The room was pretty much falling apart. The breakfast sucked. They only had bagels and not very many of them. We didn't have a comforter on our bed and it was advertised that there was a free shuttle to the casino but when we asked about it she said it's not available til 4pm the next day which makes no sense being that check out time is 11am.

The property was under a lot of re-modeling during my stay. There was a lot of painting being done in the exterior of the property making it difficult to feel comfortable. My room was not as clean as I expected too. The bathroom had footprints imprinted on the walls. In addition, there was an altercation in the parking lot which even caused the police to show up to mediate the situation. I ended up only staying 1 night as I was supposed to stay 2 nights since I wasn't happy with the overall atmosphere, look and feel of the property.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life! I feel like a murder scene probably what happened here! There was literally still cigarette butts on the floor, fingerprints all over the walls, and the deadbolt to the room was broken and lactose and at one point. I’ve reached out to management twice and they can’t even take a moment to give me a call back! Again I say DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

I actually did not stay. I when we pulled up and saw the locations, saw the homeless people standing on the corner. I knew it wasn't a safe place for 2 women to stay. We kept an open mind, asked the Front desk gentlemen if we could see the room. He was very kind and said yes. He then pulled down the glass, locked it up on two sides, came out and told us to follow him....down a skinny dirty hallway. With a few zigs & zags, we ended up back outside at the back of the building. He took us to our room. The room was very basic, beds were about 4 inches thick with no bounce. Told him thank you but no thank you.
