Cheap and spacious
"Lots of space. Good price. One of the bed mattresses was really bad, fully indented in the middle and really needed replacing, however the main bed was comfy enough, and the pillows were nice. Carpet was worn through but didn’t bother us at all. Great location close to the casino."
