My wife and I were a bit apprehensive about staying here given some of the reviews by others but we were pleasantly surprised. We stayed in one of the mini-suites (pretty much the same as their standard rooms but a little larger) and it appears to have been recently renovated...walls painted, new carpeting, newer furnishings, everything worked fine, no observed damage, very clean. The tub/shower was older but it was clean and had no damage. We also stayed in a smoking room and were very pleased to find there was very little odor of any kind. The bed was comfortable and provided good support but they really need to replace the dinky, too soft, pillows.

There are 2 buildings, both of which appear to have been perhaps older hotels that Coushatta Casino Resorts purchased and then branded as their own. But they both appeared to be well maintained externally and internally (I can't speak for the condition of all the rooms). Staff was friendly and courteous.

We did not observe any of the issues some others have warned about. Either they've cleaned up their act some or we simply were one of the lucky ones. (We certainly needed some luck since we had none at the casino.)

This hotel is NOT next to the Coushatta Casino. It is about a mile north of the casino on the edge of their golf course. They do offer free shuttle service to/from the casino.

If you would be happy staying in a nice Super 8 then you will likely be happy staying here. If you are expecting something better than a nice Super 8 you will probably be disappointed.

I don't know if they had a continental breakfast or not. I didn't think to ask or look for it since I usually do not take advantage of them.

Most of the hotels right around the casino are a bit on the pricey side and this one is no different. There are less expensive places to stay about 5 miles souths in Kinder if cost is a concern.

Stayed here on accident through a golf package. Very unappealing. The whole placed smelled and the shower literally DID NOT WORK. It was just a weak spitting of cold then lukewarm water. The other hotels associated with this casino look pretty nice but this was rancid. On the plus side, the A/C worked. Stay at another property if you are going to the casino or golf course (which is overrated)

Stayed at the Pines on a Thursday and Friday night. As always we didn't find anything to complain about. Nice cozy, clean room. If there was a down side, the room (bottom floor) has a great view of a brick wall. I believe this is for the protection of the rooms occupants from errant golf balls from the adjacent GREAT Golf Course. Who cares about the view anyway, the only time spent in the room is when its time to sleep from the over indulgence at the Casino. I rate the room and AAA!

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. There were no Elevators to make the 2nd floor rooms accessible for persons with handicaps. I asked if we could trade rooms for one on the first floor....I was told it was not possible and I could use the stairs. I brought up that their should be a way to access the 2nd floor other than stairs to be in ADA compliance....the young lady said I could write to the company. I will do that as well as this review. Our room, as well as many of our bus mates (we were on a bus trip from austin), REEKED of cigarette smoke. Even the towels and bedding smelled. DO NOT STAY HERE
