Alise!
Alise was so incredible at check in. She was wonderfully kind and helpful….I can’t say enough about her and we will come back here for many reasons…large clean rooms, great location, perfect midpoint stop for our travel from CA to ID……but Alise would be another reason for us to stay here again!

It is an older property. Casino was small with only video gambling. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were dated but they were big, clean and comfortable.

Some of the finest front desk staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Lisa did an amazing job. The place itself is on the older side, but really is immaculately cleaned. Would recommend a stay on that alone. The place can get a little noisy when the miners fire up their 2500’s and head in to work early in the AM, but that’s to be expected in a mining town.
