“The beds here are quite something; I slept better than I have in a while, and the rooms were notably clean. It's a shame some of the upkeep, like the pool area and elevator, needs attention, and internet access proved difficult to sort out. Still, the easy access to the casino and the comfortable sleeping arrangements are definite pluses.”
