This is an older hotel although I believe it's been remodeled the hotel bathrooms had a smell and well walking around in the hallway to get to your room it's a little dark and has super old carpet but your rooms will not have a carpet. This hotel has a huge pool and it looks fun if your traveling with children and also has a casino but it smells strongly like cigarettes and they are not like casinos in the us. There's a lot of rules and tables close early and they have limited table games but plenty of slot machines! But the casino is small and not well ventilated
