Almost everything was good. Dining was very disappointing. Went into one restaurant right off the casino. Had a couple of drinks at the bar then decided to eat. Was told the kitchen was closed. This was at 6:30 on a Friday night! Next morning we went to a different restaurant in the lobby for breakfast at 10:00. The restaurant looked to be less than half full. We were told they couldn't seat anyone else because the kitchen couldn't keep up! Had to leave the property to find somewhere to eat. Didn't go back!

Uncomfortable, dirty, and unhappy staff.

One night stay.. looked forward to comfortable rest from driving, but this ended up being a disappointment. Hotel is outdated, furniture in rooms and public spaces have major wear and tear, and the carpets are stained throughout the hallways. I even saw stains on the walls by the elevators and in halls where liquids once ran down them without being cleaned. How does the staff not notice this? Front desk staff was so incredibly unenthused.. i think we only spoke like 5 words between us at check in. The credit card machines were down at the front desk and the internet across the whole property was out.
