The hotel is wonderful.We had several meals at different restaurants and the food was good and very reasonable.The only negative was no designated parking so you could check in. You had to park and come to check in and then go back for your luggage.Not very good planning as the parking lot was quite a distance away.

Pleasant stay. The room was very nice. Staff was friendly. The entire property seemed clean. We did not get to the casino though. We went to the Desert Diamond in Sahuarita to see a show and went to the casino there.
