The hotel is very new and shows it - very well equipped and decorated. It’s owned by native Americans. All is excellent except two things - the shower water pressure is pretty dismal and the catering arrangements in the hotel are almost non existent. The main restaurant is only open 7 to 2 weekdays and not at all in the evening. The casino suffers from the same problem as other USA casinos that it stinks of smoke, but the hotel is smoke free. Rooms are very good and clean.

If you’re a veteran, bring your discharge papers!

All was going fine until my husband wanted to redeem their offer of $15 to play in the casino. You had to be a retired military. He showed the gal his ID military card and she said she couldn’t accept it. Never happened before??? Needlesstosay, we promptly left the casino never to return again!

The king suite room was very spacious. I appreciated the living room area with a coffee area and fridge. The bedroom was nice with a large king size bed. And, the bathroom was really nice with double sinks and a double shower. The casino was a good size and the public restrooms were clean and modern. A good hotel to stay in this area.
