The bath tub was peeling on the inside and the television could have been bigger instead of a 32 inch it should have been a 42 inch.

Everything was good accept the shower. It was a faucet we never saw before so took some time to figure it out. Then we saw the instructions on the mirror.

We stayed in this hotel during the Thanksgiving holiday so there were no restaurants nearby open at night. However, on the other side of the street, there is the Casino resort. It is very close and easy to walk there. The staff at the front desk were very nice and friendly. Even though the hotel feels a little bit old compared with the others that we lived in during the entire trip, I still think it is good enough. The only comment is the television is not a smart TV. Our kid didn't like the channels with advertisements at all. If there is a TV that could connect with Netflix, that would be ideal.

Beware of funky smells
We have stayed before. Spent 2 nights. Overall good experience. One of our rooms had a funky smell. Ended up finding a half eaten corn dog under the bed.
