  Went there to celebrate a birthday. It was much better than I expected and fairly enjoyable for the casino itself. The sports bar was great outside the casino, but the bars inside the casino were lacking. Shots were not available for the casino area, so you have to leave the bar if you're looking for that. Otherwise it was enjoyable! I do recommend it if you're going with friends.

  Pretty okay.
  
  As a birthday treat my husband and I stayed in the King Whirlpool room. It was clean, very nice linens, bottled water, a keurig and bathrobes. Check in and out was very smooth and all of the staff was courteous and helpful. We ate in the little cafe downstairs and bought a cheesecake which we shared in our room.
  
  Why am I only giving it three stars? Because for a room that costs over $300, it should be nicer. Everywhere, you can smell smoke. It's definitely less apparent in the non smoking rooms, but is detectable. The bed was creaky and a bit stiff- felt either old or cheap. The dust ruffle was very wrinkled. The bathroom had a nearly empty roll of toilet paper, and no replacement. The robes were thin, and kind of worn down.
  
  I get that these seem like small issues, but when you're buying the top room, I expect not to see the cracks in the facade so easily.
  
  It's a fun stay, but it's still a casino, and is still kind of a cheap experience.
