Location was great! Steakhouse was amazing. Rooms were nice. Only thing that looked a llittle tired and rundown were the hallways on the room floors.

The location was excellent. The property was undergoing some construction. The complimentary breakfast was great every morning, it just is very busy with guests. Room cleaned every other day, did an amazing job cleaning.
