The rooms are immaculately clean, quiet and comfortable. The added bonus is the casino below. I love the rooms overlook an exercising track were in the morning you can look out and see riders exercising their horses. I also like the fact they have a roving security officer at night and the parking lot is very well lit. I love staying here.
