Excellent Property Management Team I had a wonderful experience at this property, thanks to their very helpful management team. It's a cold and snowy morning, my car stalled, the property staff came to my rescue and gave me a jump start. When I checked out, I accidentally left behind my AirPods. To my surprise, I received an email from the management team about the forgotten item as soon as I got home. I'm extremely grateful for the property team. I will definitely be returning to this property again in the future.

Decent one night stay.

Got the deluxe suite hoping to relax in the soaking tub but the jets were dirty. Bit of dirt or build up came out of the tub. So couldn't use the tub. This hotel doesn't have a front office. Communication was through text and they responded pretty quickly. The room itself was comfortable and spacious. I really like the electric fireplace. Besides the tub, the only thing that was uncomfortable was the noise. You can hear everything, they did some war plugs for us. This hotel is walking distance to all the restaurants, casinos and shopping areas.
