Noisy but good

The staff were wonderful! The room was spacious and clean. It was also well-equipped and comfortable. The room was dog friendly and had no animal smell, which is a plus. I would have given a 4.5 (9) if it were an option, but it isn't. The only negative was the noise. We had a downstairs room, and it sounded like there was literal construction going on above us from the early morning until evening. Otherwise, it was great, and I'd stay again but in an upstairs room ideally.

Thin walls and not super clean, beds are lumpy. Parking is hard with a big truck, and they want you to clean up after your stay.

OVERALL OK STAY WONT COME BACK

The price was amazing and the front desk is attentive. But there is a LONG list of to do you must take out your trash, put towels in bathtub that are used, etc etc. . The low price isnt worth poor maid service. If the maid doesnt like cleaning dont own a hotel. The pillows are hard too. Overall OK. Will not use them again.

This property is contactless check in/checkout which was very convenient for us. They had a number you could text for any concerns which was very useful. The room was clean and pretty modern. Very walkable to casinos and shops! The only issues we had were the wifi was not working and our room TV did not work, which were not a huge deal for us. I would stay here again!
