Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room looked clean at first, but after a couple of days, found the room to be dirty. We tried using the hot tub and after adding some water, saw that it was filled with things floating around from prior usage. Hair, dark particles, oils, etc were present from prior guests. The cleaning person neglected to vacuum as things were visibly on the floor. I had tipped the cleaning crew each day but the service was lacking.

Its was okay...

The room was not as pictured.... not even close.... the balony does not have a sitting area. the layout is not convenient for the hotel guest. It is tailored to the casino. I expected more for the price paid as well as the name of the facility.

A bit overrated, but - all in all - reasonable. Clean, excellent dining options at decent prices. Good pool, kind’s/families friendly. What I did not liked, there is no fridge in the room. Last, but not least, internet is not free, which sounds a bit weird in 2025.
