The room was very clean - would have been nice to have a coffee maker - I was told there would be complementary coffee but when we went to lobby there was no sign of that so it would be nice to get more info on that. The tub was very high, hard to get in and out of. Other than that, all good.

Seemed like a fairly new hotel - very clean and staff was friendly. Very basic room. Beds were comfortable but no extras in room. Wish there was a coffee maker in the room rather than going to first floor common room.

The entire property was beautiful; very aesthetically pleasing. We highly enjoyed the hotel and casino atmosphere. The room itself was a bit chilly when we got in, however, we turned the heat on and everything was great once it warmed up. Would 100% stay here again.
