8/10 Good
"Overall, I think this hotel was pretty good! I usually have stayed at the casinos but wanted to change of scenery. I felt like this place definitely has a calm sense to it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room itself it was okay. The bed was neatly made. I did have some trouble finding some outlets, but I ended up finding it! The bathroom is a little bit small, the shower pressure was definitely a little too much for my liking. If you do stay on the bottom level, you can hear people walking on the top… Well, if they’re stomping. The TV worked well and you got local channels. So if you want to change a scenery and something with a little more calm, vibe would definitely recommend. Oh and the AC works well, but you do hear it, so if you’re a light sleeper, good luck!"
