Staff was attentive and friendly. Room was well appointed. Shower had good water pressure and design did not let water splash all over the floor. The room air conditioner vent is on the wall and blows air directly in your face when you aleep. The sheets and pilows smelled like some type of spray that reminded me of sweat and vodka on a hot summer day. There are two night lights - no thank you. Had to cover them. Bathrooom had a motion activated night light. Nice feature.

We stayed here due to limited accommodation in the area. Our room was clean, neat and very spacious. This is a casino so we thought they would be far more dining options. We also thought we had purchased a package with breakfast included so we were very disappointed to see that it wasn’t and that There was nothing around where we could eat.

Fun time in The Finger Lakes Region

Very nice property, we had a great stay overall. We visited the area for the first time to see the Finger Lakes and all the wonderful waterfalls - surprise - the summer has been very dry so the waterfalls were water trickles - still wonderful sights - just disappointed a bit. The hotel / bed was a bit of an issue since the fitted sheet on our King size bed did not fit correctly and would slid off and bunch up during the night as you move - frustrating and hard to sleep.

Returning home from the Poconos.

While the building has a few years on it, the rooms were nicely updated. The buffet for breakfast is a great deal, especially with the additional discount for a first-time stay. Veteran friendly, with casino-run eateries offering 20% off. Easy on/off from the interstate.

Clean Room, but not Resort Quality

All the handicapped parking spots in front of the hotel were full my entire 3 day stay. The lot across the street was not well lit. I saw no signs of any security personnel . The room was clean, but there was no microwave in the room to heat up food brought for my family member’s special diet. I was offered to use the microwave behind the front desk area, but it smelled terrible inside. The room refrigerator was not cold. The hotel info provided said rooms only cleaned upon request. Didn’t want my room cleaned, but the person came into my room anyway while I was gone. They made the bed & opened the curtains, but didn’t clean. So I was pissed off b/c the staff had no reason to enter my room. Not sure if they were searching my stuff. I complained to front desk and asked for the manager each morning (9/9:30) before I left the hotel, but she was never there. I was told I would get a call from her which I never did. The hotel buffet was not good. Not sure what oil base was used to cook omelettes, but it made my omelette taste weird and it was undercooked. Food didn’t appear fresh. The complimentary hotel coffee each morning was not really hot. After adding my creamer I brought from home in my cooler, the coffee was lukewarm at best. Disappointing. Try to get to the hotel before dusk. The roads to get there are narrow, totally dark and winding.
