If you smoke, this is a place for you!
The minute you walk into the hotel/casino, it wreaks of smoke. Massive turnoff. We ended up gambling at Pechenga Casino because we couldn't stand the smoke smell. Besides that, everything was good. Room was super clean and comfortable. The main restaurant was very good. Parking was easy and free. The band playing in the casino was not bad, as background music. If the smoke smell is better dealt with, it's a solid 4 to 4 1/2 hotel.
