The room was large and clean. I stayed in a king room one night and a double queen the next. Both rooms had terribly uncomfortable beds. The king sunk in at the head of the bed and the queen sunk in on the side nearest the nightstand. I don’t know if they are cheap mattresses or what, but I know they have never been flipped or rotated. You could feel exactly where people sit and watch tv

Great for the price
Great room for the price, only two issues, number one the entrance for the hotel is not clearly marked I spent 5 minutes circulating the parking lot to find out you use the casino entrance. Number two the shower was only lukewarm.

Great hotel with nice amenities
The stay was very nice. We reserved a King non smoking room, but we were given an accessible room instead. The room was still very nice, but we were told that because we used a 3rd party to book the room, they always give accessible rooms instead. Fortunately the shower situation was acceptable to us, we decided to keep the room. I just found it unusual that since we used a “3rd party” we were not given the room we requested and expected. Also there was not a restaurant in the resort that served breakfast other than a “grab and go”type place.
