Top West University Hotel Reviews

Western Village Inn & Casino by Peppermill Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoy this property. This was my 2nd time staying there. It is very quiet! I recommend upgrading your stay to the waterfront views for nice sunset enjoyment. This property though older is nicely updated. My only gripe is the room was very hot this stay, but once I left the air unit on high blast in for 40 minutes it cooled down. So just be aware it may be warm in summer at first. After that minor issue, everything was peachy. I love the short walk to the water. The bar and restaurants on site are great! Close to stores. Room is quite large and clean. Best sort is the price is more than fair…a deal, really. Highly recommend it here!"
