Great hotel with nice amenities
The stay was very nice. We reserved a King non smoking room, but we were given an accessible room instead. The room was still very nice, but we were told that because we used a 3rd party to book the room, they always give accessible rooms instead. Fortunately the shower situation was acceptable to us, we decided to keep the room. I just found it unusual that since we used a “3rd party” we were not given the room we requested and expected. Also there was not a restaurant in the resort that served breakfast other than a “grab and go”type place.

Comfy, Great Location, and Amazing Shower!
This was a fantastic stay and we can't wait to come back! The hotel was clean and we adored all of the little special touches we found. The location was perfect for our needs, and we loved being an elevator ride away from the casino and restaurants. The shower was fabulous and probably my favorite part of staying here, it was like a getting a warm hug each morning!

I loved this property, especially for the money (less than $100 per night, off-season). It truly felt upscale and four-star quality. It was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with a Kentucky Derby motif. The King bed was spacious and comfy. The hotel had a great bar, 2 dining options, and plenty of slot machines for amusement. The only thing I didn't like was that I could hear other patrons if they were in the hallway near my room. As no children were allowed in the hotel, this was not a huge issue as the hallways overall were very quiet. There was no 'free' breakfast but I actually preferred the restaurant on the premises and its reasonably priced dining options.
