Highly recommended casino hotel property. I stayed here for the Bourbon and Beyond festival and the rooms are spacious, clean, and I felt safe in this neighborhood. I will stay in this hotel again in the future. Only challenge that I encountered was the limited shuttle availability for the festival.

This is a new and very clean hotel. I appreciate the free parking and the free soda in the casino. The physical structure including the beds, sheets, towels curtains, and parking lot are top quality. I only gave them 4 stars for staff and service because I told 3 front desk staff that the coffee pot in my room was broken and leaked on the counter. I asked that the pot be replaced. Again, I asked 3 front desk employees but the coffee pot was never replaced. I also asked that my room be refreshed. I used some of my towels to clean up the spilled coffee. My room was never refreshed, I did not receive new towels and the coffee pot was not replaced even though all 3 people agreed to get these things done. I was able to free coffee in lobby in the mornings. I would still stay at the hotel because it is clean, quite and convenient. I stayed at the hotel 3 nights. However, I now know not to expect some services.

The rooms were nice and spacious, and the decor was beautiful. The track outside with horses running is so cool, and it stays true to the derby theme. We were there for a business conference so we did not gamble, but the food from Lil Wagners inside the gaming center was delicious!
