Asked multiple times to get room cleaned and it never happened in a 3 night 4 day stay, had to call for towels. Pitt bosses are rude, rules are so strict it makes gambling no fun.. staff and dealers were nice for the most part but for what they charge on a room in a casino and not to clean it once is a little insane.. The gym is also pathetic for a resort.
We stay here often and love it! Rooms are very clean

There was an open can of beer on the counter in my room( poor housekeeping).
Ruthie’s restaurant was poorly organized and seemed under staffed. The steak was less than enjoyable.

The room wasn’t like the pictures it was a little dated and I'm pretty sure I was down graded the room type and no one mentioned it to me. I rented a movie for $25. You were only allowed to watch it once. We couldn't even watch it because it kept leaving the movie and going back to regular cable. The front desk staff seemed confused about very simple questions. Don't expect an Uber or lyft to pick you up from there without paying $300 to $400. I guess its common and it was only $30 to get there.
The room was nice, the staff was friendly, but the shower had the water pressure of a 75 year on rich man, and the temperature was like warm like his 27 year old girlfriend...I felt like Jerry and Kramer in the low flow showerhead episode of Seinfeld...

Great location, great hotel great people great service
The room was good. There is no door to the toilet closet so it a little less private in that sence. But over all a great stay.

Room was very nice, though it had a very unusual bathroom. There was a curved “window” in the shower open to the bedroom. The curtain for the shower window wasn’t in the shower, it opened and closed in the bedroom.
Clean,safe, friendly staff and environment. It offers a variety of food choices from simple meals, good sit down meals, buffet and an elegant dinning experience- Ruthie’s (excellent steaks). I highly recommend Ruthie’s.
It offers a good sports bar to watch your favorite teams/sports. The golf course is great with friendly staff to accommodate and make your golf experience pleasant.
For those that enjoy gambling this resorts has it as well. Plenty of betting games to choice from. Great entertainment- enjoying the live music with drinks and friends.
My stay at this resort casino was a great staying experience. Great ambiance.
The casino was lively, the buffet was good and our room was nice! We definitely enjoyed our time there!

This trip was our 2nd time at the Casino. Ironically, we were put in the same room as our first trip overlooking the golf course. It was a beautiful view. Ironically the location was on the top floor, farthest from the elevator. I requested a room closer to the elevators my request did not happen. Similar to our first trip, we had issues with the bathroom. The first trip the toilet ran all night. This trip the shower head was leaking behind the head causing not a powerful shower. I find it odd that housekeeping staff doesn't report such issues to the maintenance staff.
The room was clean and the cooling system was fantastic. I was glad the refrigerator was on when we arrived!
My negative score is only because the bathroom was not working normally and it was the 2nd time the bathroom had issues.
Great staff, easy check in, comfortable bed and a fantastic dinner at the steakhouse with a great wine list. It was a quick, fun & very enjoyable night out with my spouse.
There was a problem at checking in. My card was charged but the clerk said he forgot to add the $50.00 deposit fee, so he recharged my credit card. I talked to a supervisor before checking out, but both charges are still on my card as pending today. Hopefully it will be resolved by tomorrow.
