Rooms were really nice. Very clean!! Free tea and coffee are the good kind. Only thing they could do better is the walkway to and from the casino and hotel. Was cold and icy. Would be nice to have a closed in one.

Room was spotless, the staff at the hotel were very polite and friendly!! Amenities were terrible, all they had was coffee and tea in the morning!! When you wake up on Christmas Day, and everywhere else is closed, it would have been better, to be able to get something to eat!!!
