Do not stay here! It's billed as a Howard Johnson's but is really a residential motel with staff from the casinos living there. The noise level is incredible, and we left in the middle of the night.

This place needs total makeover. The stair to the upper level smells garbage urine. Front desk staffs need to be replaced with someone who has hospitality training, courteous and friendly. None of them qualified. If I was NOT looking for a NOT so expensive place to stay for the night, I will NOT stay here at all. The only reason I stayed here because I was NOT willing to pay for resort fee that big hotels charged, That's the only reason.

It would be be a lot better to have a casino room on the bottom floor for guest to play and the rooms could be a little bigger for walkers or wheel chair access. Breakfast could of had proteins and not so much sweet stuff. Fruit and protein. Everybody was super nice and respectful. Thank you for the stay will do it again some day.
