Considering it's close to a busy area, it's pretty quiet. Room and furniture are a bit older, but functional. Bed is not super comfortable, but not horrible either. The biggest complaint I have is that there are not power outlets by the bed to charge your electronics. There is an outlet but it is use by a lamp and an internet router. The other outlet is way behind the table on the other side of the room and impossible to get to. This is easily solved if you can get some new lamps that have USB ports and power outlets on them.

The staff at check in and check out were very sweet and friendly. The room was decent size with two queen beds. the bigger fridge was great. the bathroom was fine, luckily there was a window that looked out to a brick wall to we were able to leave it over since there is no fan in the bathroom. the toilet and tub were slow draining/flushing. The pool/hot tub was under construction, which kinda of sucked for the summer but oh well. decent place to stay and very close to everything. Tons of Lime scooters which helped with getting to the casinos a lot faster.

Great place to stay

Our stay was great! The room was nice and clean. The only thing I'd say is the pillows were pretty thin and bed was a little hard but other than that the stay was great. I'd definitely stay again and it was in a great location.

Property had bed spreads from the 80s, nothing like the website description or pictures. For $270 a night, I expect better property conditions. The shower stall is disgusting and looks painted over . Cracked walls and scuffed furniture. Would not recommend.
