Isle of Capri Casino Hotel Lake Charles, Lake Charles

I've only been to the buffet and bar. The bar was great. Live music on the weekend, dancing, free pool, not very crowded. The buffet was pretty terrible though. I've been for lunch a few times and it was pretty good, but dinner is horrendous. All the desserts were dry, as if they had been sitting out since lunch. The meat was also dry. They advertised prime rib but gave me dry roast beef. Their fried food was also dry and overcooked. They did have a decent chicken and gravy, but that's about it. Definitely not worth the $35/person.

This was my first time staying at the Isle of Capri. They have a really nice free parking garage. That's one thing you don't find often. The feel of the hotel and decor is older. The room was decent and the bathroom was clean, but it's nothing spectacular. Compared to the other casinos nearby, if you want a clean place to stay, I would recommend it. However, if it's not much of a cost difference and you want to celebrate a birthday or have a "girls trip," stay somewhere with more action. This place is great for older adults and maybe families with small little ones who don't want to be bothered with large crowds.
