Had some business in the U.P. and thought staying at a casino would provide a little entertainment as well as good service. This isn't Vegas, of course, but I still expected decent service. Front desk staff and players rewards staff was wonderful. Everyone else needs a few training courses in basic manners. Restaurant cashier was so aggressive and almost hostile that I thought about checking out right then.
Again, this isn't Vegas, but I know that advanced air filter systems exist and work well. This placed stinks of smoke. Stinks. My non-smoking hotel room smelled like an ashtray. The hallways stink. So unpleasant.
Went to Dream Catchers restaurant. Menu looked fine, simple fare such as sandwiches and fish/chips. Since I wanted the fried whitefish, the waitress (who was a sweetheart, her name is Mary, such a warm and friendly server) suggested I get the buffet because the fish was provided and then I could get some sides and dessert. Great suggestion. But ugh, the food was terrible. I'm guessing some prisons have better grub. Bland doesn't begin to describe it.
Gaming: it is mostly slot machines. Table games are limited. But I did enjoy blackjack - patrons were fun and the dealer was good. I would not go back though, even if I was staying at another hotel - I wouldn't even stop over for a few hands.
The room was spacious and reasonably priced - although again it smelled like an ashtray.

Rooms below average, gathering areas and small cafe not very clean.
Personal and staff seemed lost, not enough staff working cafe or buffet.
Oh yea after my brother's snowmobile (Polaris Dragon) got stolen right out front under lights at main entrance with video cameras rolling, that was enough for us - (Big Mack Pack Snowmobile Club) we pulled out Sunday and still no word on his sled.
Security did the best wtih what they had we had to call in city police and tribal police.
Also other sleds that were on trailers with keys left in them, the keys were stolen also these also were parked under large lighted area in front of check in.
Food was ok nothing to get excited about,
Alot of smokers everywhere.
Gambling was fun and we had some winners.

A larger casino, for the U.P. of Michigan. The hotel was fine, but had very hard, durable mattresses in the room I had. The Trail Deli is very popular at all hours, but more so after the restaurant closes for the night. You will could have a VERY long wait for food or snacks. Staff is friendly, room was clean. One can do reservations online. Dreamcatcher restaurant is popular, also has buffet, waitstaff is very nice.

I would never stay at this hotel if it wasn't connected to the casino. I would say the rooms are average at best. The bed is not comfy at all. Pillows are flat. :( The only plus is the location if you are going to the casino. That is the only reason anyone would stay here.
