Fabulous stay! Loved the pool/ hot tub and spa. Casino was fun… didn’t think food/ drink options were all that great and certainly not open late in evening.

Every thing about this place was awesome! First the beds were super comfy. I have stayed at hotels with soft beds that you sink into but too soft to sleep in. This hotel have perfect beds. The bathroom was very clean and the staff changed towels daily. The pool was nice and relaxing and the hot tubs were great! It’s a close drive to downtown and other sightseeing places. Staff were friendly and huge parking lot.

Indoor pool and hot tub was nice. The plaza cafe downtown was amazing!!!!
