Very Good
We verify reviews to ensure the traveler booked with Expedia Group. Travelers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
1st of all, it’s a good property but I assume staffing issues and possibly light patronage had typically 3 of their 4 restaurants closed and a nice bar that wouldn’t even think about waiting on you if they thought you wanted food.
Staff was nice, but they were clearly understaffed. Nice to have bottled water at pool, terrible that there is no recycling (I specifically asked and was told they don’t recycle). Pool was much smaller than I expected. Room was very clean.
Property is not Handicap friendly; my handicap room was down a hallway 110 yards away from the elevators. To the left of the elevators there were only 18 rooms down a short hallway. (This should be where handicap rooms are located). Dining options on property are very limited, our first two nights the only restaurant open for dinner was very expensive ($100 for two people) and not worth the price. In the casino all the self serv drink stations were out of order and never fixed. In some areas of the casino the A/C was so cold you needed to wear a jacket and in other areas it felt like the heat was on, when it was in the high 90's to triple dights outside.
We do not recommend this property and will not be returning.
I like the over all appearance of the building and property itself, lt blended with the architecture and style of area.
Didn’t like that casino was shut down in morning and I had to walk around the whole parking lot to get to my car in over flow area.
The view was great. Room was beautiful. Pool was nice. Only thing is for some reason 2 or 3 of the restaurants weren't open.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2022

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I have been there several times and this is the first time that I wasn't wowed. Dining was average, cleanliness had slipped a little and just overall average.
Not the superb experience that i have had in the past. I was disappointed in the fact that after paying extra for a room with balcony it was unusable because of a huge layer of bird droppings covering everything.
