It looks like the property, including the casino, is preparing for updates. Specifically re: the hotel, things look good and are perfectly fine and it almost comes off as a higher end property than it is. It takes a closer look to really see the wear,. However, service is very good and restaurant prices are reasonable. We had a good family stay in a Jr. Suite. Very roomy. It was a convenient base for exploring Santa Fe and some of the national parks/monuments in the area. We came back and enjoyed the indoor pool (it's smaller than pics look) and hottub every evening.
