The staff were very polite. However the room itself was very dusty and mom left with swollen eyes. The WiFi also does not work so I had to leave in order to work from my laptop.

Three of us stayed in 2 queen bedroom. It was clean, beds comfortable. There was small fridge in the room, but no coffee maker etc. Dining options include Starbucks and 3 restaurants inside the casino, pretty noisy and not very appetizing.Outside beautiful river walk
