The hotel was under construction with a rehab but no work going on late or super early. Hotel was close to the casino and downtown. Clean and comfortable
Convenient to main highway, yet quiet since it sits upon a hillside. Staff was efficient and friendly. Breakfast was wonderful. Updates to room are recommended for charging station and lighting. ( stayed in a suite ).
