The rooms are immaculately clean, quiet and comfortable. The added bonus is the casino below. I love the rooms overlook an exercising track were in the morning you can look out and see riders exercising their horses. I also like the fact they have a roving security officer at night and the parking lot is very well lit. I love staying here.

This hotel is a casino hotel. Beds were comfy. Trouble with the shower, not hot enough. They fixed it the second morning but it wasn’t too great again the third morning. I needed a shower cap and they didn’t even have one. Someone previously commented on the casino so if you play, I would agree that the machines are tight, I didn’t hear or see many winners and in a place that size it should happen more often. But it’s a comfortable place to stay. We had dinner one night at their upscale restaurant and it was really good and staff were really nice. It’s disappointing you can’t get any breakfast there. .
