Hotel was great but the rate the hotel put on my receipt was $66/night. You charged me $96. Was that your markup?

The property was quiet, beds were comfortable, and the room was very clean…it was so nice to not have that “old, sticky carpet funk feeling” when you walked around in the room. Will book here again!

Very Comfortable. Good Service.
The property is a casino. Smoking and noise is usually a problem around casinos. But that is not the case here. The property is clean and comfortable. However, the food we ordered at Oliver’s was inedible. So, stay at the hotel. Eat elsewhere.
