Honestly the best hotel. Staff was really nice, room was really clean, parking was easy. The location was perfect with a 5 minute walk to harrah’s snd other casinos. We stay in a lot of hotels and this was probably one of my favorites. They are pet friendly, we didn’t bring ours this time but to know they have dog blankets and towels in your room to dry off your dog was a big win in my book. I typically don’t stay in the same hotel twice, this one I definitely will be back.
