The Ameristar Casino Hotel in East Chicago markets itself as "a full-service luxury hotel," but it is not. We spent a night at the Ameristar to attend a show nearby and found the staff friendly but maintenance lacking. First, the keycard readers in the elevators do not work correctly. The elevator doors closed and took us to the top floor because someone called it but did not stop at our floor. We eventually got it to work, but the hotel should consider upgrading or repairing its readers. Secondly, the drain in our bathroom sink was extremely slow, and the bathtub faucet dripped. Worse of all, the walls are paper thin. The couple in the adjoining room turned on the mood music at 3 AM to mask the sounds of romance, but the female's moaning and voice were as clear as the lyrics to their music. I know there's nothing the hotel can do to control people's actions. Still, another layer of drywall or insulation between the rooms would be a welcome addition to a "luxury" hotel.
On the positive side, the room was clean, the bed comfortable, and I liked the pillows.
