**Jackpot! OYO Redwood Falls Hotel - Steps From the Casino!**
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of… Jackpot! OYO Redwood Falls Hotel - Steps From the Casino! Yeah, that's the name. Sounds promising, right? I mean, steps from the casino? My inner gambler just perked right up! Let's see if this place lives up to the hype, shall we?
First Impressions (and a Whole Lot of Internet)
Okay, let's get the boring stuff out of the way first. They're supposedly got the goods when it comes to the internet. Internet access – wireless and Wi-Fi [free] are listed, and THANK GOD, 'cause a gal (or guy, no judgment here) needs her internet. We're talking Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (phew), plus Internet services, Internet [LAN]. So, you know, options. Because if I can't update my Insta stories with a blurry pic of a slot machine, what's the point of living?! Oh, and Wi-Fi in public areas, too. Good, good.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag, Maybe?
Now, the accessibility stuff is a bit…cryptic. They list Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, and CCTV in common areas. Those are all good signs! But, and this is a BIG but, they don't explicitly call out things like ramps or adapted rooms. So, if you're relying on step-by-step accessibility info, it’s best to call the hotel directly and get specifics. Don't be shy, you know? Accessibility is KEY!
Cleanliness and Safety - Fingers Crossed!
This is where my anxiety meter really starts to ping. They're touting all the right things: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, and Sterilizing equipment. Like, WOAH. That's a LOT. Let's hope it translates into a truly clean and safe environment. Because, let's be honest, nobody wants to catch the sniffles on a casino weekend! Smoke alarms, Fire extinguisher and CCTV outside property also make me feel more secure.
The Room - My Little Fortress (Hopefully!)
Alright, let's talk about the digs, the sanctuary, the…temporary living space! They list a ton of room amenities, so let's zoom in on a few key ones! Air conditioning – essential. Blackout curtains – bless. Coffee/tea maker – praise the lord! Free bottled water – winning! Hair dryer – yes, please! I’m hoping for a seriously comfy bed, a decent desk to actually work at, and a seating area, because after a day of losing (or hopefully winning!) at the casino, I want to plop down somewhere cozy. They mention Non-smoking rooms (thank goodness!) and lots of other stuff like Bathtub, shower, Toiletries, Towels, Safe box and so on. Also, I'm a sucker for a good mirror and a soundproof room, because hello, I need my beauty sleep!
Dining, Drinking and Snacking - Fueling the Fun!
Okay, okay, the real reason we're here! FOOD! And DRINKS! They boast Restaurants, a Bar, and a Coffee shop and so on. I'm hoping for a decent Western cuisine restaurant and maybe a little International cuisine action because what better way to celebrate a big win than with a delicious dinner. There are Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service. I can already taste the sugary goodness! They also mention Room service [24-hour] - perfect for those late-night cravings. I’m hoping they have a killer Poolside bar, because, ya know, cocktails by the pool? Yes, please!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Casino?
Alright, this is where things get interesting…or maybe a little underwhelming. Besides taking steps from the casino (which is the headlining feature), they list a bunch of relaxation options. Now, I’m a bit skeptical, because frankly, a hotel with a killer spa in Redwood Falls is probably a unicorn. They mention Fitness center, Gym/fitness, and a Swimming pool [outdoor]. Fine, I won't knock them for it, even if my exercise regime is mostly just lifting drinks. I am dreaming for a beautiful Pool with a view. If I can soak up some rays, maybe even get a poolside massage, I'll be ecstatic!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Okay, so they’ve got the basics: 24-hour front desk, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Concierge (fancy!) and Cash withdrawal. They also have a Convenience store (for those desperate late-night snack runs), a Gift/souvenir shop, and Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]. That's important, especially if you're like me and can't stand the idea of paying extra to park.
Let's Talk Imperfections and What I'm REALLY Hoping For
Okay, let's get real. I'm not expecting the Ritz. This is Redwood Falls, not the French Riviera. But my biggest hope is a CLEAN room, a comfy bed, and a strong Wi-Fi signal. A decent breakfast would be the icing on the cake. And maybe, just maybe, I'll be lucky enough to win enough at the casino to pay for the whole damn trip! Wish me luck!
The Quirk That Will Make or Break It…
Honestly? I'm hoping for a quirky touch. A friendly staff member with a unique personality. A hidden mural. Something that makes this place memorable beyond the proximity to the casino. Because, let's face it, a hotel room is just a hotel room, until it isn't.
The Big Picture: Final Thoughts
So, Jackpot! OYO Redwood Falls Hotel – Steps From the Casino! It’s got potential, and it’s got a lot of boxes ticked. The devil is in the details. I'm intrigued. I'm hopeful. I’m ready to give it a shot. Wish me luck!

Luxury Getaway: Hampton Inn & Suites Lonoke (AR) - Unforgettable Stay!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your sanitized, bullet-pointed travel brochure. This is… well, this is me planning a trip to Redwood Falls, Minnesota, centered around an OYO Hotel near a casino. Lord help us all.
