Great Location!
Great location! My husband and I stayed for five days for a vacation away from the kids. Our hotel was right next to all the hustle and bustle. Service was great and friendly, they kept it simple and communicated via text which was convenient since we were out pretty much early every day and stayed out all day exploring so asking for more towels was done via text. The room was clean and the decor was cute and rustic, I enjoyed the art work hung in our room. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I’ve had at a hotel believe it or not. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Great stay and great experience.

The room must have been a pet room. There was dry pet food on the carpet. Dirty carpet and the shower was awful. Could not even make coffee in the room. No microwaves. Only reason I gave two stars was the bed was comfortable and close to the casinos.

The folk coffee was great loved it! The room was not clean the carpet there were left over pieces on the carpet around the corners not. Room was big with balcony instead of an 1 metal chair you could have used nice loveseat. Walking distance to the casinos. I would go back if the price is good.

Basecamp Stay
Good spot! Really dug the vibe of the hotel. The onsite brewery, cafe, and beer-garden where bonuses I was unaware of when I booked the room. Only wish there was an elevator. (I was with my dad who cannot walk well.) But he managed the stairs ok. Keep that in mind if you are a parent with strollers for the kids. Honestly though - it was no major issue for me, and I would stay here again.
