The room was nice the food was poor. Not much of a choice. Each morning woken up bye noisy work men on there speaker phone. Flashing lights on work trucks. And the worse Casino i have been to. Glad I only booked four nights. Moved to a better and cheaper motel. I wouldn’t recommend staying there.

Service very poor. Staff not friendly and felt like we were annoying. Ordered room service twice. After 1.45hrs called them and reminded them we were waiting. Still didn’t turn up so we abandoned and went elsewhere to spend our money. On the way out of the hotel I notified front desk of our experience and to cancel the order and he didn’t even apologise. Wouldn’t stay there again.

We let reception know on check out and they were so good about it and would have it seen too. Over all great stay. Staff were great too!

Whilst the property is in a good location, Room 81 is right next to the back of house service area and noise from staff entering/exiting the door and activities in this area travelled through to the room. The Sandbar is great for casual dining although is not open on Mon/Tue/Wed evenings, il Piatto is closed on Mon/Tue evenings and Dragon Court is closed on Tue/Wed evenings which if you are staying at the hotel in the first half of the week limits your choice of venue to The Vue which is below average in food options and quality - plus throughout the evening you are constantly interrupted with announcements from the Casino into the restaurant of "member number ..... you have three minutes to claim [$500, $1000 ...] prize money...:

Room was tired & outdated but clean, cleaning staff always smiling & friendly. Markets Thursday & Sunday evenings but no shopping options close by. Free shuttle to some main attractions close by would be helpful for guests. Staff at desk a little vague about sightseeing options for tourists, not helpful when we asked. Lovely pool, pool bar very nice but small. The area around the pool bar should be adults only, no children splashing & yelling around customers or taking up the stools. The pool bar staff are lovely considering during our stay, we observed two males on seperate days, being rude & very disrespectful to the staff making drinks. The staff did very well ignoring the insults. It didn’t appear there was any security close by to ask the men to leave. Overall our stay was pleasant, we weren’t there for the casino so not sure we would stay there again.
