"The king rooms are very spacious. We've stayed there several times and have been happy with our choice. The casino allows for smoking, which can drift into the hotel area. We were there on a Monday night, so there were less people at the casino with less people smoking. They also have a nice restaurant attached to the property which is very convenient after driving long hours."
"Friendly Nichole called the day of our stay to give us a heads up on check-in (piece-o-cake.) If you love old architecture, this is for you.
This review for SOUTHERN BELLE ROOM.
Outer walls brick, inner walls padded fabric.
10-ft ceilings and 18” crown molding!
It was a hot day, and we expected our room to be warm with west exposure and 4 big single-pane windows. But they must have a tremendous ventilation system; it was very comfortable.
The room had good blackout curtains. They do stand apart and away from the wall a bit. so if you’re a privacy freak, just bring a few clothespins.
Someone did a great job cleaning the room. The clawfoot tub sports a few scuffs, but has a perfect angle for soaking, way better than modern tubs.
The mattress was pretty comfortable. The 4-poster frame is beautiful; it did squeak quite loudly when I turned over. Beautiful old furniture does that.
There’s a lounge upstairs with frig & microwave, chairs & magazines, coffee/tea fixings, extra towels, ironing board, and an entrance to the rooftop deck. Even flashlights to step out there after dark.
They’re upgrading the patio area—a great spot for morning coffee by the flowers. You may have a visitor cat.
Food isn’t served there, but if you bring microwave food, you can use tables and an ice machine in the dining room. There’s also a great room for guests to relax in.
One train went around bedtime—close and loud and fun! If any more went in the night, we didn’t hear them.

"We had visited this property at Christmas time in 2018 and had such a warm lovely experience. It was different this time. I was told new management came in 2020. There are still Christmas trees and dusty wrapped presents on the upper landing. I did enjoy the lemon water and the breakfast was ok. It was just a different, more impersonal experience this time."
"Its an amazing place to stay. Mixture of beautiful up to date rooms with all the old western charm in the public areas. Awesome restaurant main floor, speak easy basement bar. We will be back."
