Disappointed & Tired

Our stay was disappointing to say the least. Coming into this trip, we knew that the hotel was under renovation. However, we didn’t know just how crappy the hotel was. The room was clean, but everything was outdated and old. The bed was super uncomfortable, with only two mediocre pillows on the entire king-sized bed. The shower head was garbage, and the bathroom sink had the weakest water pressure known to man. The room was insanely warm, there is no adjustable temperature in the rooms. The AC fan in the room was obnoxious and provided more noise than it did air circulation. The only saving grace was the window cracked, and the snowy air was able to seep into the stuffy room. We were notified during our stay via a piece of paper slipped under our door that the water would be shut off for maintenance in the middle of the night. No big deal, except for the fact that dirty brown water continuously spewed out of the faucet and the shower every time we turned it on the rest of the trip. Also, the water pressure got worse. The hotel lobby was dirty and the casino was lame. The outside of the hotel is old and dated, and the inside still has HardRock decor. They even charge for water bottles inside the rooms, but we brought our own. The hotel was cheap, (except for the $20 a day parking) and it did its job as a place to sleep, but we are definitely not coming back, even once it is renovated.
Charging for water!

The property is under construction and desperately in need of repairs. The entrance is a mess and makes the hotel look closed. No valet or luggage service and the list goes on.

Location was great but customer service was terrible. Rooms appear to be going through and update and are very much needed. If the customer service was better I would have given it 4 starts but it was terrible around every turn.

Liked: Cleanliness
We liked the smaller casino setting (compared to the surrounding casinos) and overall clean environment. The restaurant there are good. There were few black jack tables, parking wasn't free for us, despite staying there two nights, and dinning, gambling there. No arcade for our son, we had to go to Harvey's for that.

Embarrassed

"This was a decision that embarrassed me in front of my entire family!!!! This hotel should be shut down for health violations!!!!! If you love your family, never take them to this dump!!!! I booked for 6 days, but I left on the second day! The only good thing was the manager, who, with embarrassment, told me, 'I understand, sir.
