the room was very nice and clean, the staff were very friendly and nice. the casino is very well operated and clean, the restaurant is expensive and so so. The property is not wonderful, i don't think property is that important for a casino who sits outside. I had great fun and we will go back but it will be a while

Beds excellent, very clean facility. Mornings saw free decent coffee or tea. Knowing this ahead of time bring breakfast with you or purchase in Port Perry on route. Cafeteria very clean with microwave and nice outside patio, both small. Port Perry offers excellent dining locations such as Pickles & Olives Bistro, Marwans Global Bistro, etc. just less than 15 minutes away. Not a gambler or might have rated ithigher.

I really like staying here as it is usually very quiet. The beds are comfortable, the rooms spacious and nicely appointed. If you are looking for a good night's sleep in a hotel, I can recommend this. Only downside: there is no breakfast option available for those of us who get up early (before 7am).

I loved that the hotel rooms were very clean, super comfortable bed and the staff were very helpful. If you have a car your quite close to the main shopping district. Otherwise it is quite far to walk into town. I would definetly stay again.

Unfortunately I was situated on the first floor Room 107. There was an extreme amount of noise for most of the night. Maybe people coming in from the bar, hanging out in the lobby or the hallways. I was in town for a workshop and looking forward to a nice evening of rest and recoup. Was woken up multiple times in the night. The room was clean, so that was nice.
