The room was nice and spacious. You could tell someone, at some time, had smoked in the room. There is only one place to get breakfast, and it’s an order from the menu restaurant. Service was good and the food came out fast. All staff we encountered was very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.

Good Hotel, Sub par Casino

The rooms were comfortable and the room was very clean. The shower and water faucets if not careful can burn you quickly. The water is extremely hot and instantly gets to scolding temperatures. The casino boat was a cool experience other than getting a server for drinks while playing, and that was a huge let down as every place I have ever been serves drinks if you are playing and usually asked non stop if you want more.

Things happened beyond their control but still inconveniences. Front desk and house keeping were all amazing. System was down so couldn’t check in until later then water was turned off because the water was turned off by the city. Casino staff were not at all helpful. All seemed to hate their job, and it was a very “not my job” atmosphere so I went elsewhere.
