The hotel is conveniently located near the casino, offering extra spacious and quiet rooms despite the occasional smoke smell. The breakfast could be improved, and the coffee station was lacking. The staff showed hospitality, but there were issues with customer service and amenities like a fridge. The cleanliness needs attention in some areas.
