The hotel front desk staff was amazing!! Super helpful and went above and beyond. Parking wasn’t the best and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable I’ve slept in (but I also like my bed on the very soft side) - but the staff made it all worth it and are definitely the reason I would be staying again.

Room was not clean upon arrival. Front desk sent someone right away but didn’t really clean it even when pointed out. Most doors were very dirty as well just walking down the halls. Pool was nice and the outdoor patio was very nice. Parking garage was an unexpected surprise! Dining room meals were good and fresh.

We only stayed one night, but it was such a fun and comfortable experience! Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a great night’s rest. The casino floor was lively and entertaining, with plenty of games and a great atmosphere. Even though our visit was short, we felt taken care of and had a wonderful time. Would definitely stay here again for a longer trip!
