There was no comp breakfast at this place, but that's fine. The hotel was exceptional, clean, and all about the horse racing in the area. The decor was exemplary to that effect all around the property and the room as well. Woke up in the morning to see a practice track out the window with the jockeys washing, grooming, and running their horses . That was really cool. The casino was fantastic and the machines played well. The rack rate for the night was around $100, but we were able to use some rewards and paid almost nothing. Would highly recommend this place.
