But I was also a guest during the fire, Myself and my wife and 7 year old girl and 10 year old son were startled out of bed at 6 am. Although the machines were what I've seen in other casinos, lots of different demoniations.I Don't know what the fellow John is writing about. Casino was tight, but attractive and a good size- not too big, but not too small. On the downside, not very many places to eat in hotel, but these options were terrific. They have bingo during certain days, and because it is a Native American tribal casino, they had events, gatherings and a flea market type set up on the weekends. Having stayed in many casinos, I've never seen that before, and adds to the value of the room. Room came with free breakfast- not great, but free.

However, the basic rooms had well maintained, interesting and comfortable decor. Both were very nice, though the design of the renovated room was superior design- but the changes were primarily basic cosmetic (new rugs, bedding, floor in bathroom, flat screen TV) If the 'higher' end design is important to you, than you will like the new rooms. Had two different styles of room during our stay- the basic room and the recently renovated room. It irked me that they didn't bother to change the lunch and dinner offerings. One of the other servers looked at us and mouthed, 'I'm so sorry.' While the stay was enjoyable overall, I would be very careful in returning to the buffet. As we were leaving the restaurant she showed up with the refills and mocked us with, 'what, you're leaving now that I'm here?' It was very bizarre. When it became apparent that she wasn't going to be returning we followed another person's lead in her section and took our glasses to the machines and got our refills directly. Then she did some kind of sing-song thing and talked unintelligibly and walked off. When we asked for drink refills she snapped, 'All you have to do is ask!!!' We were like, huh? thought that's what we were doing - and doing so nicely, not demanding. Worse was that our server was Weird - capital Weird. NO crabs or interesting dishes that had been present the night before.

The price at dinner was $14.95 for the SAME food that had been out at lunch. The next day we did lunch and enjoyed it too. The buffet dinner Monday night was perfect! The crabs were so big we couldn't believe it. Pillow top mattress, stylish decor, very nice. We paid $79 ($85 with tax) for a very spacious 'deluxe' room - with windows that open! Nice clean fresh air. We booked for one night but liked it so much we stayed an additional night.
