“While it's an older building, the refreshed rooms offer modern comfort, complete with strong water pressure in the showers; note that all rooms are located on the first floor and require carrying luggage up stairs. With family-friendly dining, a casino, and proximity to local attractions, this place strikes me as a practical choice.”
