Got a pet room. It was dirty. Restaurant food was really not good at all we tried it twice. Some of the worst pizza we’ve ever had at the cafe. Casino was nice but the clientele was not good. Bad crowd hanging around the hotel afterhours. Hot tub had brown debris floating in it with white foam. And we could see light through the room door and heard every noise around us the entire stay. Most of the staff was pleasant.

Always a pleasure

Love the views of the mountains off the public patio. Has a pool and hot tub. Full gym, basketball court and sauna across the street, the guess have access. It’s was always quiet. Complementary breakfast, steaks for dinner, fish and plenty more options to fit any size family or solo traveler. I will definitely be returning.

Great location and amenities

We picked this hotel while on a coastal road trip. The price was right, the check was in was very convenient, the shower pressure was amazing, and the view was beautiful. Will stay again for sure!
