Disliked: Amenities
Not much to do at the property other than going to the casino. In order to find other things to do you have to drive about 30 minutes minimum to find other entertainment options. Other than that the hotel was very clean, staff was very nice and was able to give us places/ideas for additional entertainment.

Beautiful hotel with a luxury feel. Very clean. Very well maintained. For the price I was shocked at how nice the room was. It was a nice sized room with a very comfy bed. Only issue was the parking. There is no reserved area for hotel guests. You have to fight for a parking spot with all the casino goers. Not convenient to unload luggage. Overall was a good experience. Food was really good in the Eats area.
