For an accessible room it was very dark and I complained to front desk never offered to bring another lamp. Bed was so creaky and lumpy. Was in room 335 beside elevator noise all night people and elevator. It was u derstood there was a restaurant on premises but no food. You had to walk outside and go to casino and with a walker and sensory issues to a casino noise I could not do it. I waited 1.5 hours for a pizza. No coffee in rooms and u could only get a coffee from 6am to noon. Rediculous. Not very happy
