hotel room was spacious and well designed. Staff was very nice. Some downsides include an overly complex AC system, and a porch with significant insect activity, without much evidence of cleaning.

The room was clean, safe, and convenient. The walk in shower was spacious. The TV was HUGE! (My husband's favorite part) Front desk staff was helpful. The shuttle service was great. The hotel (a.k.a. lodge) is up and away from the casino so you don't hear the bing, clang, bing of slot machines as you're trying to sleep.

I thought the property was beautiful. The patio doors to a terrace or small deck for a sitting area was wonderful. I would of liked it closer to the casino but the shuttle was nice. Not having a place for breakfast nearby we drove a bit for this. I would stay again it was really nice and I would recommend it to others
