. My husband likes the plasma TVs and duvets. The rooms are always clean and well-stocked. I have been disappointed with the buffet lately because they took the peel and eat shrimp off except for week-ends. The food is never hot enough. I think this is the area of the complex that could be improved. I love, love, love the casino and willingly drive 100 miles to get there, even though there is a casino within 35 miles of my home. I have always found the slot attendants, change window staff, and cocktail waitresses to be friendly and courteous. I usually play dollar slots and have found the ones at the Isle to be the loosest I've ever played. The VIP staff is eager to help and quick to respond to my requests. All in all, I'd say that the Isle of Capri in Bettendorf is my favorite casino because they welcome me and appreciate my business.

I have stayed at the Isle frequently and find it to be a good value. The location right on the Mississippi is beautiful. My experiences with the staff have been positive... excepting one mishandled reservation. Generally, all I have to do is tell them what I need and they take care of it cheerfully. Food quality at the buffet is good. If you like crab legs, this is the place to go. The downside is that waits can get long when the place is busy.

The casino and hotel were average but the buffet is probably one of the worst in the state!The beef was so tough you could not chew it! If they want to stay in the game they will definately have to step up their game.

Grouchy and uncaring desk staff, dirty room. The management staff doesn't seem to care either. A letter to them has went unanswered. Sweeper had not been run in a week!

I am trying to talk with someone about reserving rooms for my guests to stay during my wedding. I called a 1-800 number and was transfered and put on hold for over 40 minutes and still didn't get to talk to anyone. I guess they don't want my business that bad.

we like the cleanliness, service, and gaming!its really nice the hotel and casino is all connected! Its makes for a nice lil romantic getaway for us.
