Breakfast was great, Pool was open until Midnight and shares access with the Casino hotel which wasn't expected but also wasn't an issue. Nice river front patio/walkway area for morning breakfast or sunset relaxation. Pool does have open air option. Parking a bit limited as far as close proximity but plenty due to sharing with Casino lot next door. Has robot security in parking area patrolling.

I reserved a King suite, which according to the pictures indicate a separate room for the bed and pull out. When we went up to the room, it was standard King room with a pull out and didn't look like the picture. The front desk was kind enough to pull up the pics and she said she would make a rate adjustment since I paid onsite. At checkout, a different front desk said it would go through the website. 1 day after check-out, I am still waiting on final bill. Also in the room, the pull out was really gross and looked like blood/body fluids. It was heavily stained and falling apart. We asked for several sheet's blankets to cover it up.
