Twice during our four night stay the pool was closed due to 'accidents' in the pool that were due to the unattended children that seemed to be locals and not guests. It sometimes appeared that locals were using the pool since there was no true verification of being a guest at the hotel in order to use the pool. The signs said that minors were prohibited (w or w/o adults) but this was not enforced nor told to parents with children when they checked in at the pool area. The hot tub was up stairs or ramp and offered a great view of the back bay of Biloxi. Food and beverages were available poolside, although better signage of food hours would be great. The pool area, while lacking the lazy river of the Grand, was wide enough for people to sit around and not be right on top of each other. The bed was terrible and was like you would expect at a mom/pop hotel at some random highway exit. The room at the IP was 'okay'-nothing fancy or special like the rooms at the Beau, but it's not like we were in the room too long.

We chose the IP for our annual summer trip, July 2007, because it had a non-smoking gaming area and it offered reasonable packages flying out of Tampa. My husband and I had previously stayed at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi and the Grand Casino in Gulfport (since destroyed by Katrina-rebuilt w/o its luxurious pool area under another name).
