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 included a Spa which looked nice as well. I did not use the Spa. Casino area was large and "Las Vegas" style. The golf course looked very nice as well, although we did not golf. We ate at ruthie's restaurant, the upscale dining choice in the resort. Excellent food and great service. The room decor was VERY unique in that it had electric drapes and an automatic curtain covering a totally expansive glass shower in the bathroom. VERY different.

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 place was nearly empty. I was literaly the only one gambing in the main casino during the day.The staff was incredibly rude, I reported a dice dealer for cheating and was treated even more poorly. I have never been back.

My husband and I along with his business associates stayed at the hotel on a Saturday night. We thought that it would be noisy, because of the college students that were partying down the hall, but it was great. The rooms are gorgeous and the bathroom is very interesting --- huge glass window with a automatic curtain to open and close. We ate at the Robert's Buffet, which we have often, and it had a nice selection of food. Would stay again at the hotel.

My husband and I stayed at Riverside on a Thursday night. We ate the Robert's Buffet dinner. We're not usually huge buffet fans, but the fried shrimp and bacon wrapped steak were surprisingly good. The rest was pretty typical buffet food. We both gambled on $10 free play for a solid two hours that night. I like slots and was impressed with the selection. The room appeared to be clean and was very comfortable. We had Robert's Buffet for breakfast and it was really terrible. We both left uneaten plates of food and went for the mini boxed cereals. We enjoyed the pool facilities after breakfast- very nice! We spent a bit more time gambling and ended up coming out ahead. All of the staff was very friendly and accommodating (we requested late check-in Thurs. night and late check-out Friday morning). We agreed that we would love to return to Riverside, and the only thing that would stop us would be the high room prices. We're hoping that they lower their prices or at least offer a deal to player's card members in the future.
