My room was spotless and very comfortable, with excellent water pressure in the shower. The staff were all so kind and welcoming, which made my stay even better. I didn’t get the chance to try out the pool, but it looked inviting and well kept. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer than one night—I’d definitely come back!

The proximity to the casino was just close enough and just far away enough for a break. It’s near cute tourist shops and restaurants. However, for 2 or the 4 nights I was there, a large group of motorcyclists stayed there too and were coming and going at all times of night. They were standing outside my door talking and laughing all night long. Finally at 4am, I opened the door and asked them to be quiet but with such a large group, they couldn’t. If you are going to accommodate just a large group, please put the other guests in a completely different area of the hotel. Not sure I would stay here again given that I didn’t sleep for the last 2 nights.
