Beautiful grounds-exceptionally clean. Hotel is super nice-lots of good food choices and good food. Really up to date amenities.
Really enjoyed our stay! will definitely stay again.
It was a good stay for a couple's quick getaway for one night. Clean rooms with good front desk service. It was a good experience for our first time staying there and we plan to be back for future stays.
Facilities (casino, hotel and race track) were all nicer than we anticipated. Check in staff and cleaning crew (in hallway) were all friendly. Appreciate that we were able to check in at 2 instead of 4.
Great location. It was nice to be connected to the casino and horse track. Great location for restaurants and things to do. The pool was small, but it was never crowded. Hotel staff were very friendly and the hotel and rooms were very clean. A bit more expensive than other hotels in the area, but I'd say it was worth it. Nice restaurant choices inside the hotel/casino as well.
