Didn't stay in the hotel. I played in the casino. I've played here twice and both times it was a waste of time and money. Feeding machines for zero return. Junk

Older hotel, but clean. We didn't eat here and only played a couple slots before bed. Gambling wasn't our primary reason for visiting the area. Interestingly though there were a couple slot machines that still took and dispensed quarters. The nostalgia was nice. They do allow a pet to stay for an additional fee.

SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- π Great
A rustic locals casino with personality.
Common spaces were very clean & gave off a heavy desert-plains vibe. A bit eclectic, but also charming & rich with history.
Customer service was great over the phone & hospitality inside was awesome.
Con: Elevators slow as molasses
ROOM (Classic Studio, 1 King Bed) -- π bad
https://youtu.be/jeU-u6ptwNg
A dusty, worn, & neglected accommodation.
First impression wasn't a win: overwhelmed by a pungent odor on entry... reminiscent of an old musk π€’? Double bummer due to the sealed windows & nonexistent ventilation.
Chairs felt like deflated tires, well-overdue for a reupholstering or replacement.
Outlet distribution was also unproductive (consider bringing an extension cord).
BED -- π poor
Support was all but depleted from this old spring mattress.
Sheets were soft & pillows had fine loft, but the sleep just wasn't...
BATH -- π poor
Some real effort went into this design, evidenced by the nice tile work & electric mirror fixture.
Cleaning standards & basic maintenance are just lacking.
The exhaust was caked in dust & the shower turnover was noticeably low-effort.
TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- π ok
A good setup: wall-mounted 55" Samsung HD smart TV. The extra tight mount & TV solution eliminates any additional connectivity/functionality. There was a tremendous amount of dust buildup around as well.
The casino is predominately slots & where all the fun awaits. These machines are some of the only machines that still accept + dispense real coins. Pretty cool.
A small (motel-size) outdoor pool is also open.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- π poor
Poorly architected with multiple over-lapping networks.
I struggled frequently with connecting to these access points.

FOOD & DRINK -- π ok
DoorDash friendly.
Marketing of the prime rib was strong & enticing. Taste on the other hand, was not...: seasoning had potential but the cook was uneven & temperatures were inaccurate. It also looked nothing like the flyer. Not worth the
13.99 (dine-in) or $24 (takeout) sticker.
Snack & drink machines have good inventory & were fully stocked on every floor.

NOISE -- π bad
No real privacy with these acoustics.
LOCATION -- In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trailers.
Not much of a "destination" by design.
RECOMMENDATION & RATING
Final price: $93.29/night
Was it worth it: no
Best part: price
More roomy than a big brand casino hotel & strong on hospitality.
Cleaning standards & maintenance have much room for improvement.
Underwhelming.

First time in many years back to visit a decent breakfast. I met a friend there it's a little out of my way so it's not likely I will visit often.

Casino reminds me of an old school casino.
Almost nostalgic looking.

It's an okay hotel. Not much service with limited staff. Not even water in the room.
