Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a superb location right within the casino area, offering easy access to entertainment without stepping outside. The rooms are spacious and modern but lacked a bit of charm. The service was efficient and all facilities including the walkway to the casino were convenient. Dining options were decent but with limited choices. The pool area was a relaxing spot though not extravagant. The price was reasonable, but additional fees for certain services were a drawback.
I found the hotel to be excellently located, with easy access to the casino through the enclosed walkway and the French Quarter restaurant. The rooms were modern and spacious, and the staff provided exceptional service. Nevertheless, the dining experience lacked variety, and the price seemed a bit high compared to the value offered.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the service seemed lacking with many employees appearing unhappy. The location was convenient for accessing the casino and racetrack without needing to go outside. The dining options were adequate but could be improved. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to the French Quarter and the casino. Dining was a delight with options like cooked to order eggs and a chef available. The facilities were top-notch, and I had a great time at the pool. The value for money was reasonable, but I was slightly disappointed by the seemingly unhappy employees.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the service left a lot to be desired. The location was convenient, but the dining options were limited. Overall, it was an okay stay but could use some improvements.
