The room was very nice and roomy, the king size bed was perfect, very comfortable. Unfortunately the location of the room was right next to the laundry room so all you heard all day/night was the slamming of that door… The a/c worked great but the heater did not work, fortunately we had a fireplace that kept us plenty warm. Also no internet so we couldn’t really watch tv.. But the staff was super friendly and always ready to help.

Honestly the best hotel. Staff was really nice, room was really clean, parking was easy. The location was perfect with a 5 minute walk to harrah’s snd other casinos. We stay in a lot of hotels and this was probably one of my favorites. They are pet friendly, we didn’t bring ours this time but to know they have dog blankets and towels in your room to dry off your dog was a big win in my book. I typically don’t stay in the same hotel twice, this one I definitely will be back.
