The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to get to from I70 and offering access to various nearby attractions such as the casino. However, the presence of large barn fans due to AC issues was a bit off-putting.

Dining

The dining experience was a mixed bag. While it used to be a favorite with good shows, the food quality has somewhat declined, resembling more of a basic buffet than an upscale dining option. It's not the best value for money, especially on peak nights like Fridays.

The facilities were decent overall, but I noticed some areas that needed maintenance, with machines blocked off for repairs. The absence of soap in the ice bucket was a small inconvenience.
