Excellent place to stay

Very clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. The room was huge and very clean. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Even though it is a gaming hotel, we didn’t hear any noise in our room. This is going to be my hotel of choice in the future.

My wife and I wanted a weekend winter getaway. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was great and very helpful. The dinning at Oliver's was awesome. It is a little pricy, but we thought the food and service was well worth the price. We look forward to coming back again.
