Room was clean and the staff was polite. But it could use newer remodeling. The breakfast was a meager offering, but better than nothing. And what they had was suitable. I appreciated it because our one night stay was just to rest, get up and have coffee and be on our way. And that is probably the exact clientele they are used to. I would stay here again if I needed to.

I arrived later in the day and after staff had closed the office, but they made sure I was able to get into my room, putting a lot of thought into it and reaching out to me for instructions. The room was a good sized one, although the windowed door was a curiosity I had never seen before.

The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. A refrigerator and/or microwave would have been a nice addition. An earlier breakfast would have been helpful.

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
