We loved our stay with the exception of lack of dinning options and had to go elsewhere to eat. We would have liked to go to Mr. G's, but it was closed.

Nice room. I'd stay again.
Spacious room, very clean. I was there on the eve of Opening Day for live racing and there was no fanfare, nothing particularly exciting or welcoming. Signage is sparse and needed. The elevators ran great. The TV was hard to find the channel that you wanted. The guide, didn't match the channels on the TV. They had those annoying shampoo, body get, conditioner dispensers in the shower, but they were empty. I'm hoping that they are reconsidering using them. Recycling options are available everywhere, but as seems to be par for the course, there is nothing letting you know what is recyclable locally. The casino is filled with VLT's, an oldies cover band and only one bar. It's amusing enough. It's run by New York State and it shows.

Not fancy but ok. But breakfast was the pits
Hotel, nothing fancy, was ok, but the breakfast was about as limited as you could get. Bread, doughnuts, a toaster, apples and oranges and some oatmeal packets was about it. Nice view of race track however from breakfast. Casino didn't seem very busy Also would be great if they (and all hotels) added EV chargers.

Locations great & needs some updated air units
Great location. Didnt go to gamble just wanted a good hotel with a pool. We definitely got a nice clean pool. Clean hotel room except one pillow case was past its prime for sure. Otherwise a great stay except the a.c. unit. It is loud when it turns on and off even though I selected continuous flow. I would give it a 9 out of 10. Could use a system of air that didnt wake me up very often and breakfast could use a slight bit more but overall would return.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I stayed the night for business and it was an average hotel, good for a night's sleep. Pros - Soft towels, comfy pillows, good temp control. Cons - Carpet wasn't vacuumed and there was obvious paper on the floor. Outside the hotel smelled like the air freshener in a bathroom which was off-putting but inside wasn't bad. Lack of dining options - nothing close to hotel except the casino in which the dining options were about to close by the time I got to the hotel.
