The staff was great to work with and our hotel room really nice. The bedding could have been a little nicer for a King Deluxe room. We diffidently would stay here again though.

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was smooth as silk. I checked in online ahead of time and it was very easy to pick up my key cards. Workers were very friendly and the breakfast was very good. It was a great stop for a quick one night stay and I will definitely plan on using this hotel again next time Hopefully on my next visit, I will have time to visit the casino across the road.

Very nice property with spacious rooms. Our only complaint was undercooked items at breakfast. I recommend staying on the top floor to avoid foot traffic noise from above.
