Harold, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We really liked staying here but be prepared to walk a long way to your room. Was quiet with a great bed and very clean. Plenty of food choices and of course the casino was fun but no wins. The pool areas looked great even though we didn’t get a chance to use them. Overall I would stay again.
