For years they were the only casino around but that’s no longer the case. Others update point status in real time.Ĭomps still lacking compared to competition. Drinks cheaper than Cleveland but no free alcoholic drinks like the Meadows in PA still offers for table players. The drawback to these machines is they only offer 2x odds bets but for people too intimated to play at the real tables it’s a nice option to have.ĭrink service at the tables was excellent as usual. Really nice to see only a $1 min bet on these machines which is nice for the beginning craps player to learn the game. Was also thrilled to see they finally added a bubble craps machine something I only ever found in Cleveland and Wheeling before. In Cleveland you can’t find a table lower than $15 min with it being $25 most of the time. My last trip during Covid everything was $15 and up. Primarily a table player it was nice to see reasonable $10 limits on craps and blackjack tables. I haven’t been back here in over a year and had a pleasant day trip.

Go into a random room and check the cleanliness. Those things matter at a destination resort. For management reading this, just go into the main lobby mens room and look at the overall condition of the stalls, floors and walls. I will say that all our interactions with the staff were professional and courteous, so there is that positive. But having been to Mountaineer when it was still the Waterford, to when the new hotel opened up, to now, it has declined greatly. I don’t know if it is a staffing issue or what. And bring over the age of 50, we got the room for $60 for the night. The staff allowed us to park our motorcycle under the entrance overhang, which was appreciated. The Big Al’s sandwich shop was great with good food at a good price. The motel and casino were not busy and the good feelings of my past visits were gone. Our room was also dirty, with furniture banged up, splash stains of some type of liquids on the wall, debris on the carpet. From the public areas and bathrooms, to the parking lot and landscaping, it was just dirty and kind of depressing.

The biggest stand out from our stay is it is dirty.

Overall this is a below average “resort”. As much as it pains me to say this, as I have been traveling to Mountaineer since I was a child (age 51 now), this resort has fallen upon hard times.
