Me and my wife had a one night stay here.

Check in was quick and the front desk personell were very polite. I did not find the Lobby to be very "smoky". Our room was on the 6th floor room 620 and was very nice. It was very clean and had just about everything. Nice flat screen, nice lighting throughout and contemporary decor.

The Bathroom had a large walk in shower which was very nice, the only problem was that the steam was horrible without any vent and they only left us 2 washrags.......4 should be the minimum, and they also didn't have a shower cap for the wife.

Onto the Train, if you are a light sleeper you may want to get a room on the beach side as opposed to the pool side. The Train along with its whistle passes thoughout the night and woke me up 5 times.

Upon our check in I found the woman very unfriendly and not a resort oriented employee. The room was well designed however the hot tub was very small however we did enjoy the view, next time will request a balcony. The down fall is we received little to no sleep due to our room being next to the elevators we heard the thump of the elevator going up and down all night. The food was below satifactory for the den twenty four hour resturant and liked the buffet less. The casino is very smoky and small with older machines, the payouts are fair as expected. Overall if when we are ready for the next night out we are not likely to return and will choose a different resortexperience.

My husband & I stayed a week and were very pleased with our accommodations. We stayed in the Tower overlooking the Gulf. The room was spotless, beds very comfortable. I think they do an excellent job in making sure your stay is pleasant. Loved the TV in the bathroom. The bathroom was beautiful. Very clean. The casino gave us three nights on them, so we only paid for four. Was very inexpensive for us. Anywhere else would have cost us at least $100.00 a night. Would definitely return. Loved it.

After spending most of 2011 living in hotels I have become picky. I am sure there are larger words, but over time one begins to notice the little things, both bad and good.

I did not read any reviews, but just stopped while driving. The critical remarks in other reviews as to the smoke smell are somewhat correct in the lobby and casino area, but I could not smell smoke at all in the room.

The check-in process was quick and the price fair. I have to applaud this hotel for not try to play the nickel and dime game with lots of extra charges for WIFI, parking and “resort fee”. I realize that some MBA has calculated how much these charges can generate- but mostly they generate quiet irritation from most travelers.

It seems there are two different types of bathrooms with either a shower or “deep tub”. I elected the deep tub… and well, it is a tub and deeper, but really really short. I don’t think an adult could lay prone in the tub. I would also think that older customers might have difficulty exiting the tub as there was no handhold or rails. One last word on the bathroom- the towels were not the little postage stamps provided by some hotels, but good size. The bathroom gets thumbs up.

The room was very clean and the bed great. Maybe it was the night or luck but there was not a single noise all night. Late checkout was not a problem with the front desk.

I did visit the casino and like all casinos – the smoke hung in the air and a number of the slot players appeared catatonic. Did you expect something else?
