I don't understand all of the poor ratings here, I am a local and enjoy stay-cations quite a bit, I have stayed at talking stick at least 10 times and have NEVER had a single issue, the rooms have always been super clean, check in was easy, never had to wait for a drink even on a Friday night. the food is awesome! pit bosses have always been either very nice or at least cordial. I also come for happy hour frequently. I can only assume people are either out of control or entitled and demanding. If someone is approached with an attitude, they will give attitude, it is to be expected. you get what you put out there.
