"Overall it’s a clean, safe, nice hotel so I’d recommend it but it should be as it’s not cheap. BUT they slack on the little things I felt like such as: The in room coffee kinda sucked and there wasn’t anywhere to get a cup within the hotel and the casino area coffee shop didn’t open until 7am so when you wake up at 6am that wasn’t ideal. There no microwave that I could find in my suite The pool closed at 9pm and doesn’t open until 9am not a huge deal but no early morning swim or later hanging by the pool."
