Pros:

My wife and I stayed two nights and we had a suite. Exceptional large room with a huge bathroom, playful tub and separate shower. The room amenities were above average. We didn’t eat dinner in the hotel and ventured out to the local steakhouse in town, which was very good. This was our second stay at the property and I know we’ll be back.

Pros:

The hotel is very new and shows it - very well equipped and decorated. It’s owned by native Americans. All is excellent except two things - the shower water pressure is pretty dismal and the catering arrangements in the hotel are almost non existent. The main restaurant is only open 7 to 2 weekdays and not at all in the evening. The casino suffers from the same problem as other USA casinos that it stinks of smoke, but the hotel is smoke free. Rooms are very good and clean.

Pros:

Rooms looked upgraded and just the way we liked it. Easy walk to casino. Extremely convenient where you have the restaurant right next to the casino floor! Who would have thought about that? Convenience is what we pay for!!!

Pros:

All was going fine until my husband wanted to redeem their offer of $15 to play in the casino. You had to be a retired military. He showed the gal his ID military card and she said she couldn’t accept it. Never happened before??? Needlesstosay, we promptly left the casino never to return again!

The only thing I disliked about this hotel was the bath towels. They were tiny and thin and rough. Besides that, this place is great would recommend to everyone.

Pros:

The king suite room was very spacious. I appreciated the living room area with a coffee area and fridge. The bedroom was nice with a large king size bed. And, the bathroom was really nice with double sinks and a double shower. The casino was a good size and the public restrooms were clean and modern. A good hotel to stay in this area.
