Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
Many guests reported rooms were neat and smelled good and several reviews call the rooms 'very clean', but there are recurring negatives (old food in a refrigerator, halls dirty during renovation, inconsistent room refreshes) that lower this score.
Service
7.9
Staff are frequently described as friendly and pleasant; however, there are isolated service problems (rude check-in staff, understaffing excuses, housekeeping inconsistencies) so the score is modestly positive.
Location
8.8
Consistently noted as convenient (right off the interstate, connected to the casino) and a draw for guests; strong location sentiment throughout reviews.
Room Quality
8.2
Many guests praised recently renovated, spacious rooms and comfortable beds and good TVs, though some reported hard beds, missing advertised refrigerators, or disruption from construction.
Amenities
7.1
Casino and on-site restaurant are positive highlights, but removals (no pool/hot tub), laundry/coin issues, lack of refrigerators and renovation access problems reduce this score.
Value for Money
6.6
Multiple complaints about extra fees (e.g., $28 early check-in charge, $100 deposit) and a mismatched room booking lower perceived value despite good rooms and casino access.
Food and Beverage
7.9
Restaurant receives praise and some breakfast items were called excellent, though overall breakfast was described as 'meh' by several guests; mixed-to-positive sentiment.
Overall Experience
9.1
Overall sentiment is positive — many guests described 'perfect' stays, friendly staff, and an enjoyable casino atmosphere. Renovation disruption is noted but the strong positives (service instances, renovated rooms and casino/dining) justify a higher overall score to reflect guests’ tendency to recommend or return.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

I was charged a $28 early check-in fee. I checked in at 2:35, 25 minutes early and had to pay the fee which I thought was ridiculous.

Pros:

We were there for 10 days and only had our room cleaned or refreshed 1 day. I don’t understand how you think 1 roll of toilet paper would last us 10 days. We had to empty our trash every day and get towels and toilet paper from the front desk.

Pros:

Need better breakfasts. When the elevator breaks have employees at the stairwells to carry the bags. When told the toilet is broke, fix it. Dont let your employees say we can't because we are under staffed. Makes you look like a bad place to work for and stay at.

Always fun
Pros:

They are remodeling. Our room was re-done and was spacious and clean. Breakfast was kinda "meh". The casino is the big draw.

Mostly great
Pros:

Everything was great until i tried to do laundry. The front desk said she didn't have a roll of quarters... she said go to the casino cage to get them... they said they couldn't me a roll and that i should just walked across the street to the convenience store. Make the machines credit card accessible or put a coin machine in... also, 1 dryer to 3 washers?! Actually 2 washers because 1 was out if order

Pros:

The eggs and biscuits & gravy served at breakfast was excellent. The shower head in my room was nice. The casino was a lot of fun to stand in the bar area and talk and have a good time.
Our rooms did not have a refrigerator as advertised and when I called the front desk, I was told none were available.

Pros:

under construction right now so we walked right by the check in for hotel, first time staying over night and when i said something to the person checking us in he was rude, said well there is a sign. When I asked this person about the valet service he said we have not had that in years well i said we saw that sign. The bed was very comfortable and the other service was pretty pleasant and helpful. Like the idea about having a non smoking area
