One issue they need to address is the lack of a good security lock on their windows. The current one is very unsafe and would not stop anyone who wanted to get in. THIS IS A MAJOR WORRY!!

Great location and great casino next door. The room smelled strong of some fragrance that was an attempt to hide the strong smell of mold. Outside the room it smelled very strongly of paint. We had an issue with laundry that almost made us late for our flight. Would not return at least to the lodge. The hotel might be nicer.

Hotel and it’s grounds are run down. In dire need of fixing. Room smelt of cigarettes and had cigarette burns on carpet. Got a new room. Service at hotel restaurant was very slow and the food considering the price was well below acceptable.
