Dated but clean

Hotel rooms are very outdated and lacked decent air ventilation, the sheets and bedding were scratchy and felt like they had been used for about 20 years. I also received an attitude from the front desk woman because we booked through hotels.com/expedia when I asked a question about a different room type. If you are arriving later than 8pm make sure you get dinner before you arrive, there is 1 cafe that serves food after that time.

We had a short one night stay, but it was great. Room was spacious and clean. At first we didn’t realize that the free continental breakfast was only Monday through Friday so we had to eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The food was excellent and affordable.

In general the entire staff displayed a dismissive attitude when dealing with guests. You could tell that this was just a paycheck for them and they were just working until their shift was done. On our next visit to the area we will stay at the Turning Stone casino. We were extremely disappointed with our stay.
