Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of charm and convenience, making it a pleasant stay. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but the service can be a bit slow at times. The central location is ideal for exploring the area, although the dining options are limited. The facilities are modern and inviting, with good value for the price paid.
I was thrilled with the convenient location of the hotel, a stone's throw from other card rooms in the area for years. The rooms were cozy, and the service was prompt and attentive. Overall, a solid choice for a stay in the Midwest.
I had a great time at the hotel, especially enjoying the prime location near other card rooms in the area for years. The service was quick and efficient, but the dining experience was a bit lacking. Overall, I found the hotel to be worth the money.
