My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were larger than average and offered a nice view of the track but lacked cleanliness. The service, though alone, was outstanding in ensuring a positive experience. The location was convenient for our activities but not as clean as expected. The dining experience was satisfactory with a variety of breakfast options, but not all aspects were as good. Overall, a stay with both ups and downs.

The hotel is a unique stop close to the casino door, perfect for a stay on your way home. The room was nice and ok, providing a comfortable space.
