9/10 Wonderful! (2,912 reviews)
Check-in was REDUNCULACLY slow. However the staff was very accommodating. It was conveniently located near Kalahari pool park. The prices here were much more reasonable than those charged by the pool park. Also, being attached to a casino, may have been the reason I didn't notice a lot of kids running around. Bathroom was quite luxurious in my room. While I enjoyed the decor in my room, my friend in another room on the same floor had quite a different experience. I guess decor is in the eye-of-the-beholder, but I did agree that my room was much more nicely furnished. Overall what you would expect for a casino-hotel. I would stay again.

Could not adjust the room temperature with the thermostat. Pillows would inflate the second you lay off of it. Food was good and sauna was good.
