8.6/10 Excellent! (998 reviews)
Not sure what is going on with place. It used to be good. Now, they overcharge for absolutely everything, The room was filthy with visible stains, and the casino environment felt highly unsafe due to girls actively robbing money from the customers.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (95 reviews)
I rented the junior suite for my wife and I and we loved it. The space roomy and an A+ on cleanliness. Also has two powerful air conditioners, so it was very easy to control the temperature of the space. There was plenty I was pleased with but at the top of the list was the beds, so comfortable and sheets so soft that my biggest problem of the week was getting out of bed. The only minor downside is that it is located in a business/industrial area so sometimes it got a little noisy from the traffic, but I would certainly stay here again.
