Disliked: Staff & service
I stayed at this hotel recently, and overall the experience was okay but could be improved. The room felt outdated, and the TV was quite small compared to what I expected that I couldn’t even used. The kitchen was also missing several basic items, which made it less convenient to use. With some updates and better equipment, this place could be much more comfortable

The only upside to this place is the location. The mattress had undulations and body indentations; the bathroom shower was falling apart; the nozzles don't work properly. Just make sure you drink enough at the casino so you can't remember the experience.

The reason I did not give this property a higher rating is that the shower did not work well. The heat of the water went from freezing cold to scalding hot over the course of a minute or so, over and over. We could not figure out how to adjust the temperature to one temperature, let alone warm.

The staff were all very nice. We had issues with the first room we received. It smelt terrible, old and felt dirty. The second room was nicer, but still had stains on sheets, bathroom was dirty and still had a dirty feel to it. This location needs lots of TLC, but location was excellent.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
• Hygiene Issues: Upon arrival, the water from the bathroom taps was dirty. When questioned, staff claimed it was due to the room being vacant for a long time—though this should have been flushed out before my check-in. Additionally, the kitchen utensils were not properly cleaned. • Facilities: The bathtub was missing a drain plug, rendering it completely useless. It felt like it was there for show rather than function. • Noise Disturbance: The bathroom exhaust fan was extremely loud. The noise was so significant that it disrupted my sleep throughout the night.
