The steakhouse quality is exceptional and the servings are ample. From the nice coffee shop with specials to the small quick grill to the very nice steakhouse to the buffet, there is something for every taste and budget. I have stayed in both the standard rooms and suites and both are very enjoyable with nice sized baths and ample ammenities. The rooms are very nice, comfortable and accessible. Check-in at the hotel is prompt and professional.

First of all, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. At night, you can see the lights on the hotel exterior change colors from the interstate. It is very easy to get to via automobile (last exit from OK, first OK exit from MO line off I-44). Have both played at and stayed at Downstream many times.

Just my honest opinion and I really hate having to give a review like this. Or, stay at a much cheaper hotel in Joplin and visit other casinos. After several trips to Downstream, I think next time, I might stay at the hotel, but gamble at other area casinos. Nothing against teens or young adults, but this IS a gambling establishment after all. It is nearly impossible to get a glass of water, soda or cocktail due to these people hanging around, visiting, horse playing etc. There are so many kids hanging out, drinking and not playing anything that you cannot easily get around. I assume the gambling age is 18, but the drinking age is 21. I can't believe that Downstream has made it where you cannot just relax, play along, win enough to keep going! Many slots are old, or the 'jackpot' is nothing compared to the amount you have to wager. Not so, and the winning percentage is higher. People are afraid to play the higher denomination slots as they appear like there would be more to be lost.

50 to $10.00 per spin, they will eat your bankroll in a heartbeat. these things are 'wolves in sheep's clothing.' They might be 'Penny' slots, but when you have to play anywhere from. It is just ridiculous! One used to be able to play along.expecting to give some to the house, but have an enjoyable time. The machines are so much tighter than they were at my last visit.

That said, I must say that I am currently at Downstream, leaving tomorrow. I love the hotel and the hotel staff are pleasant and very quick to accommodate.
