The casino was great except it was difficult to get a drink . Only saw 1 server and she only came in our area one time. The girl who checked us in was not helpful. I asked if the room she gave us was close to an elevator as my husband is slightly handicapped. She gave us rm 242 which was the last room at the end of the hall.not at all close to the elevator. After I signed for the room. She put the room key on the counter and walked away. I asked her if we were done and she said”yeah”. I had to ask her where the elevator was. She should have given direction right away as it wasn’t easy to find.

Was a great stay. The only thing that could've been better was the WIFI. It was spotty at best, and AT&T didn't get great service there either. Other than that, it was awesome!
