17.2/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)

The hotel was very nice and the room was spotless. Decor throughout was upscale and all staff members I encountered were friendly. The restaurants were all good to great with the exception of the Burger Joint, where I encountered slow service and an unkempt dining area. The casino was tight, but offered a good variety of games, although the games in the non-smoking area were dated. I had an issue at check in but Kesia took care of it to my satisfaction. I have already recommended this property to others.

Slow check-in. Long line and only 1 employee. Called the front desk at 11 PM with questions about how the TV worked only to be told “I don’t know.” No offer to help. On the plus side, very comfortable bed and good coffee.
