Heater was making a rattling sound all through out the night. Until my husband figured out how to turn it off. I ended up freezing the rest of the night because we couldn't turn the heater on. Hardly got any sleep. This doesn't seem like a hotel to me it's more of a motel. Outside rooms. Meaning no indoor hallways. You have to walk across the parking lot to get to the front office (like I said nothing connected indoors) very little amenities. Just the basics. Location is great. Right across the street from Ceasars Republic which has replaced Harvey's Casino. If nothing of what I wrote matters to you and you are looking for location over everything else. Then this spot is for you.

Amenities, room cleanliness and toiletrues need to be replenished. Monitring of each room, as the room we had, the screw for the shampoo, conditioner & body wash holder was so loose, it was almost out from where it should hold.

Nice clean simple rooms. Great friendly staff. Great location. On site food and brewery. Nice outside ambiance. Well worth the $. Only one request - strange looking ceiling fans that are very noisy could be changed to fit decor and be quieter.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice and attentive. The only complaint was that on Saturday night we had difficulty finding parking due to the restaurant using the same parking as the hotel. But other than that it was great!
