Easy check in. Plenty of free parking in front of hotel. Comfortable temperature throughout the facility (not too hot, not too cold). We had the jacuzzi suite and it was fantastic. The jacuzzi was very big. Exceeded my expectations. I did not like that a complimentary breakfast was not offered.

Wife and i went for a quick weekend getaway. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, staff was nice, food at the restaurant was great. Pillows were a little too firm for my taste, but overall a great weekend.

Things were basically as stated and Great, Carpet in room needs cleaned. Disappointed in the lack of customer Service at the ESPN bar which was part of the reason (along with invited guests), we chose this hotel stay.

One of worse stays ever.

Check in was a disaster. Waited over an hour and they still couldn’t make a room key. The entire digital key service was inoperable. They took us to the room a hour later but we couldn’t leave as we had no way back into the room or elevator. They called the room hours later to say a key was ready but they wouldn’t deliver it as they needed identification and wouldn’t look at our ID in the hallway or room. Couldn’t go to the Casino. The lobby reeked of smoke. The bar didn’t have the menu Cabernet wine and the replacement wine was horrible for the same price.

The room was incredibly dirty. Staff was not overly friendly. Our feet were black from walking barefoot on the carpet in our room. Room also did not smell very pleasant.
