Great stay

The hotel was beautiful and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Complimentary bottled water was an unexpected bonus. Parking was somewhat challenging due to casino traffic, but not overall terrible. Added bonus was watching the horses train in the mornings from our window!

Overall a nice stay

We really enjoyed our stay for two nights. The room was nice and clean. I do think there should’ve been more channels on the tv though. So that was disappointing. Also did not have a microwave. The casino was impressive and fun. The restaurant was okay.Too overly priced for the amount and quality of food. Drinks at the bar weren’t as expensive as I expected them to be. Overall, we had a nice time and enjoyed our stay.
