The building itself is pretty unique. We did really appreciate the anniversary swans, note, and candy. Jacuzzi tub was nice.
The elevators almost cut people off, our chair had a nasty stain and carpet was freying. The room service menu was lacking enough we just went to a gas station for snacks.

Very nice and clean. Small rooms but very well appointed. Desk staff said I had a $25 credit for food being a first time visitor but food was still on my bill. Otherwise great.

At check in, the room we reserved wasn’t available. Why is it called a reservation if a king room hasn’t been reserved? So, she tried getting us to take a jacuzzi room and at our expense! We ended up getting a double queen which was ok, a king would have been nicer, as reserved. The facility was beautiful and clean. Rooms were nice, clean and bedding was comfortable. Shower had great power. Used the little fridge but not the coffee maker. The buffet was ok. Nothing extraordinary. Loved the idea of the casino being on a riverboat. Didn’t know that when I booked. There is a awful smell when you get out of the car to enter hotel. I was told it was a factory plant close by. Wind happened to be blowing it in. I would recommend a stay here. I do hope they get their reservations straightened out tho.

Pros:price
Disappointed with our stay. Being a nonsmoker, this is definitely is a mistake to stay at a casino hotel as the smoke smell was everywhere just walking through the front door.
