The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. I had mentioned I was unable to make the 12am check-in deadline for my first night's stay and upon my arrival at 5am, my room had already been secured, and I was handed the key. After a five hour drive, the special accommodations were very much appreciated. Hats off to the chef of Mr. G's too. That was the best breakfast burrito (veggie) I have ever had. I would definitely stay there again.

It was an older place but rooms had lots of updates. Our room had a couch table and chairs and a sink microwave fridge and coffee maker. Was very spacious ( 3 floor even #s no view Hot tub was not bad not large (6) could’ve been a little hotter The casino was a decent size with a good variety of slots Restaurants good variety for not a large place. We had the Friday buffet and it was worth it. Breakfast to go so we could eat in the room was great for the price

Nice, quiet location & fun little casino!

We were very happy with the accommodations there. The rooms were very quiet & spacious and the the beds were very comfortable. The food options were pretty good. They have a few different dining options that were all very affordable. Nice quiet location just 12 minutes away from Turning Stone and 20 minutes away from Utica. Did wish that they had a Continental breakfast available on the weekends tho. Overall, very happy with this hotel. Will stay there again!
