We checked in and went to our room. The toilet wouldn't stop running. The gal at the front desk said that she could put us in a different room. I told her that wasn't necessary. Just send someone up to fix it. Oh, there's no one on staff to do that today. She gave us another room. It was a smoking room. It smelled like a dirty ashtray. We stayed anyway. I will say, the beds and pillows were comfortable.

Overall it was a good experience. Our big issue was there being no refrigerator or microwave in the room. Bar and grill in building had friendly staff and good food. Bed was comfortable. Continental breakfast was a big fail.

Smoky smell is a turn off

Room was beautiful and comfortable... lobby reeked of smoke from the casino. I requested a room far away from casino after reading many posts regarding that, so we didn't have issue in our room

Fine Hotel for Small Town, Not Many Ammenities

Hotel is fine but haven't been around smoking rooms in a long time and it is an option on the first floor. We stayed on second floor, so not as noticeable but still aware of lingering smoke. Rooms do not have microwaves or small fridges, which we have become accustomed to. No deal breakers, just need to be aware of

After reading some reviews, my expectations were low, however I was pleasantly surprised with the exception of the strong smell of smoke in the public areas. I asked that they put an air ionizer in our room before check-in, and they did do that as our room smelled fresh when we entered. The room was clean, but slightly dated. Carpets seemed newer and clean. The breakfast was indeed continental as advertised, but not great. Prepackaged cinnamon rolls were very cold. I ate my breakfast in the room because of the smoke smell in the breakfast area. The staff was friendly. If you plan to stay, I would definitely recommend requesting an ionizer before check-in, since there are smoking rooms on every floor, so there could be some smoke smell drift even though your room is non smoking.
