Super comfy beds, ice cold ac & a huge ADA compliant roll in shower in the room we were given! 2 convenience stores, a casino & dispensary within walking distance!
Always a great place to stay. We've been coming here as soon as they opened. Always friendly staff and clean rooms.
Great place to visit. The people were very friendly. Made a lot of new friends. The food at the casino was delicious and you get way more than what you pay for
Family stays almost weekly while on work travel. Tagged along. Good service. Rooms in the process of being upgraded. Was very quiet during the night.
Only thing missing is a swimming pool, oh and a hair dryer. The rooms are nice.
Good place. I will stay again. Only thing no breakfast available
It was fine. Everything you should expect from hotel. Only issue was no Wi-Fi.
We rented the meeting room for a couple of hours and were soooo impressed! Everything was very clean. Staff was extremely friendly. Cost was very reasonable. Definitely 5 star service. Thank you!
