Room was decent. View of the parking lot sucked. They couldn't upgrade my room to river view because I booked through a third party. (Orbitz, Expedia) which makes no sense to me because there wasn't hardly anybody staying there when we went and there was plenty of empty rooms. Breakfast was descent not great but ok. Staff was really nice and helpful. Still enjoyed our stay.

Affordable, great location, free shuttle to the casino, pretty out back by the river, bunny's and other wildlife, comfortable bed and modern bedding. Older motel so of course some areas are aged but great for the money. If you have 5 star interest, look elsewhere.
