This is a nice hotel at a reasonable price, and the facilities are well maintained. Rooms are immaculate, amenities are excellent, especially gaming areas. Hotel gym is also great. Only short coming is that daily housekeeping needs to be expressly requested, evidently. We will do so at check-in next time, and will definitely return.
