A good solid room. Hotel room was quiet and the A/C worked well. 24-hour free coffee in the lobby. Breakfast was a bit on the sparse side. Overall a good alternative to staying at the mondo expensive Casino hotel. I would probably stay there again.

It was nice to have a laundry room since we've been traveling a while. The locations is excellent and the owners are good people. However, some of the room conditions could be improved during off season. Examples from our room include a desk chair that would flip you over; and a toilet that rocked with a seat that looked burnt under the lid. Just minor stuff. Overall, it was a quite, nice place to stay. We've stayed here several times now and each time has been comfortable.
