We decided to stay at Paragon for my husband's golf tournament. Upon arrival, we discovered that our 2 night reservations which we had confirmation for was not in their system! The hotel smelled like a walking ashtray which makes a non smoker gasp for air! I'm so happy we didn't bring our kids here. The manager put us in a non smoking VIP atrium room which still smelled like smoke. Oh, is that a party going on right outside of our room??? "Yes ma'am it is and the DJ will be blasting the music until 1:30am." This is what the front desk tells us!! We politely canceled the room and went across the street to the Hampton Inn which was a great experience. I will never attempt to stay at Paragon Resort again.

Very enjoyable golf course, challenging holes, very friendly staff. Great staff at spa, however, prices seemed high compared to other spas offering similar treatments. Hotel room was ok. Clean but could hear the lobby band playing. We had an atrium room that faced the parking lot, spacious, king bed. Alligators are a fun addition to the lobby area. Hotel is attached to casino, simply walk up stairs from the lobby and you're on the floor. Due to this access, smoking seems to be allowed everywhere from the front desk to the halls that weave between the stores and restaurants. Yes, the state has smoking restrictions except for casinos, which I guess includes all areas of the hotel (apart from non-smoking rooms/floor). We ate at the steakhouse, enjoyed the food, service was good, price was about what we expected. If you plan to eat on a concert night, get reservations early or don't expect to get a seat until 8:30 or so. We also ate at Roxy's Diner, which advertises breakfast, lunch, and dinner 24/7. Don't plan on eating breakfast 24/7, or lunch 24/7, or even dinner 24/7. Just means it is open 24/7 and you get to eat what is served on the menu at that time of day/night. Parking is free, Internet $5.
