Dinner Buffet

Dinner Buffet-5 Star, Prime rib, all you can eat crab legs, pho bar, dessert bar, vegs and starches, oven pizzas, etc. Look for elevator to rooms in center, right past restaurant. They are on the opposite side of wall. You don’t want to walk past them to casino or parking lot hallways. Must have key to access elevators. Casino was average, free drinks for people gambling. Rooms comfortable. Good beds. Lots of pillows.

It was very clean and friendly but we got a whirlpool room and our whirlpool was terrible. It was so loud we could hardly talk while we were in there and the vibration on the end with the motor was terrible. 3 of the jets didn’t work on top of that. For the price we paid it was very disappointing. Would like to get a partial refund of some kind but told we had to go thru Expedia since that is how we booked. Hope is goes to them because Expedia doesn’t have a complaint department on their website. Would like some help with this if possible!
