Free fountain soda and coffee. Two comp waters. If the area around it wasn't an industrial park where the nearest thing is a 30 minute walk it would be really good. Would stay again.

The room itself was very clean and very well appointed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem early with the ac. The staff came very quickly to assess the problem and immediately set up an alternative room.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was amazing however my expectations for the hotel and accommodations were not exceeded. There were no basic amenities in the hotel or in the room such as ironing board or microwave. The restaurants on site closed too early for guest that returned to the hotel after late hours at work. I voiced my concerns each day with me inquiring about a few things. Every time the front office personnel advised they could not accommodate or just did not have said request. My only positives about it experience are the hotel room being a great size and the casino itself giving credits, points, and special offers via email.
