Very nice stay in two room suite. Huge bathroom with rainfall shower. Comfy bed good breakfast. Like that it is a 21 and up hotel, no kids running the halls. Next time in Burlington will stay here

I can’t say enough good things about my stay. We showed up way before check in and had a great conversation with the desk clerk. She checked with house keeping and got us into a BEAUTIFUL room. It was very modern and expensively decorated. The bed was so soft and comfortable. The room was also spotless. The list of tv channels was almost endless instead of the usual 10 channels available at most hotels. We were given free drink and free breakfast coupons. I don’t gamble but I enjoy watching my wife play black jack. I was thankful for the wallet friendly 5 dollar tables in the side room. We were having a good time having drinks and people watching when I noticed how late it was. On the way back to the room I asked the front desk for a late check out which they happily agreed to. We can’t wait to return!

I have been visiting my family in Burlington for years, but only just recently stayed at the Catfish. First off… WOAH. How in the world did this place manage to pop up out of nowhere? It’s HUGE, clean, fancy, and pretty lively. The casino was BUMPIN’ on Saturday night — shockingly it was the 1st time I’ve set foot in a casino so that was pretty cool for me. Drinks were cheap. The arcade room is awesome as is the general bar scene. Definitely check that out.
We had a few qualms to note — the indoor waterpark was gross, plain and simple. It smelled over-​chlorinated and the hot tub was rampant with screaming children. Can there be some rules/​order established so that adults/​couples can enjoy this facility too? It’s pretty impressive, just needs some freshening up. Also, the walls are terribly thin between rooms. Our last night was spent at the mercy of an extremely intoxicated group of people running through our halls and making camp in the adjacent room. Ugh.
It definitely deserves a high rating because this is Burlington, Iowa, and places this fancy are rare there.

Note: We didn’t stay in the hotel, only stopped in for lunch. However, we wished we had stayed here.
The hotel is huge, clean, and pretty darn cool for Burlington! There is a large casino, a spa, and a buffet restaurant. We had the lunch buffet, which really wasn’t bad. They had plenty of meat options, a good salad bar, two kinds of soup, lots of sides, and about 15 dessert options.
If we’re back in Burlington anytime soon, we’ll definitely stay here and check out the casino action at night.

Best hotel deal anywhere. Large, clean, spacious rooms that are modern and stylish. The adjacent casino, restaurants and entertainment makes this a destination hotel even in a small city like Burlington. I have stayed there at least a dozen times and have enjoyed it every time. Better than most hotels in Las Vegas. Try the buffet breakfast if it is still offered. A coupon from the desk reduces the price to around $ 4. This place can’t be beat for under $ 100. My only fear is that it will become a victim to the slow economy.

When it’s 0 degrees Fahrenheit outside (–18C ish) and you’re stuck in SE Iowa by chance, you gotta thank the lord for a place like this. It’s a giant playland for all ages since attached to the hotel is a casino, indoor and outdoor (wtf? in Burrrrlington??) water-​park, arcade, go-​carts, bowling alley, and a handful of restaurants and bars.
The Catfish Bend Inn is a high quality (almost Vegas feel) hotel with huge rooms, nice furnishings, flat plasma TVs, fancy sliding door bathrooms with glass semi-​opaque glass on outside so it provides lighting and other visual ‘effects’ into the room among some of the features. And it only cost $ 89 + tax/​fees per night.
When you’re in this part of the country and need a place to stay for a while, this is a great option … and you don’t even have to leave the «fun city» complex to have access to food and entertainment.
The biggest negative I noted was that it was kind of dead — but I’m sure pretty hopping for the city we were in — on Tues and Wed nights. And interesting was that outside the casino, most of the people I met were locals hanging out with friends, etc.
Note: The other similar listing on Unilocal «Catfish Bend Casinos Lc «is not the correct address any longer. To my understanding they shut down that location when they opened this one.

If you happen to find yourself in Burlington, Iowa, and requiring lodging for the evening, this is the place to stay. My brother, who lives in Burlington, says this is the fanciest hotel in town. It is definitely more appealing than the rather pedestrian looking Best Western and Holiday Inn hotels located nearby. The rooms have a spacious sleeping area with large comfortable beds and chairs, and a huge bathroom with modern fixtures and a huge glass enclosed shower stall with one of those oversized rainfall shower heads. There is a LCD TV and a mini refrigerator and coffee maker. The rooms look like they were remodeled recently and feature modern dark furniture.
There is a small fitness center that is fully equipped with the standard machines and free weights, and an outdoor swimming pool which I wasn’t able to use when I visited last winter.
This is part of a large complex including a spa, conference center, and casino. There is also a bowling alley, bar, and arcade accessible via an indoor walkway.
The free breakfast was pretty minimal — donuts, yogurt, and coffee. That’s a small quibble. So, overall five stars to Catfish Bend.

This hotel is for those 21 and over only.
The rooms were very clean, the bed was comfy, and the room temperature was good. The shower head was great because it is about 6′ 3″ off the ground. Great for taller people. Our room included a mini-​fridge.
The only negative we had was noise in the morning. We could hear people using the ice machine and vending machine even with our door shut. Also, the heater kicked on loudly. You can control exact temperature in the room through central air/​heat, which is great.
Neutrals — There is a radio in the room that was nice, but its iPod hookup didn’t work. There is a flat-​screen TV, but no HD stations.
This was a great room for the money! And it was no smoking.
