The hotel is gorgeous! Room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Staff was friendly. We had no problems at all! We stayed 3 nights. Food in all the restaurants was a little pricey, but the prime rib sandwich in the casino was the best I have ever had! I would definitely recommend and we will go back!

Pillows were rock hard. This is a 5 star casino hotel with a pool. No bathrobes in room. Buffet was shut down. Restaurant floors vibrated like an engine was in the floor. Ordered a take away grinder sandwich that came on bread because they ran out of rolls. There is no place else to eat, yet the options here are very limited.

Cool property, great for walks/exercise. Pools were great aside from all the kids in the hot tubs. Staff at lobby desk and Red Sage bar were not friendly nor courteous. We choose to go elsewhere but not many (nicer) dining options in nearby areas. Room lacked a microwave and was a bit “worn” in areas.
