I really like this resort. Everything you could need. Only problem was the two restaurants were both closed Thurs evening, the ritzy restaurant out of my budget, and deli/fast food I can’t eat. Breakfast the next morning was great!

My low ranking is because of some cleanliness in my room which was obviously a lack of attention and detail by cleaning staff. But it was enough to gross me out and then became a top of mind to me throughout my stay.

The hotel is gorgeous! Room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Staff was friendly. We had no problems at all! We stayed 3 nights. Food in all the restaurants was a little pricey, but the prime rib sandwich in the casino was the best I have ever had! I would definitely recommend and we will go back!
