It’s a casino in Ely, NV so we didn’t expect much. Rooms are smallish. Beds are ok comfortable. There’s no elevator so you have to cart all your luggage up a flights stairs. Family of 4 so that wasn’t fun. On sight restaurant called Margaritas had some of the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. The hotel staff was very nice and responsive. Parking was easy and convenient. I probably won’t stay here again.

Room was very clean and well decorated -- very inviting. The halls were filled with quality decorations that invited looking. The lobby and outside also had many, many decorations done very well and invited, again, slow down and enjoy. The restaurant had very good portions and food and reasonable prices. Very clean casino.
