My husband and I stayed in the Sunset Tower. The room was beautiful, big TV. The air conditioning didnt seem to work but since the outside temperature wasnt too hot, the room stayed about 77/78 degrees which was okay for me but too warm for my husband, we kept the fan on and it helped with the temperature a little. Also, you have to call and request house keeping if you want your room cleaned. The room was about a 10 minute walk to reception desk.Overall we liked oir stay here. We had a nice time,

Not a good deal that we are used to from Hotel.com

It looked like our room light switch had not been cleaned in Two years. The facility was under construction. The price that we paid was way over what we should have paid.

The details of the room indicated that the hotel was remodeled. And with that being said there are 2 places the main hotel and the new hotel. The “tower” location is remodeled and the main building is completely old with cracks cracks in bathroom floor holes in blankets mold build up in the shower chair in the bathroom. The room was described as “non” smoking although it smelled like an ashtray. The receptionist

They were mid construction which wouldn't typically be a problem but we were put into a room without hot water and the a/c only worked on high. They switched our rooms which was great but it was still not great.

We’ve stayed here many times and know it’s just an okay casino hotel, but this was exceptionally bad. Room was dirty (used Q-tips on the floor) and bathroom was tiny and the toilet seat broken. For the same price I’d stay at Bally’s or Cesars.
