Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice, the check in receptionist (Dana I think) was super friendly. The only reason I rated it a little lower was because of the water pressure, when I needed to shower the pressure was a trickle of a stream coming out. It took over 20 minutes of running the water for the pressure to increase - which wasn’t ideal as the morning of was super busy.
Was overall clean but staff was not very friendly. Was disappointed breakfast wasnt included, no hot tub and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke in the elevators
The hotel and staff were fine it was the parking situation that was really bad. Too small and the casino people parked where the hotel guests should. I suggest a tag to hang on your mirror and tow or ticket everyone else. Also it wasn’t until I was several miles down the highway heading home that I discovered that someone started to cut off my catalytic converter. It slipped off going down the road from the bolts being cut. Poor security. Once again the hotel was fine just too bad being connected to the casino puts it in a bad location

Liked: Cleanliness
A/C unit was very noisy all night and room was outdated. Not what I expected for $250 on a Thursday night, was not worth that at all. I expected more. Step it up!
