Few Video Poker Choices
Pros:

I like to play video poker, and there wasn’t a good selection of games available. Machines that were there seemed to be pretty tight.

Decent Casino Experience, though not what I’d call a “Resort”
Pros:

It’s a little bit out of the way but it’s not too far away. If you are traveling here and for some reason choose a different hotel just know that you will not be close enough to walk and traffic is pretty heavy around here so it’s not recommended for distance and safety. Other than that, it is kind of nice that it is tucked away and by itself imo.

Mini trip fun with BF
Pros:

Hotel has been remodeled, room was nice. Added a breakfast bar. Eggs, meats, waffles, cereals and variety of breads. Everything was good.
Casino has had a lot of slots removed that I liked, had fun on some new ones.
Enjoyed mini trip with my best friend.

Not a "Resort" Id barely call it a hotel.
Pros:

They have updated rooms recently but thats about it. Lobby still under construction. No pool or hot tub. No spa. No golf. No shopping. Im not sure why they think this place is a resort. My husband always wants me to go because he enjoys tables. I used to like to watch dogs and have dinner but now no food and walk a mile for a drink and to place bets. No service at all near dog track. This is not a resort. Its a hotel (and not even as nice as some of the Hamptons in the area) with minimal amenities next to a poorly ran casino. Someone with management experience could probably make it a nice place. The staff is nice and very welcoming which is the only reason I give 2 stars.

Over priced and don’t waste your money!
Pros:

No coffee in rooms (what hotel in 2025 doesn’t have coffee in their rooms?)
Breakfast was pathetic; 2 types of muffins, couple of slices of white bread, cold cereal, or packets of oatmeal, that was about it! We couldn’t find a clean table to enjoy this gourmet!

Pros:

Horrible rooms, old and dirty outdated.. this has to be the worst Casino in the world to be a casino and make millions you can’t invest into your rooms is pathetic. Food is zero out of 10 you’re better on driving to Cincinnati or Pittsburgh to other casinos because this is a joke.
