Negative Reviews
negative:
No pool or hot tub
Some of the guests to River City are a bit disappointed by the lack of an available pool or hot tub on-site. If you're looking to cool off and take a quick dip, you'll need to travel to an off-site location.
negative:
Smoke from casino
Unfortunately, guests are quite put off by all the pervasive smoke in certain areas of the hotel. Understandably, the casino allows smoking, but guests say this smoke easily filters out and drifts into the rest of the hotel, causing some of the common areas of the hotel to smell strongly of it.
negative:
Thin walls
Some guests say that they wish the walls at this location were thicker. Apparently, it can be quite easy to hear noises from adjoining rooms.
