"We were on an overnight getaway close to the casino, where we were eating dinner. The service getting in was awesome. We were checked in early and used the poolmand hot tub, which were fantastic!! Pool was warm and hot tub was big and just perfect. The beds were comfy and the room a little small but not awful (there were 4 of us) lol. Refrigerator and air conditioner both worked great and provided extra towels when we asked for them. The breakfast was very good with many options...
