Cheap rooms, located next to a park and a scenic steel mill that makes the air smell like rotten eggs. Rooms are big but not well thought out. Typically you would want your "Lake View" rooms to not have the beds pointed the opposite direction of the "lake view". Room was non smoking but smelled like a chain-smoker had been living in it. No amount of air freshener would help. Body wash bottle in the shower was empty which means they do not refill after each guest. No soap to wash your hands with at the sink besides a Shampoo/Conditioner combo. Questionable stains all on the walls and carpets had not been cleaned in a while. Beds felt like the springs were going to lodge themselves into my back all night. Coffee machine in lobby cost $7 for a Mocha with no Mocha. Beach was shut down to swimming due to high bacteria count. Found out it's considered one of the most polluted beaches in the US. Staff were nice and rest of the facilities seemed okay. This place has the potential to be good but it needs some real work first.

While the staff were great, the property itself was unkept. We had mold in the corners of the shower, wall coverings were peeling off, and the best part was that I paid extra for a view of the marina... with what my wife likes to refer to as a view of 18th century England behind it.. its was a massive rail yard with a steel factory..

I've always loved the Ameristar Casino hotel rooms. They offer smoking/they have an iron and board in room/fridge in room {although I understand why the microwaves were removed long ago}/the bathroom especially. Separate toilet room full bathtub and separate shower! It's the cost that's hinder my stays. This happened to be a Family member Funeral Service in Chicago and the family had a 10 room block. I could NEVER get that rate in St. Charles.($145 nightly Thurs - Mon + resort fees only $10.)..THANK YOU AMERISTAR CASINO EAST CHICAGO!!

Nice enough but the hallway smells like weed

This is a decent option for events in Chicago if you’re going to an event and want easy access to a casino and late night food. The hotel is nice with good views of Lake Michigan. There was some dirt on the vents, but nothing too bad. We were on a smoke free floor (13), but the hallway smelled like weed smoke. The room didn’t smell, just the hallway.

This is a great place to stay if you see a show at The Venue. It is clean really Top Notch and the service is fantastic. The casino just has a drab kind of vibe to it. It's like everybody was just in there to lose or something, I don't know. I had a very somber feeling in the casino.

The folks at check in was pleasant but no one informed us that you had to request a day before to get your room cleaned. This is very unsatisfactory and should be stopped. We were there 4 days and did not get our room cleaned. Ran out of tissue and had to get more towels from the front desk. Paying $634 for 3 nights is just crazy to not have my room cleaned. The refrigerator is a joke you can only fit small items in there. Overall I would not stay there again. I try and support my home town but this is just ridiculous…

The Ameristar Casino Hotel East Chicago absolutely exceeded my expectations! The room was honestly one of the best I’ve ever stayed in — incredibly spacious, spotless, and so comfortable that it felt like a luxury retreat. I went during an off-season day, so the price was very affordable, which made it even better. What I loved most was how the hotel feels like a true escape — once you’re inside, it completely takes you out of the surrounding area and immerses you in a relaxing, upscale atmosphere. I would 100% stay here again!
