Great little hideaway and location. Feels safe despite the casino which stays open late. Thought it a bit pricy for the location.

Good hotel
The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. It is very secure as you require a entry code to enter the area where the rooms are. The food in the restaurant was excellent. There is also a sports bar and casino in the complex. There is a shopping center nearby but only a few other places to dine in the area.
