Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The reception staff were wonderful — genuinely friendly and helpful. My room was exceptionally nice: large, stylish, and very comfortable, with great furniture and a bed I didn’t want to leave. The hotel itself feels upscale and well maintained. The only downside is the smoke. Because people are allowed to smoke in the casino, the smell drifts through much of the building. If you’re sensitive to smoke, that’s something to know before you book.
