Our shower soap/shampoo dispensers had fallen off the wall upon arrival and when we reported it to staff, they didn't send anyone to clean it so we had to clean it ourselves. The room itself was average. There was an AC unit, but staff said it had been shut off since it's an "eco friendly" property. Our room was around 80° the whole time. The best quality was the accessible parking and the walkablility to restaurants, retail and casinos. However, it was not worth the price tag and I would not be staying again.

Close to event I was attending. Poorly maintained. Repairs not performed. Noisy clientele, single payne windows, bath flooring linoleum had a hole with lino peeled up right in the walkway. Tub spigot leaked continously, toilet flush valve always stuck , so I felt it necessary to open toilet tank and unstick the valve so it would stop running. Thin walls. One can hear everything going on outside If you just need a bed to sleep, and don't care about the rest then ok.
