A very disappointed couple celebrating there 25th

The bathroom had a terrible smell, there was water on the floor in the bathroom had to keep a towel on the floor, husband fell in bathroom on the wet floor. The curtains were missing a hook, so they wouldn’t keep the spotlight outside our window out. It was like daylight in the middle of the night. I’m sure we will never stay there again.

Reservation was for 2 double beds and in one room we got 2 beds and in the adjoining room, there was only one queen size bed. It was a handicap room and I couldn’t get into the bathtub. I thought there would be a shower, but that’s all I have to say.

Gamble, eat, and sleep comfortably.

The restaurant menu was fancier than our normal tastes, but breakfast was excellent and fair cost. Bed was good.

Needs better access from parking ramp.

Hotel was nice, however the access from the parking ramp is a bit out of the way. Long walk to hotel elevator.
