Dave from front desk was amazing, extremely friendly and helpful. Room was great, clean, and comfortable bed. Staff we encountered were all so friendly and welcoming. Definitely will stay here again!!
This place was very comfortable. I love the neighboring beach, restaurants, and smoking room option. I only wish the rooms came equipped with microwaves.
Morning staff was excellent. The night staff not so much. One of them even hung up on me when I called down to ask a question. Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Cleaning staff was very friendly.
Overall, it was a great stay my check-in had a little hiccup but hotels.com was able to figure it out and get me checked in and after that, everything was great.

Welcomed with smiles at check in. Kudos to the staff
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the hotel. The king room was very spacious which we really appreciated. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the casino but did not utilize any of the other amenities to say about the food.
