This hotel is beautiful! As I've said in other reviews, I'm a very well traveled Air Force veteran…read moreand I've stayed at over 200 hotels across California, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Georgia.. and maybe 10 other states. For less than $100 a night, this hotel is literally a steal. I am an elite Marriott member and mainly stay there when I travel, so I was a little skeptic about this place, especially because it's on the cheaper side. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are as well. The rooms have huge TVs in them, a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. The bathroom shower is very nice but very tall and I couldn't quite find a balance between lukewarm and scalding hot. The windows are very big and there is a beautiful view, but the curtains don't close. The swimming pool looks nice and they have a fitness center. Literally the only "negative" thing I'd have to write is the website says pet friendly but they don't accept cats. I'd absolutely stay here again and I'd recommend this place

This casino you do not want to go to if you are colored because they discriminate on your skin…read morecolor. You will not be able to win jackpot $10,000 not even $2000 if you are colored. Many colored people have been going there, and their name has not been called For promotions or get any money that is $2000 and up if you can even get $2000. Most of the time I can only get $50 and if your color your tier will drop quickly as you got it. If you're not colored regardless, how many times you come there you'll always keep your tier And you'll always sit down and start running bonuses and jackpot. I do not recommend any colored people. Any color people go to this casino. This includes Hispanics Africans Micronesian and Black people.

First, the good, it is a relatively new facility and the rooms are clean. Nice showers. That's…read morewhere it ends. Can't believe in this day and age that people still install teacup size toilets. The toilet is comically small and hardly usable. The front desk people are not well educated in customer service. A stickler for rule following! We asked for two clean wash cloths after our room not being cleaned for two days per policy and were told we had to bring the two dirty ones down to the desk first. This is disgusting to say the least. Someone dumped a bunch of Bucky nuggets in the driveway and they weren't cleaned up for two days. Looked like stale orange chicken from a Chinese restaurant. No smoking hotel but we smelled weed on the second floor. We asked for a late checkout and were told to call the morning of our departure about it. Denied after they lied about being full-they weren't, we checked. I kind of knew there would be trouble when it was demanded I get the license plate number off my vehicle when I parked there. This is the first time anyone has made me do that for quite some time. Usually make and model of the car is enough. Really sad as the place has potential, but breakfast is subpar, they give you hardly any soap, and the overall feeling is that they would do anything to save a nickel. Someone needs to conduct a customer service training here!

They have a no smoking policy which we abided by we did not smoke in our room. We went outside and smoked in the smoking area. To our surprise 2 days later we were charged $250 their reason was because they found an EMPTY cigar package in our trashcan. We tried to dispute but they would not listen to our complaint. They had no evidence. We will not stay there again. I do not recommend it to you either. Beware!!

Roll in shower room was spacious, and the sink and mirror are outside the bathroom. There is a good sized fridge and a microwave and coffee pot. The heat works, and the tv is new.

Noise was nonexistent ... probably due in large part to us being the only ones there ... literally. Breakfast in the morning was so-so, but considering it was "complementary" I can't really complain. Located across the street from a sleepy gas station and a few blocks from a Family Dollar, it was easy to get drinks and snacks. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.
