Our 5 day 4 night stay had a split rate of $62.96 for Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday night and $71.95 for Friday and Saturday night.

The room was clean, and cleaned each day. As you walk in there is a bathroom with a single sink and long countertop. A single toilet is in the same room along with a handicap but not wheelchair accesable shower. The shower is in a standard enclosure so that makes for wide shelves and sitting area along with easy to reach hand rails. But it also makes for small footing inside the shower. This is a fine shower for travellers but not an ideal shower to bang your wife. For that we still recommend the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ

Room controls are on a floor / outside unit which kept the humidity down on a few steamy days but was lacking the finer controls of a thermostat system.

Beds where standard hotel fair with polyester pillows, 2 per bed.

Our room had 2 beds and a fold out sofa with a table making a living room / seating area. Also in this area is a small table 2′ x 2′ with 2 chairs, a telephone, and the jack for Internet access. There are no RJ-45 cables in the room. You have to provide your own, or buy them from the front desk for $5.00 each. This is something they do not tell you at check in.

The pool is off the main lobby and posted hours till 9 but was open till 10 each night we stayed.

Breakfast is complimentary and a nice assortment including a toaster with a magical device one member of our party never saw before - the toaster lever to pop food items out of the toaster slot. Apparently this person uses a knife in their home and cuts the toasted item into crumbs and then licks it out of the tray at the bottom. A hot tray with egg and meat products to make a mcwhich was included. On the 2nd day they went through to fast ad the girl put new ones out ice cold without a sign or any preheating. A chef’n dish is a warmer not a cooker. She needs a bit of training on food handling.

Dinner was the usual hotel fair of McDonalds, Papa John’s delivery and then Chinese delivery followed by a second night of eating the left overs. The front desk has a list of names and numbers for places those two that deliver, and a few flyers on a table for other options.
