Best Western Saluki Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We only one night but the hotel was well maintained and staff very attentive. Beds were very comfortable. Will stay again."

Walker's Bluff Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very kind and helpful! The security guard even noticed my trunk was opened and closed it for me. I’ve stayed twice and both times the hotel and room was very clean and staff were friendly and welcoming. My only two complaints would be that the music in the lobby is loud and annoying and that the breakfast isn’t worth the price. But those things won’t keep from staying again when I’m in the area. I think the hotel clerk was Miranda in the evening and she was above and beyond friendly!"
