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.
This was our second time visiting this area, excellent. Very friendly and vey clean . We loved staying there. We will be booking there again . And would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay !!!!
As expected great welcome we were quite early but sorted out so we could check straight in lovely room and a great meal at Restaurant all excellent value for money would recommend and definitely stay 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
