"Room was very clean and staff was friendly and helpful. No shuttle service to the casino weekdays. The complimentary breakfast was OK ... not a lot of choices. While I didn't expect real table ware, the low quality paper plates and utensils were a negative. Average quality paper plates and utensils would have been appreciated."