The Very Unofficial, Probably Slightly Disastrous Redwood Falls Adventure: An Itinerary (Subject to Impromptu Detours & Existential Crises)
Day 1: The Trek Begins (Maybe Not As Smoothly As I Hoped)
- Morning (or whenever I manage to drag myself out of bed): Flight to… well, it's gotta be to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), right? Then a rental car. Pray to the gods of cheap car rentals that they don't give me the "compact-but-actually-a-clown-car" option. (My legs will thank me later). Oh, and breakfast. Gotta find a spot that serves actual coffee. The airport Starbucks will probably be the only option, and let's be honest, airport coffee is just… sad.
- Mid-Morning (Driving, mostly): The drive to Redwood Falls! Google Maps says it's about two hours. Ha. Famous Last Words. Remember that time I thought Google Maps was a reliable guide to a grocery store, and I ended up in a cow pasture? I swear, this thing has a vendetta. I'm anticipating glorious views of… cornfields. Sigh. Okay, fine. Cornfields can be beautiful in their own, slightly beige, way. I'm hoping for some good tunes, maybe a podcast or two to keep the existential dread at bay.
- Afternoon: Arrival & Initial Impressions (and Mild Panic): Arrive at the OYO Hotel Redwood Falls. Fingers crossed it lives up to the photos online. (Which, let's be real, are probably airbrushed within an inch of their lives). My expectations are LOW. Probably lower than the hotel's price point. Check-in. Pray for a room that doesn't smell of stale cigarettes and despair.
- First impression: Well, the OYO hotel near Jackpot Casino Redwood Falls, isn't terrible, but its not 5-star hotel, so don't be disappointed. My room is an average one, but at least its clean and comfy.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Jackpot Casino! (Here's where it gets risky): Time to hit that Jackpot Casino. Now, I'm not a gambling addict (yet). But a little casual fun? A few spins on the slots? Maybe a quick hand of poker where I look incredibly clueless but somehow win? (Hey, a girl can dream!)
- Casino Vibes: The atmosphere in the casino is quite lively! Though, it's also overwhelmingly noisy due to the sound of slot machines and slot game winner sounds.
- Evening: Dinner & Contemplation (Probably with too much food): Dinner at… wherever the best non-chain option is in Redwood Falls. (Research needed. Or, more likely, I'll just stumble into a place that looks vaguely inviting). I'm thinking comfort food is in order. Burgers? Pizza? Maybe a giant plate of nachos that I will undoubtedly regret later. After that the moment of truth. Walk back to the hotel. Sit and reflect. Consider my life choices. Try not to think about how much money I (inevitably) lost at the casino.
Day 2: Culture, Nature, and the Lingering Shadow of the Slots
- Morning: Breakfast & Minor Regrets: Hopefully, the hotel has something edible for breakfast. Otherwise, it's a gas station donut and a prayer. I'm going to eat a lot of carbs, I can already feel it. And probably some regret about the casino from last night. But hey, at least I have some good stories, right?
- Mid-Morning: Exploring? (Maybe): Okay, here's the slightly ambitious part. Redwood Falls has… stuff, right? Let's see, I'll look up some local attractions, perhaps a park, museum or a historical site. Might even check out the Redwood River.
- Afternoon: The Redwood River Story: Head to the Redwood River. I'll take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and try to find some tranquility. It might be relaxing and peaceful, far away from the casino. I went there and I found a good view on the river. Taking some pictures is a must.
- Late Afternoon: Second Casino Attempt (Oh dear): I've decided to head back to the casino, but this time, with a plan. (A "plan" that involves not betting the house). I hope to try a new games, maybe find a good deal.
- Evening: The Aftermath (of More Food and Reflection): Dinner… again. Maybe I will go to a new place, or maybe I'll go to the same place as yesterday. More contemplation. Maybe some journaling to process all these feelings. Try to avoid the siren call of the casino. Probably fail.
Day 3: Departure & the Lingering Smell of Freedom (and Regret)
- Morning: Breakfast & Final Farewell: The OYO, one last glance at the room. Pack. Check out. Promise myself I'll be a better person. (Famous last words, part II.)
- Mid-Morning: Last Look & Drive Back to MSP: One last drive around Redwood Falls. Absorb. Head back to Minneapolis. This time, I'm taking the back roads to enjoy the scenic views. Hopefully the drive back will be smooth and enjoyable.
- Afternoon: The Airport Shuffle: Return the rental car. Navigate the airport. Deal with the inevitable delays. Find a decent airport coffee. Sigh.
- Evening: Home (or somewhere that feels like home): Land. Unpack. Remember how much fun I thought I had. Then start planning the next adventure. Because, honestly, what else is there to do?
Quirky Observations & Emotional Reactions (The Real Stuff)
- I fully expect to have a serious internal struggle with the slot machines. It’s like they're designed to be hypnotic.
- If I see a herd of cows, I will absolutely stop the car. Cows are my spirit animal.
- The food. Oh, the food will be a comfort and a source of both joy and regret (as always).
- I'm hoping for at least one moment of genuine connection with a local, a moment where I feel like I'm not just a tourist passing through.
- This trip is going to be a chaotic, messy, and deeply human experience. And, secretly, I can't wait.
