Meh
It was not made clear on the reservation that breakfast was not complimentary on weekends. There was no hot water and the handle fell off on the faucet. The tub was dirty.

Vernon Downs hotel
Pretty nice quiet hotel. The casino is small. Nice being next to the race track. They were paving the entire hotel parking lot so had to park by the casino.
