Stayed one night, in town for personal business. Room was nice, bed a little hard. Air conditioning quiet, same for hallways. No noise problems from adjoining rooms either. Dining choices are all in casino, food was good, but there was a lot of noise from the action on casino floor. Would have preferred one restaurant located somewhere else on property. Overall perceptions were good, have been back to this property several times and would do so again.

Deli staff rude and can use customer relation training. Notified manager who said he would talk to employee. Room was clean. Take your own food and drinks. The snack bar/ deli is expensive and out of everything.

The decor and Santa Clara art was amazing. Check in was good. I realize and understand about Covid restrictions. But not having coffee available in the morning is not really acceptable. I was told I could get coffee in the casino but it wasn’t open even by 8 am. Also the walls are paper thin at least in my room. I could clearly hear everything that was said. For temperature controls I was not able to change the settings so it was uncomfortable. There was no room service even if there was a “Five Star@ restaurant in the casino. Staff could use some training on ways to phrase responses so it sounds like better customer service. I am a tribal member from Oklahoma.This is the first tribally owned hotel that I have not had a good experience. For these reasons, it’s unlikely I’ll stay again.

The room was clean and nice the only complaint I would say I had is I like for my room to be o the cooler side, I turned the cooling on but I couldn't get my room below 72 degrees so I had to sleep with the window open to help.
