Property was clean, seemed like our room was recently remodeled because it smelled like carpet glue. Would be nice to be able to go around in the casino area without the cigarette smoke. The no smoking area was VERY SMALL (appox 25 machines) and in an area that was by the front doors, so it was cold. A lot of casino's where we are from have an area for smokers to go instead of leaving their ashes all over the machines. We won't be back.

Go elsewhere

It wasn’t good. The room was dusty. There were splatters on the bathroom door, hair in /around the tub that weren’t mine, the tub drained slowly, I couldn’t get the internet to work. I wanted ice from the machine. Went to 2 different floors. I called the front desk and got no answer. I went down to let them know. It was to be reported to maintenance and still wasn’t working when I checked out. Then loud guests were in the hallway and slamming doors. You couldn’t sleep. It was the worst experience in a hotel I’ve ever had.

Updated rooms are welcoming.

The room was updated and welcoming. The king bed was fine, but I prefer Temperpedic mattresses. The bathroom amenities did not provide lotion or facial cleansing wipes. Also, only one chair was provided in our room. There was plenty of room for 2 chairs.
