Le Merigot Hotel

My Husband surprised me with a quick overnight trip for our 20th anniversary. Having gone on referrals from persons at work, he had selected to stay at Le Merigot thinking that by their recommendations and the price, it would be a nice stay. He was told unfortunately, that even on a Tuesday night, no suites were available as they were reserved for comp to the guests at the casino. Fine, he decided, surely a standard room at the rate of *$179.00* would still be a wonderful stay! ….um no. A standard room at Le Merigot does not come with a refrigerator, microwave, and additional amenities. It does however come with a large amount of dust, streaked stainless steel fixtures, dirt and other things in the corners and what appears to be mold around the venting of the room. I’ve stayed at Hilton’s, Hyatt’s, Mariott’s and even Holiday Inn’s which were extremely more accommodating, stylish and laid out in better fashion than the room we were assigned. The bathroom was ridiculous with its pompous over use of glass doors around the shower (no bath), which leaked into the commode area which also touted a dirty heavy ridiculous glass door. The bathroom door was hung either crooked or sagged so as to rake across the floor each time it was opened and closed. The layout of the room was odd and nothing lined up, the TV askew from the bed, awkward desk and wardrobe (no closet) placement. (*Please note in one of the pictures below, my husband is writing a note in the dust atop the wardrobe. You can see the pile of dust at the edge of the unit.) The view we experienced for $179.00 was of the roof of the hotel and the parking garage. Yes..we could have spent the time to go and complain to the front desk, and/or lost a deposit amount. Yes we could have chosen to do this and spent a couple hours driving around Evansville looking for a nicer room…which I can imagine we could have found one at a significantly more reasonable price with more in-room amenities. BUT we decided to take our time on our 20th to spend a nice dinner together instead and had time to spare to catch the end of a blues band at Lamasco’s to top off our night. I would definitely not recommend. There are several other places in Evansville that offer a better view, better amenities and surely a much better price.

This hotel is nothing short of amazing! It has such a modernized/ contemporary design, while also maintaining a rather beautiful and romantic allure as well. The amenities it has to offer are just as extravagant! The overall vibe here is most definitely that of a luxury hotel, not to mention it sits nestled mere feet from the casino and Ohio River. Ever since I checked out from my stay here, I've been dying to go back! Perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway. 💗💜🩷

They said I could get a free hotel room. I went to do it. Had to pay a $25 result fee. I guess they don't know what the definition of free means

Easy. Close to casino

Stayed here due to disability. Ease of parking and walking distance to casino games, no long hall, stairs or escalators. Problem was checking out. Needed a luggage rack to bring oxygen concentrator , portable oxygen and luggage down. None to be found. I called service desk she advised me to go from floor to floor look down halls for one. Still none to be found. It took me six trips up and down elevator while disabled husband waited in lobby. Then I got the car and make 6 trips from Lobby to car out front. I was exhausted and my husband was upset that he couldn’t help and it turned a great trip to disappointing one.

This is plush, makes you feel exquisite. The only downside is that there is no one in the building. You have to check in at the other hotel first, so you have a passcard.
