Pretty nice quiet hotel. The casino is small. Nice being next to the race track. They were paving the entire hotel parking lot so had to park by the casino.

On Sundays restaurants are closed? That was a bit disappointing! The continental breakfast was subpar….stale frozen donuts and Lukewarm coffee….not one staff member to be seen at breakfast in a dingy room! The guest room we stayed in was very nice other than the AC was loud!

I read reviews that said this place was "dated", while it is an older hotel, they are making improvements to it and I was extremely happy. The horse racing and rustic theme is very nice. My room was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great place to stay.
