We went with another couple, getting two rooms. Our room was a Junior Suite which we needed due to handicap issues. It was beyond lovely and very spacious. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The casino was noisy which was to be expected. We enjoyed ourselves playing the slot machines and we also bet on the horse racing.... More

Casino smelled, was old. Layed out in a difficult way to get around. Non smoking area was a joke. Games were old and beat up, i think i saw the same ones in other casinos years ago and they were losers at that time. For $160, the hotel rooms were disgusting and dirty. Not sure why anyone would ever stay... More

We have enjoyed going to the casino because it was a nice afternoon getaway. I have always had a good time playing the slot machines and the comps they gave. In recent visits the machines seem alot tighter than they used to be. For the most part it is really difficult to get a bonus but even if you do... More

I had visited the casino several times and always found it to be a pleasant experience (smoking notwithstanding), but had not stayed at the hotel. This time we stayed overnight and had a thoroughly pleasant experience. The room was large and very clean. The bedding was extremely comfortable...making it hard to get up in the morning. All staff encountered were... More

This is a nice getaway when we are looking to do something. We are not avid gamblers, but we enjoy going here a couple times a year. It is never super crowded and we have never had any problems here. More

The servers in the Casino are the worst I have ever seen. We have actually stood up from a Blackjack table to go to the bar to get drinks. The pit bosses and the dealers agree that the servers suck. The are very attractive but I don't understand the managers having them wear such revealing tops. I mean, I am... More

If you are a smoker, you will love this place! The entire casino floor smelled like smoke and even if you try to avoid it, your clothes and hair will still smell when you leave. I stayed over night and ate at the steakhouse which was excellent. The cafe looked nice and the rooms were large with new carpet and... More

Absolutely terrible customer service. Be careful if you complain at the promotions booth you just may have an amazon challenge you to a fight in the parking lot. Their rewards programs are a joke because you just never know if you are going to actually get credit for your play. The casino is old, dingy and smelly with machines that... More
