Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve

I thought this place had a bunch of good reviews but I'm not really sure where they came from. Normally I just write good reviews when places outperform but this place is not somewhere I'd put my worst enemy. The room was fine, with a kitchen and living area but it was just one of the most dangerous neighborhoods I've seen, with guys smoking whatever right next door to the front door. The check-in/check-out process was poor, to say the least, and they tried to get me to buy a damage deposit waiver, which I've never heard of for a hotel. And then there were small things, like the toilet seat needs to be replaced. The floors weren't that clean, You open a closet and there's all kinds of junk in it. all in all it was just a very weird experience. I would not recommend.

The people at the front desk were very nice and helpful. We had an issue with a cancellation and they were very helpful in resolving the issue. The casino next door was a bonus. The hotel had a lovely fragrance.

The location was really fantastic - very convenient to restaurants and convention center, and it's right along the main strip for the college students.
