Unforgettable trip
Worst trip ever after first night room wasn’t cleaned following day and the towels were removed but not replaced with fresh ones. Room key had to be rekeyed numerous times normally worked for one entry then next attempted entry would not work. Very inconvenient had to go to front seat to get rekeyed.

I enjoyed the quiet halls. My room was close to the elevator and you did not hear any noise. The parking was easy and convenient. I wish the restaurants were open 24/7 but I have stayed here before and will stay again.

This is a run down outdated hotel with advertised pictures that don’t match the facilities actual amenities. The breakfast was very limited; although, they advertise a full breakfast. The swimming pool wasn’t an updated one not to mention from the looks it wasn’t sanitary. The bar area was outdated, one low budget tequila, and the casino only had slot machines, are you serious. Please tear down and rebuild or spend on updates for this outdated facility to the standards of travelers looking for a great quality stay that matches the prices you’re charging!
