I was disappointed with my stay. I was moved from one poorly maintained room to another. The first room had a loose toilet. The second room needed overall maintenance rusty toilet paper holders, loose tile, the toilet stopped flushing, torn carpeting. The casino area was so smoky that I couldn't even eat in there. The pool water looked dirty. The staff was friendly. This used to be a great property too bad that the property is not being maintained.

My husband I had a great experience. Friendly staff, great room, and very clean! Quick to respond: our fire alarm started to chirp. They were quick to fix it and stated that if we needed to switch rooms that we could. We opted to stay in the room we were in. Awesome staff!!

We had to go every time to front desk when trying to get into room because keys would not work.
The ladies at desk were rude, acting like we were bothering them from their sitting position. They stated battery needs to be replaced. After multiple times going to front desk and day later they replaced batteries. Still having the same problem. Same lousy uncaring attitude. When we checked out that Sunday morning, there were 3 ladies at front desk. We expressed our disappointment and unacceptable we had to go to front desk anytime to get into room, all three did not apologize and all seemed still uncaring attitude. We did like to room but front desk ladies need an attitude adjustment and education on customer service.

1. Room heater did not work, leaving the room at approx 55°. When i was duscussing it with the Attendant (Jazz'lyn) who had better pe ople skills, can-do/attitude than the \"manager\".

2. The manager who slinked out upon hearing my dissatisfaction, refused to call me or my Hotels.com representative. But rather quite mockingly stated that they would try to meet my idea of what 5*s should be, next time. E

3. There will be no next time. My grandfather in law helped build that area as the sheriff for many years, & ran an integrated club in an area that would be a homebase for 10,000+ Gertrude Ramon decendents.

Staff was nice and spacious room. The only thing that made me literally throw up, was while brushing my teeth, water splashed under the bowl rim and dirt flowed. It was so much I couldn’t stop regurgitating. Completely ruined my appetite for breakfast.

The staff were very nice and welcoming. The room was in order however upon preparing to take a shower I was greeted by a very large cockroach on the inside of the shower curtain. I did let the staff know and a room upgrade was offered however I had already done an upgrade. I do feel the dust around the air conditioning vents should also have been cleaned.

The original room that was assigned to me AC was out. Talked to the night staff regarding issue and she reset the system and told me to call if the issue wasn’t fixed. Called the front desk about an hour later and she didn’t offer any solutions over the phone. Told me she would contact her manager to see if we could be moved to a different room. I decided to go down to front desk to figure out a solution and she seem quite reluctant to do anything to help with issue because they were double booked for the next night. Since I went down to the front desk I asked if she could move me to a di

Service was impeccable! Our room was clean and ready at check-in. I reserved a room with the whirlpool tub, The whirlpool jets were not working but the huge tub was still amazing! There was plenty of parking space. The casino is a little crowded, but there was a concert beforehand where we got $10 in free credit to play, so that was to be expected. It is very smokey. We ate at The Spotted horse. Our waitress was amazing and so was the food. The sweet potato mash is like a dessert in itself.

Very small for a Casino Hotel, especially the dining area. Not enough room for guest to get breakfast and/or sit. Have only 1 waffle maker, which was the only highlight to the offered breakfast. Extremely limited choices. Line out the door waiting. Purchased breakfast items from grocery store to avoid the poor service. Gathered dirty towels, asked housekeeper for replacements. Couldn't get any because they're in the wash. 'Put the dirty ones outside your door and it will be taken away with replacements brought to you', I was told. Never happened. After being out for 9 hours or more, towels were still outside the room's door. Had to go to the front desk to resolve. Inconvenient and unfriendly experience. Thanks but no thanks. Will not make the mistake to stay at this hotel or recommend it in the future.

I have stayed in hotels all over the world, even third world countries. I have never stayed in a hotel in the United States that was as filthy, unkept, and understaffed as this one. There is black mold in the bathroom. When I hung up my washcloth over the bathtub faucet to dry, I came back to see a completely rusty washcloth. Rust is literally coming out of the pipes. The carpet is so filthy and damaged, I've just never seen anything like it. There's so understaffed that when I went to check out, no one was at the counter. When I inquired a woman that worked there told me that there's only one person behind the counter and that she does multiple jobs and I would just have to wait.I waited 15 minutes before I left. Terrible place to stay for the money spent!!!!