Disclaimer: This itinerary is subject to change due to mood swings, sudden urges to eat fried food, and the gravitational pull of a casino. Don't expect it to be perfect. Just expect… me.
Baton Rouge's BEST Kept Secret? The Cook Hotel Awaits!
Jackpot! OYO Redwood Falls Hotel - (Mostly) Steps From the Casino! - Your Burning Questions Answered (and Maybe Some I Didn't Know You Had!)
Okay, so... "Steps From the Casino"? Is that like, *literally* steps, or the "steps" they use when they want to make something *sound* close?
Alright, let's get this out of the way first: the "steps" are probably more of a "short walk." But, hear me out. I stayed there last month, right? Exhausted, bleary-eyed, just *clutching* my winnings (which, let's be honest, were maybe enough to buy a moderately-sized pizza). I stumbled out of the casino, and... yeah, it wasn't *right there*, like practically tripping over the front desk. But it was like, a quick five-minute shuffle, tops. Maybe ten if you're me and you take a wrong turn because you're trying to remember if you actually *won* or if it was all a dream. So, not *literal* steps, but close enough that you don't need to call an Uber, which is a HUGE win when you've got a pocket full of quarters and the sudden, overwhelming urge for a late-night hot tub.
The reviews mention... *questionable* smells. True? Should I pack extra air freshener?
Ugh. The smells. Okay, look. This is a *budget* hotel, folks. Let's not pretend we're walking into the Ritz. The first room... yeah, it smelled like… well, let's just say it had a history. That specific aroma that lingers after a room’s been… lived in… for a while. I'm talking faint cigarette smoke mingled with something vaguely reminiscent of a wet dog, but with a hint of cleaning product trying *very* hard to cover it all up. I tried opening the window! But I think it actually *sucked* more smells from the hallways inside. Fortunately, they were happy to switch my room – a good sign in my book!
My advice? Pack a travel-sized Febreze, just in case. And maybe a scented candle. Or a hazmat suit. Just kidding… mostly. Honestly, I’m not the type to complain, I just want to sit in a comfortable bed at the end of the day. My second room… things were better. A little.
Are the beds comfortable? I have standards. (Okay, maybe not *high* standards, but still...)
Comfortable? Okay. This is where things get a little dicey. Let's be honest: it's not a memory-foam cloud. They're… beds. They exist. They hold you off the floor. In my experience, it really felt like the mattress had seen better days. You know those beds that have that permanent dip where everyone before you has slept? Yup. But I slept. Maybe it was the exhaustion from the casino? Maybe it was the two mini-bottles of wine I snuck in? Who knows? I slept. But again… plan to sleep, don’t plan to luxuriate.
I'd rate the bed a solid, and I am being generous, 5/10. Bring a pillow! That's always a good idea. And maybe some earplugs, if you're a light sleeper. You *will* hear things. The walls are… thin. Let’s leave it at that.
What about the amenities? Free breakfast? A pool? Is there something besides the casino and a bed?
Okay, let's temper expectations again. "Free breakfast"? Yes. "Gourmet continental breakfast buffet with freshly squeezed orange juice"? Absolutely not. Picture this: a few sad-looking pastries (that may or may not still be fresh – use your best judgment), some pre-packaged muffins, instant coffee (which, if you're like me, is somehow delicious even when it's terrible), and maybe, *maybe*, some questionable fruit. I mostly went for the coffee and then I grabbed my own pastries.
A pool? Nope. Hot tub? Maybe a broken one. Don't get your hopes up. There *is* a vending machine, which is a lifesaver at 3:00 AM when you’re craving a bag of chips and wondering if you should go back to the casino (the answer is always yes, by the way). Honestly, the main amenity is that it's near the casino. That’s the draw. Embrace the chaos.
Is it clean? Be honest. I have a thing about cleanliness.
Okay. Brutal honesty time? Cleanliness… *is*… a subjective concept, right? Like, what's "clean" to one person might be "rustic charm" to another, right? The rooms are cleaned, but it's not like white glove inspection clean. Dust bunnies might be present. The bathroom… well, bring your own Lysol wipes. I'm not saying it's *filthy*… I'm saying it's not sparkling. It's the kind of clean that you can tell they *tried*. And that’s all that really matters in the end, I guess.
I'm just saying, if you're the type who scrutinizes grout lines and checks for microscopic mold… maybe pack a hazmat suit. Or, you know, lower your standards. It's a budget hotel. Embrace the grit! It’s part of the experience, right?
Any tips for staying at the Jackpot! OYO Redwood Falls Hotel?
Oh, absolutely! My unsolicited advice… First, manage your expectations. Seriously. This isn't a 5-star resort. Second, bring earplugs. The walls are thin. You *will* hear things. Third, pack snacks. Because between the questionable breakfast and the lack of readily available food options, you're going to be hungry. Fourth, tip the cleaning staff! They're working hard. Fifth, and most importantly: have fun! Embrace the experience for what it is: a cheap place to crash after a night of gambling! Don't go in expecting perfection, and you'll probably have a decent time. Oh, and good luck at the casino! May the odds be ever in your favor… or at least, may you walk away with enough to cover the cost of your hotel room.
