Overall positive
Checking in took longer than it should have. Not sure if it was a computer issue but it seemed as though the host was unsure of the process. Also the random $19.99 charge without explanation was confusing but not worth an argument after a long drive. Room was spacious, clean, well-organized, and quiet. The bathroom was modern, clean, and bright. The air conditioning worked well and was quiet, though it did start to feel damp in the morning. Having only two elevators for so many rooms and such a large building is clearly a bottleneck and becomes confusing when everyone needs a different floor. Checking out was also a slower process than it needed to be with very little communication. Overall a pleasant stay and well worth the price if you can find deals for vacant rooms online.

Great stay. Disability accommodation.
The hotel staff was very helpful with my disability needs. Room service brought a meal to me even though their delivery person had not shown up that night. The front desk sent a wheelchair up to my room very promptly when I asked.

We enjoyed ourselves at Vernon having never been there. The hotel was clean and beds comfortable with great TV/channels. I was surprised. A great lobby and casino right there. We actually went for the harness races.

Only thing we didn’t like was no continental breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, only Monday- Friday. Other options weren’t that great. Wait times to be seated and served at Mr P’s were long, and service slow. Other place, Triple 7’s inside casino, wasn’t good either.
