They only have one restaurant open on Mondays and Tuesdays. Room was clean but the a/c in our room was making a ticking sound (especially annoying at night). Staff was courteous and helpful. Breakfast was ok. Selection of slot machines were good, I won some (which made me happy, of course).

It’s convenient but the beds are a little too hard for me and my husband felt the same way although they room rooms are really clean and it’s convenient for being a Casino you also get breakfast coupons. And they give you a couple waters in the refrigerator that are complementary.

Some staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Construction was going on and no pre-warning wasn’t anticipating it. Paid extra for a valley view, it was a view of the gas station and when I asked the front desk they told me to look over it. I requested a receipt for the “$67 deposit “ being returned to my credit card and was denied one. Food was not very good at the food court or the Restaurant. Bed was awful very uncomfortable left with a stiff shoulder and back ache. No “real” blankets just sheets. Will not stay there again.
