Everything was smooth as silk. I checked in online ahead of time and it was very easy to pick up my key cards. Workers were very friendly and the breakfast was very good. It was a great stop for a quick one night stay and I will definitely plan on using this hotel again next time Hopefully on my next visit, I will have time to visit the casino across the road.
