Great trip for quick outing from KC. Will return.

Facilities (casino, hotel and race track) were all nicer than we anticipated. Check in staff and cleaning crew (in hallway) were all friendly. Appreciate that we were able to check in at 2 instead of 4.

I appreciate that the gentlemen at the front desk told me he would give me a late checkout since I didn’t check in until 1 am and they weren’t fully booked for the next night. Appreciate that offer without asking for it.
