Breakfast was amazing. Fresh off a menu. No fake eggs etc. well worth the $11 upgrade.
Only thing missing was a hot tub but the rest of the place compensated for that.
So nice to have a bar/restaurant on site with delicious food and reasonable prices for dinner.
Excellent in every way! Pet friendly, kind and speedy check-in personnel, spacious and clean rooms, amenities include a mini fridge and Keurig coffee machine.
Our room was very clean and updated. The front desk was very polite and helpful. We enjoyed that it was connected to the casino so we did not have to go outside. The steakhouse in the casino was great!
