My husband and I have stayed at the LaMerigot many times since we discovered it 5 years ago and have never been disappointed. The hotel has a classy, modern flair that is unmatched by any hotel in the area. The staff has always been pleasant, the rooms well decorated, and very clean. The mattresses are so comfortable that when my husband and I were shopping for a new mattress, I called the hotel to get the details on theirs.

The hotel has so much to offer right at its door steps that there is no reason to need your car once you arrive. I recommend utilizing their complimentary valet service.

The Casino Astar boat is across the street and there are several nice restaurants choices and live entertainment on the property where the boat docks.

When the weather is comfortable, we enjoy having drinks in the outdoor seating area at the Blush (off the hotel lobby) with a relaxing waterfall / fire feature and the views of the Ohio River are spectacular.

An upscale continental breakfast is included with the room. They offer fresh fruit, cereal, oatmeal, bagels, and a variety of breads. It has always been satisfying to us; but if you prefer a hot breakfast a full buffet is served across the street in the Casino Astar dining area.

Soon the hotel will have an enclosed walkway bridge connecting the hotel to the Casino making it the closest hotel to the restaurants and entertainment offered by the Casino.

I am normally not one to post reviews on Trip Advisor; but have benefited over the years from other’s reviews and thought I should give back by sharing details on our “Escape” hotel. Enjoy!

The Le Merigot at Casino Aztar is awesome. I don't think it is overpriced at all. $169.00 a night for an upscale hotel, next to a casino, a nightclub, several restaurants, bars. All within walking distance. I've stayed here several times for weekend casino getaways. I have never been disappointed. The rooms have always been clean. I've stayed in bad hotels for more then this. The beds are super comfortable too.

Its a good hotel to stay in if your on business. its right down town and easy to get in and out of. I like it because its close to the casino. just walk across the street.

I hosted a bachelorette party in Evansville (per the bride's request) and I had all of the ladies meet in our hotel room before going out. I went on and on to my friend about how excited I was about our room before we got there. I wasn't disappointed by the decor and the room we had with 2 double beds was perfect to hold the dozen women who showed up and watched the bride open gifts. Before the party began I was excited to try out the shower since so many people have raved about it in the reviews.

While the shower itself was awesome it was sooooo not worth the time I spent cleaning up after it. Water went EVERYWHERE outside of the shower into the bathroom and even spilling into the foyer area. Which I should mention was creeping dangerously close to a questionable wall outlet. I used up every single towel including the one I used getting out, to clean it all up. I started to question whether I knew how to properly close a shower door after seeing how much water had leaked until I noticed the bottom of the bathroom door...it was completely warped! So obviously others have had the same issues. I literally was putting on my dress when people arrived for the party because cleaning up set me so far back.

Another complaint about the bathroom...we joked in the beginning about the phone next to the toilet until we saw the one and only extra roll of toilet paper. Also, the frosted glass that serves as the enclosure for the bathroom provides little privacy so be mindful of that if you're sharing the room with someone you're not comfortable seeing you semi-naked.

No perks for the price tag such as a pool or any type of restaurant on site.

It is pretty but I need more than aesthetics to justify that much money.
