Very clean and safe. Close to the highway which was good for us. No microwaves in the rooms which would have been nice. One morning there was no coffee bar and since it's part of the casino i would think there would be coffee there, but none to be found. Had to leave the property to get coffee. Rooms very beautiful and nicely decorated. Beds were extremely comfortable.

The room was large and clean. I stayed in a king room one night and a double queen the next. Both rooms had terribly uncomfortable beds. The king sunk in at the head of the bed and the queen sunk in on the side nearest the nightstand. I don’t know if they are cheap mattresses or what, but I know they have never been flipped or rotated. You could feel exactly where people sit and watch tv

Great for the price
Great room for the price, only two issues, number one the entrance for the hotel is not clearly marked I spent 5 minutes circulating the parking lot to find out you use the casino entrance. Number two the shower was only lukewarm.
