Honestly the best hotel. Staff was really nice, room was really clean, parking was easy. The location was perfect with a 5 minute walk to harrah’s snd other casinos. We stay in a lot of hotels and this was probably one of my favorites. They are pet friendly, we didn’t bring ours this time but to know they have dog blankets and towels in your room to dry off your dog was a big win in my book. I typically don’t stay in the same hotel twice, this one I definitely will be back.

Very nicely updated rooms, very clean. Beds very comfortable. 1/3 of the rooms are on the bottom floor and noise transfers very easily. Make sure you get a top floor room or single story room.

Thank you very much for the accommodation especially the room 28 which is our favorite room. We have really enjoyed the stay👍 but y if I can have only one suggestion that’ll be please get better shower head!! the one you have is none adjustable and the spray comes out like little needles… so if you can change the shower head in the future, that’ll be so so much appreciated….🙏 With love and respect Liam , Ava & Alex
