Staff were minimal, not a lot of service offered. Staff was friendly, but understaffed for hotel and casino part. Some weird smells in hotel, but the room itself was very good.

Air conditioner kept us awake all night and they only have double beds when it calls for a single bed room! If only one bed it should at least be a queen size and keep double beds for single occupants. Too warm to be in a double bed or I would have shut off ac to sleep better. Also the door was very dirty. We like the location because it’s close to the doctors we see when we come to the city so it would be nice to see some upgrades for the rates we pay!

The smell of the room was horrible. I had a hard time sleeping in the room due to the smell. The room wasn’t properly cleaned. There was a used facecloth on the shower curtain rod from the previous occupants, that was kind of disgusting.
