We have stayed here before with no issues. This time the shuttle to the casino never showed up and the highway traffic noise was loud. We were in room 348 facing the outdoor pool and highway.

All rooms are not created equal here: stay away from the rooms that are adjacent to the indoor pool area unless you enjoy children screaming/yelling at all hours of the day/evening. Also, these rooms are uncomfortably HOT. Also the showers need help. Warm water not hot water and the shower heads spray in 64 different directions.

Easy free parking for truck and 5th wheel camper. Easy access off I81-not a crazy busy exit Front desk was exceptional, Olivia. Could use updates to facility and found card entry door ajar both ipon arrival and departure, which is concerning. Stayed on front side to avoid hearing I81 traffic. Good value for our one night stay
