"Room was smaller than expected. I've stayed in a King room and it was enormous but the double Queen room was pretty average to small. The sliding barn doors on the bathrooms are not very secure or private feeling. Service was excellent, front desk and restaurant. Restaurant food was not great, but the service helped make up for it."

"we chose this as it was near the airport and had a restaurant but the restaurant did not open until 7 am so we had to order food in. The next day I went to order food and I expected it to be higher but 3 breakfast burritos' with potatoes and a bottle of water and coffee were $59 Pretty pricey breakfast. then went to eat lunch at 2 and they were closed. So most of the stay still had to order from Uber and it was a lot cheaper even with the delivery rates. "

"It is super smoky smelling. There is an inconvenience of metal detectors at the entrance for every time you enter. The rooms were nice but smoke permeated everywhere even in the rooms which are non-smoking. You have to walk through the casino to get to the hotel front desk. Security and staff were friendly. Rooms were clean and well kept. It is an unfortunate design. "
