It wasnt clean, the toilet clogged twice, breakfast was frozen, not enough variety. The fridge broke, was trying to get ice to put in my cooler to keep my milk cold, but they refuse and said we couldnt get ice for our cooler. Our milk spoiled over night and had to buy new milk.

Room was good, bed was comfortable. They are doing some work in some of the rooms but overall I would stay again. The staff was very friendly. The continental breakfast was okay. The things like sausage sandwich and french toast were premade and had to microwave them. Coffee was very good, it was great for a quick breakfast. Within walking distance of a lot of shops and a five minute drive to the casino.
