Margie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall, the property was great. However, the rooms are smaller than i am accustomed to and the bathrooms are super small. The hotel restaurants were lacking in family friendly options. The pool area was great and the breakfast options were plenty. We would stay here again.
Molly, 1-night trip

The parking was a little crowded, it's next to the casino and shares the lot.

Fairly nice stay, though a bit difficult to find close parking. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The pool was a nice size and it was open until midnight! We took advantage of that perk. The room was comfortable and had a great view of the river. The only disadvantage of the view was the distance from the elevator. Breakfast for was good with plenty of options.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The pictures on website looked like it was new. It’s an older hotel. Just not what we expected when we drove up.
Jodi, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Requested adjoining rooms as we were traveling with our daughter and were put on different floors which was not convenient.
