We stayed in the King room at the hotel and it was large and luxurious. I loved having the robes. The only drawback was the dining options - only one restaurant was open and 3 others were closed.

Rooms are always great and comfortable, it’s a casino so obviously there will be cigarette smells on property but never on the hotel portions which is very nice. Bath tub is gigantic which my girlfriend loves.

"Resort" amenities disappointing
Amenitities not resort level. Previous stay last October, we enjoyed pool/patio area but it was not available this time even though website stated open until end of the month. Front desk said it's only open on weekends so no option to enjoy outdoor seating or patio game area. Management states benches are available but all I could find were 2 park benches located in the entrance drive up area. Equivilant to sitting at a bus stop with cars entering/exit casino entrance. Slots not engaging this time around either. Last visit we sat at machine for about an hour with game giving and taking. This visit money gone within 10 minutes. Do enjoy having a smoke-free slot machine room since cigarette smell overwhelming but that's a casino. Unfortunately, didn't get to enjoy resort amenities so may not return if that's not included anymore.

We were pleasantly surprised with our accommodations ( 2 queen suite). The room was clean and appointed nicely. Our teens used the gym which was fine. We would stay here again for these reasons. However, when walking into the hotel side, the smoke from the casino was awful. I have stayed in casino hotels in Vegas where everyone smokes everywhere so I do get that you can't escape the smoke, but when there is emphasis on the hotel being smoke free, I think they can address this poor first impression. Also, the pool and tub were closed and Thunder Valley does not have anything for kids to do (no arcade, etc). So unless the outdoor amenities are open, its really only for adult activitites.

Our sincere apologies that we may have fallen short regarding the smell of smoke,. Our pools /hot tub are only open during the summer months as they are located outside. I will certainly forward your concerns to our management team. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future, in hopes of exceeding all your expectations. Take good care!
