Top West University Hotel Reviews

Nugget Casino Resort

4/10 Poor

"We liked the hotel itself. Our first time. Didn’t like no microwave in the room, lamp broken, eating table broken, ironing board broken, toilet set shifts every time you sit and the back moves toward the wall each sitting, and many large lights right outside our window. We believe they gave us the worst broken down room ever. Most likely will not stay there again."
