There are 4 restaurants on site, but only one was open. There were shuttle buses, but no shuttles to the airport, which doesn’t make any sense. Hotel felt worn. Overall a comfortable and fine experience, but not overly nice

Definitely a top casino/hotel in a smaller town. Tons of food options. The casino is very nice and just steps from the hotel. The parking is easy and definitely safe when they have a parking garage. The staff are very friendly and easy to work with.
