Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, beautiful room and a HUGE bathroom! Would be fantastic if there was a coffee maker in room. Or more choices in the coffee shop...and a person actually there to get you a cup of coffee. Waited for about 5 minutes or more, but no one showed up. Had to get to a funeral and had to go without our morning coffee. :("
