Not a great property with hardly any facility, no clear signage to find hotel, casual attitude by Reception staff, nothing in the hotel other than just rooms. Road to the parking has multiple holes and entrance to the hotel from back had really bad smell, things lying everywhere and resembled like third world country. when told about this to the receptionist, she made a casual comment that we all are aware of this, without even bothering if this will ever be fixed. The lift in the hotel makes funny noises when you use it and you pray to God that it is does not stop midway. The hotel is dead place after 9 pm with reception gone and you feel so scared to enter the building. It is on a busy city road with noises coming all night. The rooms and bathroom were in good condition, bed was nice and there was good space, that makes stay comfortable.

The property was clean enough, but looked like it needs a refresh. There is limited on site parking which was difficult to get in and out of. But the strangest thing was they lock the doors to the parking at 10 pm and do not open them until 7 am.

The rooms were very spacious as was the bathroom. Parking was restricted by which you had to have your vehicle in by a specific time and could not leave before a specific time. Not really convenient for the late arrivals and early starters. The lift was very musty smelling and needs serious attention. For that rate we paid kinda of expected more.

Big room very spacious comfortable beds but that’s it. Spa didn’t work, toilet didn’t flush properly, shampoo face wash hand wash all are same liquid. Tv didn’t work properly, couldn’t sleep at all due to the noice from night clubs surrounding . The room smells like an old trunk which has not opened for many years. I am so sorry to say all these but we will never book this again

Lots of space. Good price. One of the bed mattresses was really bad, fully indented in the middle and really needed replacing, however the main bed was comfy enough, and the pillows were nice. Carpet was worn through but didn’t bother us at all. Great location close to the casino.

Great location, huge rooms, restaurant on site. Staff could work on their communication skills, and the website info bot needs to be more accurate with the info it provides, just saying there is parking available on a first come first served basis but neglecting to mention the $20 a night charge is very misleading! The main and BIG complaint is noise, both from the street and also from neighbouring rooms, there is NO soundproofing! You get to hear the TV from the room next door all night and the yahooing from the street outside, don't plan on sleeping!
