The hotel was nice and clean. It seemed typical as far an its niceness as a casino. The hotel exceeded my expectations. The casino underwhelmed me as it was Smokey and pretty smelly. I guess I am used to non smoking casinos so I probably won’t go back. If you are just looking for a place to lay your head for the night, this was a great value.

Wasn’t pleased with not being able to check in at noon being told two days before when I called they said it wouldn’t be a problem. Staff wasn’t very happy or helpful. I was very upset. They said that the room would be ready in an hour. Went back in an hour Then they then told me that their room won’t be ready until three or four, which is regular check-in then went into the room got non-smoking. The room smelled like smoke 😠 faucet did not work cold water in bathroom! 😡
