It was ok. The room was nice and spacious. However there was no coffee maker in the room which was a little annoying. There was only coffee served downstairs from a set hour and they often ran out of milk and cream. There was no free breakfast there's no room service and the only restaurant on site is the casino restaurant. The casino restaurant is ice cold because it's out and what looks like a tent style building and they must be renovating cuz it looks dumpy they have big sheets hanging in the front before you go in. The food was okay. But there's no delivery out here and you're at most 20-25 minutes from town and because it's little towns everything closes early. The casino was okay but they kept the lights on at full brightness the whole time which is really bizarre for a casino. The games were decent it's a semi okay casino but this is not a hotel and casino to go out of your way to come to. If you're stuck in this neck of the woods for a night it's totally fine but overall it feels very expensive for a very lackluster hotel. There's nothing to justify how expensive this place is especially being in the complete middle of nowhere. Absolutely not worth coming out to this Casino Hotel.

Room was clean and relatively new with courteous staff. The only issue with our stay was the noise in the room; the walls seen quite thin so toilets flushing and neighbour's 'activity' were not muffled very much.

Rooms were really nice. Very clean!! Free tea and coffee are the good kind. Only thing they could do better is the walkway to and from the casino and hotel. Was cold and icy. Would be nice to have a closed in one.
