No one at front desk, check in was a nightmare. The room I paid for wasn’t available so I ended up leaving and getting a refund. Room was nice but beds were not comfy and blanket were scratchy. The lobby had nice things but the overall feel of the hotel is old and dirty

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Ryan who finally checked us in was the only cordial one who worked there. We left with several bags, waited at curb side and watched 2 employees chatting in cart! Did not offer to take our things to car. Had to walk and pick up car.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It will be really awesome when they get the new casino finished. The pool is great and golfing.
