We only stopped on our way home for the night because we wanted to play at the casino. Weren’t able to try much of the other amenities. The hotel itself was very good and the room was spacious and clean.

Offered a complimentary upgrade which was nice, everyone so pleasant and helpful. Hotel was extremely clean everywhere! Only lacking was limited dining options as only buffet was open in casino or room service in the evening, and coffee and snack bar was only opening for a brief time in the mornings.

The hotel was clean, casino clean. Check-in was basic, almost like the front desk person was over saying the same things. The pool area is nice but the water was kind of green. The room was spacious, smelled like mildew, the a/c is really loud. At night the hallway had a sewer smell right off the elevator down through the hallway.
