The property is mostly accommodating a wonderful rate for a good room but it is far from a lot of things and the casino is not as big as you would think given the size of the property. The dining is limited considering it is far from almost everything however there was one place that was open late convenient and the food was delicious but more options would be great

Shower was full of mold. Staff was friendly. I understand the establishment is almost 30 year's old, but a multi million dollar hotel and casino could do better in cleanliness and updating rooms and common areas.
