The entire property was beautiful; very aesthetically pleasing. We highly enjoyed the hotel and casino atmosphere. The room itself was a bit chilly when we got in, however, we turned the heat on and everything was great once it warmed up. Would 100% stay here again.

Seemed like a fairly new hotel - very clean and staff was friendly. Very basic room. Beds were comfortable but no extras in room. Wish there was a coffee maker in the room rather than going to first floor common room.
