| Best feature is the hotel is within walking distance of a movie theater, specialty shops, restaurants, a grocery store, and major casinos. It is an older hotel so the inside of the room was somewhat dated but the outside landscaping is very nice. Overall for a family it works very well, we had a two-bedroom suite, which was huge making the stay for 2 adults and 2 teenagers very comfortable. Having a kitchen also was very convenient. They also provide a continental breakfast which had a lot of variety (something for everyone).

| As you drive up the grounds look clean and inviting. The lobby is clean, fresh and upscale. The room was old and the furniture was worn out. The room wasn't appealing. The master bedroom had an uncomfortable bed, the kids bedroom had no tv. We didn't get any pay channels or games. There wasn't any air-conditioning. I felt very ripped off. The front desk clerks weren't knowledgeable about the local restaurants. We stayed at the hotel next door last year and it was beautiful much more worth the money.

| Great for a family. However, there was no air conditioning and the room was warm. To turn on the whole house fan, maintenance crew had to come in and plug it in at the compressor. The desk staff knew very little about the rooms and couldn't give us any help. There were no instructions in the room as to where breakfast was, ice machines, or any rules of the house.

| The hotel was in the great location for all the entertainment and shopping. One thing was the bathtub faucet leeked all the time we were there. We told the maintenance person, but it didn't seem to be a priority. The stove wasn't working very well only one burner. So the place needs some upgrades. But it was big and roomy for the 5 of us.

| This hotel has very good location for dinning,shopping and close to a private beach.The reason I give it 4 points is because of the old and small elevator.Besides that, everything is fine.We reserved a two bedroom suite,which was very comfortable.Parking is easy,maybe it was low season after holiday?I would like to recommend it to my friends.

| If you prefer the 5 star comforts then this type of hotel is not for you. However, if you are looking for a nice, comfortable apartment style accomodations with multiple bedrooms, family room, kitchen, swimming pool for the kids and nearby to (walking distance) to casino's, movie theatre, ski resort, lake, starbucks, then this will be an ideal place for a family type of accomodations.

| Walking distance from gambling, shopping, gondola, restaurants, grocery store. No need to use the rental car when you stay here. Room condition was great except the shower was a bit outdated and small for anyone over 5-feet tall. The free breakfast was all I needed. Nothing gourmet but many choices.

| Great setting, quiet and extremely convenient location to everything we needed. My wife and I thought the price was right for the attributes this hotel provided. This hotel has seen some upgrades and could use some more but for it's age we thought it was very clean and comfortable. We plan on staying here again.
