9.4/10 Exceptional! (776 reviews)
Staff was friendly and competent. We had a minor issue and it was remedied quickly. There was heavy machinery in large construction area between hotel and Crosswinds Casino. They are building another bigger hotel there. Best to ask for a room on front side of hotel, since noise from dozers and graders go until 7pm or so and start up around 630am. It will be great when completed.
