| - Lobby: Noisy, it contains a bunch of casinos and restaurants
Rooms: Super quiet and clean w/ a relatively modern vibe. We selected the "Newly Remodeled Deluxe Room with King Bed or Two Queen Beds" option, and opted for 2 Queen Beds (booking.com), for 2 nights (Wednesday & Thursday). Room had a flat screen tv, 2 beds, towels, and complimentary toiletries (body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and soap). The shower had a nice shower head- like rain drops but set to high pressure mode.
Prices: For both nights, we paid $119 total (taxes and resort fees included). Don't smoke in non-smoking rooms. The windows in the room do NOT open. There's also a clause in the document you sign upon check-in that says smoking will lead to an extra $200+ charge to your debit card. We didnt smoke in the room, didn't want to risk getting fined for it.
Also, I think they take another $100 deposit (upon check-in) that gets refunded within 30 days. I'm assuming that smoking would lead to that deposit not getting refunded + another $200 charge for violating terms and conditions
Check-In: Desk is located to the left of the grand entrance. Line was really short (2min wait time). The guy checking us in was very friendly, as were all the other employees at this hotel.
Room Service: Delicious! Got one of the pizzas, fries, and Chinese Chicken Salad. It came with a mini ketchup and Tabasco sauce bottles. Kept those as souvenirs
Dining: Fatburger, Starbucks, Feast Buffet, and more. The buffet had food that was actually really good. It wasn't drenched in oil and tasted fancy. Get a "Boarding Pass" before going to the buffet. It's located to the left of the buffet, is free to get, and provides a $1-2 discount on buffet meals.
Location: Suburban neighborhood, with lots of stores spaced out across giant parking lots. There's a Walmart Supercenter located 0.5 miles away from the hotel, so if you want to get drunk on a budget- stop by the Walmart. We bought several bottles of Barefoot Bubbly champagne (~$8.50/bottle) and Skyy vodka (~$11.50/bottle of fifth). One of the hotel's bars (closest to the entrance) serves $0.99 margaritas, so there's also that option. Can't really recommend that particular margarita though; if you're heading to the bar, get better drinks. The 99 cent margarita tasted like syrup (not in a good way), but 99 cents is 99 cents.
Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a hotel that offers:
-a great price
-quiet and nice looking rooms
-lots of dining options (fatburger, starbucks, a buffet, etc)
Also, the ceiling on the 1st floor is painted to look like sky. It looks nice. The entire 1st floor has a lot of excellent spots for taking pics at.
