Nice stay for two days for two people. Mattresses firm. Wish they would give you more than two single packets of coffee for two days. Not much choice in menus between the two places you can eat. Arrived at one place at 10:50 AM for breakfast, they close at 11:00 so we had to wait until their only other restaurant opens at 11:00AM. Staff was very good (Front desk, security, maintenance, room attendance, and dealers.

I would say it was very clean and had a nice hot tub and pool. I was kind of disappointed that you had to have a players card to enter what looked like a very nice restaurant with a nice fire going to sit by. So we went in the lounge which was nice, so just a suggestion about the restaurant. Overall a good experience and friendly staff.

When booking a room more than 3 hours earlier and you show up to more than a 75 minute wait just to be able to check in there IS a massive issue. The front desk personnel gave zero fks about any of that though. Desk agents RUDE, hotel average, casino TIGHTER than a gorilla glued object.
