8.0 Very good
Hotel was good, clean, staff friendly. The main issue overall was casino smoke - it's everywhere. Not sure why casinos still allow most of the area to be smoking - most folks don't smoke anymore and have to suffer.

9.4 Wonderful
Pros:loved the new hi tech rooms! casino always fun. room was clean and comfortable
Cons:1 shower , had only 1 door. very dangerous because water fall freely from unclosed opening. easy to slip if your not careful. 2 didn't like turn down service at all ! I'm used to leaving room in am and having it made by the time I come back. left at 9 am returned 8 pm and room had never been made. when I asked they said it's "turn down service" which means not cleaned or made until 5pm to 8pm. doesn't make sense to me. 3 café smelled like fish ! and raspberry muffin from starbucks had a hair in it !
