Great trip for quick outing from KC. Will return.

Facilities (casino, hotel and race track) were all nicer than we anticipated. Check in staff and cleaning crew (in hallway) were all friendly. Appreciate that we were able to check in at 2 instead of 4.

Great location, Great staff, Very clean

Great location. It was nice to be connected to the casino and horse track. Great location for restaurants and things to do. The pool was small, but it was never crowded. Hotel staff were very friendly and the hotel and rooms were very clean. A bit more expensive than other hotels in the area, but I'd say it was worth it. Nice restaurant choices inside the hotel/casino as well.
