The hotel and staff were fine it was the parking situation that was really bad. Too small and the casino people parked where the hotel guests should. I suggest a tag to hang on your mirror and tow or ticket everyone else. Also it wasn’t until I was several miles down the highway heading home that I discovered that someone started to cut off my catalytic converter. It slipped off going down the road from the bolts being cut. Poor security. Once again the hotel was fine just too bad being connected to the casino puts it in a bad location

When we checked in, no one was at the desk. The person working was not welcoming or friendly. Barely communicated with us the basic check in information. We thought there was a restaurant in the hotel but found out the bar only served a pizza. Just not a very welcoming hotel. It was clean, modern & the room was comfortable. The front desk staff were a big let down!
