The hotel and casino appear new. It is a beautiful facility and very clean. We had an excellent prime rib dinner at the Rain Rock restaurant inside the casino. Our waitress was excellent. Would definitely come back here. Comfy beds and spacious room.

Breakfast is good. Parking is very convenient for trucks and trailers. Rooms are nice. My complain this time were the pillows, they were not the best I had a rough night. Also the staff working had no good customer service. They need to learn to say good morning, good night, etc. to make people feel safe and at home away from home.

Great hotel, great bang for the buck!

Very pleased with the accomodations! The room was spacious and very clean! The pool area could do with a little maintenance, but was very clean overall. The free morning breakfast options were very nice, very adequate. All for a very reasonable price! Thank you!
