Overall, this a great stay. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and very accommodating to any concerns or issues. I rated lower on cleanliness due to my most recent stay: the shower drain had not been cleaned in what looks like some time; the water was almost overflowing onto the floor after just a few moments; when I lifted the metal panel there was a LOT of hair, scum and a couple pieces of garbage. Lower on the facilities: construction going on for some time, the door adjacent the parking lot seemed to get stuck when trying to get in while it was cold, another side exit door barely opens with enough room to squeeze out as it gets stuck on the sidewalk, snow removal was very slow and at times blocked off access to the parking lot around the hotel. The room was tidy, but the bed wasn't made correctly and the mattress protector and sheet kept coming off. Kitchen/restaurant in the hotel is amazing, along with the food, but access is limited to certain days/hours - they do have a snack area that will do in a pinch, but there's not much selection outside sandwiches and junk food. All that said, this is the only place I stay when visiting the area!

Staff was friendly , breakfast was good. Room was very clean and comfortable. Pool is down for maintenance. Staff made a couple comments about how lots of past guests damage rooms. Not sure why it was brought up to me more than once. Overall was good. Would try it again when the pool is open.

Clean looks good but misses final touch

Deposit on the room is insane 500$ but apparently it’s only 250$ now. Crazy. Breakfast is subpar and has extremely limited options. I won’t be staying again

This hotel was very nice, great staff, and includes breakfast. They also have a pool and gym which is an added benefit. All for a decent price. A bit of an inconvenient location for some people but it worked well for me while I was in the area for work. The restaurant at the casino had good food.

Sorry not sorry

The damage deposit was a little to high at this hotel. It took 5 days to get credit back on my card. Otherwise everything was good. I would not consider staying there again, too bad that was always my first choice. The damaged deposit killed it for me.
