Rooms exceeded expectations!

I was only there for an overnight business trip, so I stayed just the one night. The rooms were recently renovated, the hotel is connected to the casino, plenty of restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc. I stayed on the 5th floor that was recently renovated and it was of course pristine and done right. Definitely, my next hotel when I’m back in the Sacramento area.

Upon checking in staff did not greet me with a friendly smile I paid 288 including tax for my room once I saw the room and saw how small it was I asked if I could pay extra for a larger room they said they had no more rooms available Upon checking in I was not told that I would be receiving a room that overlooked nothing just a white dingy cement view of maybe a roof rooftop not sure what it was on the third floor the bingo stuff was very nice and the steakhouse was a 10 out of 10 the roads to get there had no sign Upon exiting I was routed to a dead end and witnessed a horrible accident in front of thunder Valley in the morning I believe the signs may be a bit confusing for some there were awful enermous puddles just outside that were not visible in the night. Outside area needs to have signs wireceiving
