Nice place pack a dinner

Our stay was very comfortable and we would stay again, however, we had a 1 nite stay prior to our cruise the following day. While there are at least 4 different hotel properties to choose from in the area. There is no where to go to eat. we had to drive out to the Foot ball stadium where there is a line of restaurants to choose from . so out of the way.

I spent one night here while my wife was at the casino 5 minutes away. The room was very clean, the staff very nice. I was surprised that they had Dove products in the shower, as well as the sink. The price also wasn’t bad I would stay here again!
