I was up there in May for 3 days and the golf is not even tied to the hotel. The buffet was not good at all why fix it when it wasn't broke on that issue? And the machines were so hard they wouldn't even give you a little you could tell they're trying to pay for there other hotel. I don't believe i'll be staying there for a long while. Thanks but no thanks

I ike the Soaring Eagle. I like it a lot. But as other reviews also claim, they have really tightened up on their slots over the last 3-4 years. I've gone with $300 dollars before and ended up coming home in an hour and a half. That's just sick. But on the upside, I go with friends and always have a ton of fun. I have enough from Club Players to always comp a room whenever I want to. The buffet food there isn't 5 star, but it is good. The steak house there serves excellent food. The rooms are more than decent, and the staff is always nice. The thing they need to work on other than loosening their slots a little... just a little will make the difference. People notice. The other thing is that there is never a waiter or waitress on the floor to get a drink. At times I have noted NO servers on the floor at all. None. I spend the night often since Fire Keepers doesn't have their hotel built and I have taken the time to go through the entire place in search off a server. None were to be had many times. But hey! Make a friend and offer to get one for your neighbor if you walk up to the bar to get one for yourself.
By far the best of the Michigan Casinos, and my wife and I have visited them all.
The slots are up-do-date and pay-off reasonably well. The casino is clean and the machines are not crowded too closely together as in many of the others. If you can't find slots you like here you shouldn't be playing slots at all. The table games are great and the employees well trained and courteous.
The hotel is first class, we have stayed there often and have yet to have a bad experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Although the price might seem high it is best to take a package and you receive premiums that more than make up. You're going to spend the money anyway, go this way.
The food at the buffet is over-priced and not very good. Go to the Water-Lily or Steakhouse and you will do better.
Soaring Eagle is a modern casino hotel with all the amenities. The rooms are well appointed and clean. There are a variety of restaurants, an indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub (they have adult only hours which is nice). Check out some of the combo promotions such that bundle food, gas, and hotel stay - they offer an excellent value
