    "We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Originally I was concerned about noise due to the casino but we heard nothing in our room. Our room was great. Clean and had everything we needed. The restaurant far exceeded our expectations. Food was very good. Service was fantastic. I hope we get back there again soon. In the evening we took the shuttle to downtown and enjoyed seeing the area. Very convenient shuttle service."

    "The Continental breakfast was good but would have been nice with a few more options like fresh fruit. Being the gluten free and lactose free person of the group only option was GF Cheerios and small amount of regular milk. Or a fruit cup. Coffee was quite good as some hotels have bad coffee."
