This was, without a doubt the nicest, cleanest, most well thought out property I've been to. Mary who i spoke to before going advised me it was a 4 Diamond Resort. Thank you Mary, I now know what a 4 Diamond resort looks like. It was an amazing, pool area, casino, restaurants, hotel, all 5 stars!! Or 5 Diamonds... Brittany was extremely helpful when we checked in. A wonderful experience. First Class all the way thru... Just an amazing experience. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again, A.

WOW… great staff, clean room, and the Casino was beautiful. Self parking was easy. The room was much better than expected, the mattress and pillows were amazing, we received a goodnight sleep. It exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to stay there again, I do not normally write reviews, but I highly recommend this hotel.
