From Jct I-80 & IL-7 (exit 130A): Go S 1 mi on IL-7 (Larkin Ave S), then W 1-1/2 mi on US-6 (L). Follow signs thru casino parking lot.
Nice place for a trucker to park overnight. Friendly security directed me to the right area, coming here my first time.
Unfortunately, no dining available at 11am on a Monday, tho the staff I spoke to was extremely apologetic. I'd have considered walking around the casino area, had I found a decent meal.
This casino would do well to build out their lot to invite more truckers, have 24/7 food options, and maintain their good customer service, and they'd get more business.
No valet, parking is a long way from entrance, and walk to casino from building entrance is quite a distance. Wheelchairs for public use no longer available. We had a good time, but if you are not young and mobile it's a challenge.
Expected a lot more, but was pretty pathetic. No breakfast at all at the Hotel, had to go literally a block or two from the Hotel to the Casino, and the food prices were OUTRAGEOUS!! They advertise great amenities, but offered nothing. How the hell can you not have breakfast, or anything, in the morning for Hotel guests? Took my 90 year old Dad, made reservations for two rooms side by side, but they couldn't do it when I checked in. We were probably the only two people in the Hotel, and they couldn't put us next to each other?? Probably will never go back, wasn't what I expected, pathetic!!
My partner and I had an overnight stay at this hotel and I don’t have anything negative to say about the actual hotel. It’s not brand new so for the age of the hotel it presented as expected. The people were friendly, the bed was good enough for one night, the water was hot. No reason to complain. What I will say is Hollywood/Penn Play whoever you are, needs to do better for breakfast. We paid $200 for 1 night and were given a $5 food voucher. But there are no breakfast options on property to use that voucher. Thank you for the voucher, but because your plain stale donut won’t hold up for my 4 hour drive I really wish there was a breakfast option on property. Hop House didn’t open until 11 with no breakfast or brunch options and the steak house didn’t open until 4pm. So either keep your $5 and buy granola bars or something. Or think about putting a breakfast joint on site.
Had a good time at the casino! It was my Sweetie's birthday. He loves playing the Buffalo machines. We always win on that one! Although we were in town for a love-one's funeral, we were able to squeeze a little extra curricula activity in! Beautiful scenary, by the way!
