When you first pull into the casino/hotel, you can pull in close to the check-in desk and someone will valet your car for you which is a nice service. The casino is on your left when you walk in and the hotel is to the right. The hallways are really long, so if your room number is a 10 (ex. room 120, 226, 332, etc.) or higher, than you're going to have a long walk from the elevator.
When we arrived, we had trouble getting into the room. After inserting your room key, you have to push up on the handle instead of down. Awkward, especially if your hands are filled with luggage.
The room is spacious enough for a weekend stay, but it lacked a few basic things:
The desk only has two plug-in outlets which are occupied with a clock and lamp. So, if you want to plug up computer to work/surf at the desk, then you have to unplug the clock or the lamp.
You definitely don't want to unplug the lamp! The room has three light fixtures and with all three on, you pretty much have the power wattage of three candles. The room, even in the daytime, is dark. We had to take the lamp shade off of the lamp just to have sufficient lighting in the room.
The bathroom is roomy, which is good and the bed if comfortable. We ate at the buffet which was decent, but not worth the $19 it cost per person. The casino really isn't that big nor was it filled with any excitement. We spent very little time there since nothing appeared appealing.
Overall, it's a decent place to stay, but it could be better if they paid attention to simple things. Reasonably priced at $69 (Wednesday night) Wi-Fi Internet access (512 kbps up and down) is $9.95 a day.
