This hotel, from lobby to bathroom, is certainly the best in the area. It is bright, clean, spacious. The fitness center is well equipped with direct access to the outdoor pool. The room is comfortable with ample space for the king bed, sofa, desk, fridge. Pristine bathroom. I played hours of blackjack on their players card in an attempt to get on their comp room radar! I want to come back ASAP. Food offerings are not high end but well staffed and run. The casino was not busy as it was Sun/Mon so i was able to get a table easily. Friendly casino staff. This hotel is a 10 in a region of overpriced 5s.
Post workout chill by the pool.
