"Unfortunately I am not a gambler but was in town for a nearby golf event and the Hotel and amenities were simply wonderful. Stayed in a newly renovated tower room, which was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable… All the hotel staff encountered were very helpful and professional in their approach. Would definitely recommend to my gambling friends and others…"
