The staff was overly hospitable, kind, generous, and friendly. They let us stay an hour longer and charged our iPhone when we lost our cord. The Casino is spotless and huge, with free coffee day and night. The room was beautiful as well.

One bed was lumpy, the other was okay- lvf,flooring would be a big improvement as the carpet is sticky in patches in the bedroom and corners in the bathroom need cleaning. The furniture is chipped. The air conditioning was good.
