Palms City Resort
Clean room. Nice size, but there was quite a bit of noise at night time - people running around and screaming and shouting.

Mindil Beach Casino Resort
The room was basic and not very clean. Linen was good. View from Balcony over looking drive way was terrible, it was so disappointing. Main bed needs a bedside table bith sides. Ammenities and pool was fantastic.
