10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was amazing! From check in to Ruth Chris and of course the Casino, we truly enjoyed our stay. Two employees stood out to us, we were checked in by a gentleman named Mark, he was so helpful and pleasant that we immediately felt welcomed, and then our Room attendant Vina was so sweet and helpful. We will definitely be back The Kruppenbachers - Bunnell, Fl"
