We enjoyed our stay here. Check in we just like any place. Someone at front desk 24-7. There's a secure underground parking garage which we didn't know about the first night. The surrounding area is fine. Didn't see anything bad going on. The train runs right by but it wasn't too distracting. There is a Mels diner right around the corner. The room was as pictured. Our 2bd was even bigger than I thought. Great having the equipped kitchen. Dining table was even big enough for 6 to eat at! Loved the fireplace! No fsn channel on the tv so we missed an MLB playoff game, but Joe at the front desk went out of his way to apologize and let us know we would be able to watch the next one! Beds were comfy. There's is a Murphy bed in the living room that pulls down with plenty of room and we left it out for extra "seating" while we were hanging out in the living room! The facilities were ok. Rec room was cool. 2 pool tables and air hockey as well as a big screen TV. Arcade room had 3 games. We didn't use the pool....too cold, it's October! I'd say the only negative was the hot tub. Its tucked in an uninviting outside corner and the concrete at the bottom looked dirty. We opted not to get in. All in all, the room/apartment was so much better than a hotel/ casino. We were meeting family who were staying at a different place and it was great having somewhere for us all to hang out that felt homey. I feel like we got a good deal as the price has gone up since we stayed here. I would recommend it if you do not want the noisy hustle and bustle of a casino.
