My stay overall was great.
Pros:

Everything

Cons:

The bar,food counter was closed due to a low amount of people staying in the hotel that night which doesn’t make sense, paying customers should still have access to all amenities

We had a nice girls trip weekend shopping and staying at the hotel
Pros:

I had a balcony room looking out into the courtyard. The courtyard was a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy in the evening.

Cons:

I wish there was breakfast. But there is a bistro you can buy your own.

An Honest Review
Pros:

Very Clean and neat layout. Close by the Casino, 10 min. walking distance even. Lot's of typical food chains nearby with a Walmart across the street.

Cons:

Ended up paying almost $300 for the night. Will say it was a last minute booking with a $100 pet fee plus $20 per night. Really nice hotel but definitely on the pricey side. It isn't the Taj Mahal.

Good stay...but beware of the unnecessary parking fee
Pros:

The location was awesome!

Cons:

The staff tried to charge a $10 per day parking fee for resisdents who already pay to stay there, in a regular parking lot with no visible security. Why is there an extra fee to park a car? Its nota parking garage valet parking or anything. Even most of the staff members agreed with that the fee was stupid. I personally spoke with management and the fee was waived however, my concern is for others who wont get the fee waived because they dont have a questioning attitude as I do.

Overall, it was a lovely stay.
Pros:

Food was pretty good. Location was perfect.

Cons:

I signed up for the 6:30 shuttle to my sons graduation from boot camp, and the gentleman showed up at 6:50-6:55, didn’t even acknowledge or seem to care that there was a lobby full of people waiting to go. By the time the taxi showed up, the 7am group was waiting to be picked up. I chose this hotel based on that shuttle service. What I thought was going to be convenient and stress free, was not.
