The front desk staff were great. Both ladies we dealt with were personable and helpful. For the price, the room, and basically the whole hotel, could use some basic updates, painting, and deep cleaning. It pales in comparison to the elaborately appointed casino areas.

The hotel has two parts. A newer one which they do no put you in if you book through "third party" clearly the owner is skimping on house cleaning staff. The rooms only get cleaned everyother day the rug relt damp from.being so old. It felt nasty on your feet. I requested a room change and was told it would cost me $30 more and they still never switched my room. They wete not willing to put me in the new sectuon of the hotel because I booked 3rd party. The worst experince by far
