Nice room size for a wedding group! The hotel by the elevators and casino does smell like smoke which is why I am not sure I would stay again. But, staff was great and the room size and condition was amazing. The bath towels were very linty, and the fuzz was getting everywhere - please check on those!

The room itself was good and met expectations; however, the front desk staff were completely unprofessional and disorganized. I called every day starting the Monday before my stay to request an early check-in for Sunday due to a wedding. Each time, I was told the request was noted on my reservation and that there would be no issues. On Sunday morning, I called again and was told that early check-in could not be granted unless I was physically present, so I arrived early in person. Once there, the front desk told me no rooms were available, despite previously stating that guests had been checking out since 9:00 AM. I was repeatedly told to come back in 30 minutes, only to be told again that nothing was ready. I ended up waiting over an hour before finally receiving a room. This experience was frustrating and unprofessional, and not something I have ever experienced at a hotel before. Better communication and consistency from the front desk staff are clearly needed.

When checking in staff said they would send up a blanket because I mentioned I was cold. 5 hours later I called for one because it wasn’t brought up and they never came. I reported the concern and the woman at the front desk just said “sorry about that” she lacked concern for who I actually talked to for accountability and her tone was as though I bothered her. We attend an event every year near there and stay at the hotel. I will not again
