I could not stay relocated to Holiday Inn room smelled, taps leaking, carpets dirty, sheet very worn. I would like an apology from Expedia before I reserve again. Out of pocket for room rental. Jim Tait

The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. A refrigerator and/or microwave would have been a nice addition. An earlier breakfast would have been helpful.

We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. This time the place seemed a bit more rundown and not as clean as usual. We love the spacious room we stayed in, and the price was fair.

Perfectly fine as an overnight on a road trip. It’s a tiny place, office not open late, but they were kind enough to text me and hide a key for us. Bed was comfy, room clean , spotless towels… the place just needs TLC. Huge positives are dog friendly and no smoke smell… always an issue in casino towns
