The Bad
Although many reviews used for this analysis were positive, some negative points focused on noise and the hotel's need for upgrades.
Many guests complained that the hotel had "paper thin" walls resulting in disturbances by guests and staff talking in adjacent rooms and hallways. Music "thumping" from the on-site bar and noise from people loitering outside the bar and casino was also a problem for some.
Some guests felt the rooms were decent but nothing special because they had aged decor and linens. Guests also noted that the pool and fitness room seemed rather dated and could use new equipment.
