The New Pioneer

I love the access to the lake. I go with my kids and it’s such a relaxing experience. My only complaint is the guest smoking walking in front of rooms when there is a strict no smoking in the rooms policy some guests still smoke. Other than that the stay is great the rooms are comfortable and spacious. I also love the security that patrol the area making me feel safe. They also are on top of everything as in the guest smoking outside the rooms policy they address it very fast. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit and stay here it is worth it. Casino hotels are also family friendly. I do not gamble. I am a single mother on a budget and this hotel fits my budget. That is why I stay here. It’s also very clean and meets all my needs for the time I stay in the city.

Besides the all around atmosphere we love the pioneer because of how everything is separate from eachother .. not just in a casino all the time .. we like to be outside and enjoy walking the boardwalk to get breakfast and go to the casino and bar area .. we also love the rive view rooms during the summer .. the pioneer has a old school but yet really comfortable vibe .. me and my wife also like the fact that we don’t have to walk through a Smokey casino to get to our room.. we stay there Everytime and will continue to stay ther in the future..

The room itself was clean, very well lit, and once I fell asleep, I stayed asleep. The beds were so comfortable. The shower was powerful and clean, and the products given to bathe were well above average. I was impressed. Staff was incredibly friendly and fast to help out, any time... day or night. That includes hotel staff as well as everyone inside the casino that I had interacted with. Even simply sitting at a machine or walking around, every staff member of every position would greet me, at the very least. Made me feel welcomed, like they genuinely want their guests to have a positive, pleasant experience. I like the location of the casino and the overall theme of it.

As original room seemed to have some issue (prior our arrival), we received an upgrade (double room, river side), so its not possible to rate the original room. However, we had a great stay and the room was large and clean. We didnt use the casino but the pizza place inside, definitly to be recommended. We would stay again!

We really enjoyed the location of the Pioneer. It's only 3 floors so it is very easy to carry your items up. I usually request a floor room because we travel as a family. (2 adults - 3 kids) And it is easier to carry all their items into the room. Or carry them if they fall asleep. I like that they have access to the Colorado River. However it is a bit rocky but it was still pretty fun for the kids. The rooms are big enough to be comfortable and not trip over each other. Everything looked clean and the beds were comfortable after a long day on the river. They have plenty of parking for cars, boats and jet skis. And finally, coming back late, from the river with tired kids; makes having dinner at the Bumbleberry (restaurant inside the Pioneer) just perfect! We really enjoyed our stay.
