We stayed at Riverside while attending a weekend wedding in Iowa City. We're glad we did! The rooms were nice, and the facility top-notch. Casino is clean and well-ventilated, so you don't smell like smoke when you leave. Slots are fun. Bar service was good and fairly-priced for a casino. We were well-treated everywhere we went. Both meals at the... More

Having made the 300-mile trek numerous times from Chicago to Iowa City, Iowa, where two daughters have attended U of Iowa, we have been stymied to find the perfect place to stay. Finding good hotels in university towns usually presents a challenge. But on football, graduation or even Parents Weekends, the stakes are raised and so are the lodging rates.... More

I thought the place was very nice and clean. We also enjoyed the entertainment of two live bands. We did have an appetizer in the Ripple diner, the server was great. Not impressed with the food. The manager in the diner said hello to every four other tables not us. Even on our way out no Thankyou for coming in... More

If you are looking for a quick getaway and live within 170 miles of Iowa City Iowa----then the Riverside Resort is for you. Beautiful casino, hotel & gold complex which is only 13 miles south of I-80 at @ Riverside Iowa. We have been here a number of times and can not say enought about how nice this complex is.... More

Good luck getting a drink. Waiters are AWFUL. Cash only at the main bar? Really?? Pay-out percentage is AWFUL. Put NO booze in over priced drinks. Bars/waiters always understaffed. Rooms,drinks,poker rake, food, golf, all way too expensive. Points are worthless, same amount of gambling in the quad city's got me tons more benefits. Lost $500 playing caribiean stud one night,...

A big thank you and thumbs up to all at this resort. Just returned from our 3rd visit to the TEE Tournament which is held here each September (started for blind/low vision vets, but now has other disabled vets, too). The staff bends over backward for the vets and it is so much appreciated. The accomodations are just great (love... More

Beautiful golf course. We had a gorgeous room (better than some in Vegas). Gambled a bit but never saw anyone win a boatload of money. Different food every night. We had crab legs on Wednesday but I wouldn't have paid that price (had free meals). Smoking is permitted in casinos in Iowa so I smelled like cigarettes all night. Our... More

The Riverside Casino and Resort was truly a nice surprise. The decor is very modern and contemporary in the entire place. We stayed one weekday afternoon and night. I was pleasantly surprised with the amenities. The resort had a nice smaller upscale boutique and a beautiful relaxing pool area. Part of the pool is indoors for inclement weather. The resort...

nice golf cource, ok but very expendcive hotel, I traveled to this hotel on a whim to see it, the food was very expendcive for the quality . and the location is 20 miles from Iowa City, IA in no where land. I believe this is why it,s so weak, it has no competition thus no reason to improve. the... More
