Great little hideaway and location. Feels safe despite the casino which stays open late. Thought it a bit pricy for the location.

The suite itself was nice (though some of the dishes in the cupboards were not clean). We had arranged a late check-out, accepting the additional charge. But the next morning we were told we had to vacate 1 hour earlier. It was rather inconvenient. They did not properly charge us for the late check-out, so I guess it was not registered in their system. And it happened that they subsequently accepted an EARLY check-in the next day for our very suite, which got precedence over our late check-out request. Our forced hasty exit left us feeling annoyed.
