9/10 Wonderful! (40 reviews)
I had booked this room knowing we needed a spot to rest after driving for 14 hours and after reading reviews. There is no staff on site, which doesn’t bother me but I know that matters to some. They email you your door code on your arrival day. No issues there. The building is not in great condition but not totally crumbling either. There was lots of piles sand in all the outside common areas and some trash but it looked like there had been a dust storm recently so that could account for the random sand piles and trash. Our room was clean. The craftsmanship on some of the “repairs” was a little dodgy but again a serviceable place to rest your head. Our linens were clean and bed was a bit creaky with the springs crunching a bit. But slept on it fine. I would advise the cleaning staff to check the bathtub drain after cleaning cause it needs some attention. Stuff sticks in there. On a whole without knowing the owners situation it seems like they are trying. My partner wasn’t so impressed but I found it perfectly serviceable for what it was.

8/10 Very Good! (972 reviews)
The room was clean and nice, the breakfast consisted of mainly carbohydrates and few protein options. The smell from the casino was present as well.
