I booked this hotel for my parents for my mother's birthday weekend. They went on and on about how much fun they had and how much they loved their stay. They raved about the friendly and helpful staff, exceptional breakfast and how easy it was to walk over to the casino.

The staff was exceptionally friendly. I really don't think I've ever had a staff as friendly as this one. The rooms were very clean. It is a little bit more of a walk than what you expect to the casino, especially in heels. And breakfast stopped at 9:30 which I thought was a little bit early, but besides that everything was great.

The young man who checked us in was fabulous. He was very friendly and helpful. Was very refreshing! The young lady who was in charge of the breakfast was also fantastic! She was very kind & attentive. Great way to start the day!
Our shower curtain was stained and ripped. Would be nice to have it changed out for a new one. No butter at breakfast which was very disappointing.

I would like to praise your staff at this hotel. We had problems before we got to the hotel. I called to ask some questions. The staff helped us so much and we were treated with respect and friendlyness throughout our stay. I spoke with Dave, Michael, another young man, and a lovely young lady. This staff is on point and they need raises. If we had made money at the casino they would have already had bonuses. Thank you so much for the opportunity to rave about this facility and staff. Sincerely, Shirley M. Lemke P.S. I'll be returning to this hotel.
The Keurig machine didn't work, but it may have been the user who slept about four hours. Lol
