The property is a nice value, alternative to Caesars Windsor. The riverview suite was nice as it had 2 separate rooms, as well as two separate bathrooms, refrigerators, and microwaves. However, the sofa bed matress was thin, uncomfortable, and seemed heavily used; it should likely be replaced. The hotel parking lot is small but there is a parking structure nearby. I would stay again!
