The first thing I noticed when I walked in was it reaked of cigarette smoke. In the lobby of the hotel. If I had the time, I would have gone somewhere else. The lobby was nowhere near the casino. And it smelled like cigarette smoke everywhere I went. To the one restaurant they had, which was very limiting in menu, in the hallway, even in the hallways to my room. It was disgusting I mentioned it at the front desk and the woman checking me in said it was because of the casino. I don’t stay at hotels to intake other peoples smoke.. There isnt any amount of money that I would pay to stay at this hotel EVER again. . It was miserable.

Customer service
The hotel was basically empty I showed up 20 minutes before my check-in time. They said the only way they could allow me into my room was if I paid an extra $30 even though the room was ready and the hotel was empty. The front desk crew was very dismissive and were not familiar with the property enough to direct me to my room. The staff could use some training on customer service.

They have Gestapo goons who monitor the covered drop off/pickup area. I stopped there and took my bag inside to check-in and took my bag to the room. Before I could get back downstairs to move my car they were already at my door that I had to do that immediately. It couldn’t have been more than 10 minutes including check in. They escorted me down the elevator and outside to make sure that I moved my car. I will NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN. Rooms were badly in need of redecorating. Pathetic excuse for a hotel. I never spent a dime in their casino either. DON’t STAY HERE!!!!
