Located 25 minutes south of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport, this property offers free WiFi. Set in Prior Lake, this 24-hour casino and hotel offers gaming, entertainment, spa and a variety of distinctive bars and restaurants. It would greatly benefit from a broader selection and improved culinary offerings to elevate the dining experience for guests. To save at this property, all you have to do is sign in.
Additionally, the restaurant options within the hotel left something to be desired. This aspect could definitely use improvement to enhance the overall experience. The lack of urgency and efficiency from the staff was disappointing, leaving guests waiting for an extended period. Despite the presence of three staff members, one appeared idle while the line for hotel check-in grew to a massive size. Unfortunately, the check-in process was a major letdown. On a brighter note, the room I stayed in was clean, nice, and spacious, providing a comfortable environment for relaxation. In the casino, there was someone washing themself in the bathroom that looked like he didn't sleep for days.
While this is beyond the hotel's control, it did influence the overall impression. An interesting highlight was the lady selling hot dogs out of a cart! It's worth mentioning that the clientele at times felt a bit sketchy on the casino floor, which may have affected the overall atmosphere. The bars were great and the bartenders were all professional. My recent stay at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel provided a generally enjoyable experience, although there were a few aspects that left room for improvement.
