We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. This time the place seemed a bit more rundown and not as clean as usual. We love the spacious room we stayed in, and the price was fair.

Perfectly fine as an overnight on a road trip. It’s a tiny place, office not open late, but they were kind enough to text me and hide a key for us. Bed was comfy, room clean , spotless towels… the place just needs TLC. Huge positives are dog friendly and no smoke smell… always an issue in casino towns

The check-in date was incorrect, due to auto reset in Expedia website (or user error). The motel honored the rate when we arrived at the end of a 10-day trip.

Very poor breakfast, no fruit, no bread, juice machine out of order. Only warm water in room, never hot. Ventilation fan extremely load. Tub faucet falling off. Lobby closed at 7pm. Who rated this an 8? Should be a 2 at best.
