Nice spot!

In an area of very expensive hotels, this was a great option. Reasonably priced, comfortable and clean. There is a continental breakfast which you can have on the terrace and watch the horses exercising. I will definitely stay again.

We went to go visit our daughter & son-in-law and granddaughter and we were very pleased with the hotel. The rooms were very very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The pool area was really nice and our granddaughter enjoyed it so much. My daughter and i had a bunch of fun playing slots at the casino and even won a little money. The only negative that we had was the buffet wasn't very good at all. I don't know if we just got there at a bad time or what , but everything else was so nice and i think my husband and i have found the perfect place to stay when we visit our daughter, and with the ridiculous prices at many of the hotels in that area Vernon downs was one of the few with lower room prices. See ya next year Vernon downs!!!
