The staff was very friendly and it was nice to have 24hr supervised parking lot. The pool and jacuzzis were beautiful. Very fun to have a casino right next door. Great location. The carpets in the halls were very dirty, the beds were very hard and walls are paper thin. We had noisy neighbors and felt like we were in the room with them.
