Description: The Isle of Capri Hotel & Casino in Bettendorf is very convenient and affordable for those traveling to the Quad Cities area for business or recreation. There were three of us using this location as our home base for a weekend trip to view and photograph eagles along the Mississippi River in the city of Bettendorf, IA.
There are two towers that comprise this hotel. The north tower is the one that has been reportedly updated with new furnishings and upgraded televisions. We had a standard room in the south tower, which was very comfortable and actually more convenient to the casino and dining options. The south tower is also where the hotel check-in registration area is, as well as the valet parking. Therefore, I would say that it would be the preferred location for any future visit I may make to this hotel/casino property.
Our room had two queen sized pillow-top beds that were outstanding for a good night's sleep. Admittedly, watching the Packers' NFL playoff game on the smallish television was a bit of a bummer, but we weren't there to watch TV so it wasn't that big a deal.
We had free bottled water awaiting us in the room, as well as eco-friendly bath amenities. They also are pet friendly, with some restrictions. (See website for more information.) For those looking for some water relaxation, they do have an indoor swimming pool and complimentary local phone calls and WiFi in all rooms.
From our room atop the eighth floor, we had a lovely view of the courtyard below as well as one of the bridges crossing the Mississippi River. Around 10:00pm snow began falling, creating a wonderful winter wonderland. We slept with the curtains open, making it feel like we were sleeping in a snow globe. It was so tranquil and serene.
If you have one of their casino players' cards, you can expect to receive special discounts and promotions for rooms as low as $29/night.
All in all, our overnight stay at Isle of Capri was very nice. I will stay there again when I return to the area!
