It was an okay place to stay for a ski trip. However, its a shame there is no hot tub for the price of the room.

Thank you

So very grateful for these owners/operators. I could’ve had a terrible evening and they made sure I was safe!

8/10 Very good

Needs better pillows. But good property for a 2 star hotel
Marcos, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

They were just changing ownership so the place was a but of a mess. The staff was very nice and friendly, but I'm glad I got there early to check in because it took over an hour for them to find my reservation through expedia, and to send me a new link and have me pay via another link.
Jessica, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

You get what you pay for. It was cheap.
Jesse, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to casinos, food and shopping. Easy/fast check-in. Parking for small/normal sized vehicles. If you drive a large suv or truck you’ll be parking elsewhere. Some self entitled person found this out after parking a 4x4 camper van that blocked everyone else in the lot. The van was towed away….

8/10 Very good

Bluejay

Hotel was walking distance to the casinos. Tiny pool, NO HOT TUB. Room was small but cozy. Clean. Heater worked great. Tiny shower, no tub. No counter space in bathroom. Had everything else needed.. refrigerator, microwave, TV, iron & board. Desk with rolling chair. Check in was quick & easy, friendly. No one at front desk several times when needed. Have a beach voucher, was not told by hotel. Would have saved us $50! Overall, was a good stay. My son loved the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.
Autumn, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The person managing this property was incredibly unkind, unaccommodating and told me to get off the property. This was a last minute booking so I was unable to get a refund. And there was no way I was going to return later in the day. I felt unsafe! Over $200 lost. Take your money and spend it at one of the many other properties in the area where the staff are considerate, understanding, and actually hospitable. This person should not be in the hospitality business.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Threatened by management

Such an unfortunate experience. The owner double charged me (seemed to be on purpose) then locked me out of the office when I went to go ask if he could refund the one half. He ignored my calls for 3 weeks until I finally had to file a dispute on my credit card. He left me a voicemail today threatening me because I filed a dispute. His threats will be taken seriously and have already been sent to local police, Hotels.com, and American Express so he can’t be a merchant with them for much longer. His threatening voicemail will be posted on yelp and anywhere else that it can be posted to save others from this scam. Also the hotel was very dirty upon arrival.
