Hotel was good, but don't expect to eat dinner here without a reservation and breakfast at 7AM took over and hour and a half. Hotel bathroom was not clean when we checked in, the housekeeper forgot to get the sink, bathroom counter and mirror. However, housekeeping came right away and cleaned it up. Beds were nice and the gambling was fun. The pool was also great for the kids. This is the better of the two casino in the area by far.

Things happened beyond their control but still inconveniences. Front desk and house keeping were all amazing. System was down so couldn’t check in until later then water was turned off because the water was turned off by the city. Casino staff were not at all helpful. All seemed to hate their job, and it was a very “not my job” atmosphere so I went elsewhere.
