Spacious King Jr. Suite

We stayed in a King Jr. Suite, and I was impressed by the spaciousness. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was nicely quiet, allowing us to enjoy a restful night after a day at the casino.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautiful, and the play money for the casino added a fun touch. The location was ideal with a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options nearby, making it perfect for us. The dining experience was great with excellent service, but the late start for some meals was a downside.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the play money for the casino was a fun touch. The bed and pillows were so comfortable, and the big walk-in shower was a treat. However, booking through a third party was a bit of a hassle. Overall, a clean and fresh room with great amenities.
