Our check in was so easy, 11/8/24 and our request for exra towels and pillows was already in the room. Our shuttle driver (George)? for the nite was the best we ever had. He was so pleasant and even offered to take us to the gas station to get snacks and beverages if needed. We have been coming here for years for annual trip, and this is the first time that any driver has ever offered to do this. Its the little things that makes it a great experience.

Enjoyed Casino...not so much lodging
Very basic. Was disappointed we didn't get any free play credit or meal credit at the Casino. Should of drove on the Turtle Creek. Not a good value.

The bedding, comforter in particular did not smell fresh. Also, for some reason, the smoke alarm went off when each of us tried to shower.

Great property to stay at. The only thing is the shower drain did not drain properly and while taking a shower the water was up to my ankles as I was washing my hair and body. Also a small pub table would have been nice to sit at and eat in the room.

Needs TLC, deep cleaning, and pest control!
We stayed one night at this location for our five day trip. First concern was the hotel hallway; it is very beat up and needs deep cleaning. The carpet was coming and in terrible shape. Our room furniture was also needy some TLC, curtains had spots & around the shower needed deep cleaning. The worse part was when we woke up at 7am and my husband had red bumps all over him. They appeared to be bug bites. I was wearing long sleeve top and long bottoms and had nothing. We quickly packed and left. He told the front desk, the lady working seemed uninterested. He did suggest that someone look at the room prior to having anyone stay in the room.
