Everything was easy and convenient. Check-in went quickly, even after I asked if my second-floor assignment could be moved to the first floor instead. The room was clean, the other guests were quiet, and the casino was less than two minutes away. Perfect stay!

Needed a hotel room to stay for concert in local venue. Price point and location where great for the show. The was clean, staff pleasant. "continental" complimentary breakfast was there (but a bit limited), though considering the price point, that was not that important to me. Pool was closed, due to season, but looked clean. View from pool setting overcast, but looked like it would be nice, if clear day. I will stay here again, if seeing another show at the casino venue.
