Our room was very clean and updated. The front desk was very polite and helpful. We enjoyed that it was connected to the casino so we did not have to go outside. The steakhouse in the casino was great!

Didn't like the lack of parking and the pump dispensers in the bathroom. Much prefer the individual soaps, shampoos, etc. Did like that the casino is an indoor walk thru the hotel and doors/elevators require a hotel key to get in/use.

The property was walking distance to the convention center, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our shower leaked onto the floor, we told the staff about it but not to work on it until after we left. We pointed the shower head towards a wall so it would not spray onto the floor.
