This was my first time at Winstar but they treated us like honored guests. If there are any events going on, the rates on the weekend are $189 and up, so call and check before booking - not much for options nearby. The rate my mother was promised while booking the room was not the rate we had to pay, we ended up paying a lot more. Also, in the evenings, the casino can get rather smoky. They crank you the music in the pool area located right below my room starting at 9am, so I recommend even numbered rooms if you don't want to hear the thump! I play poker and the walk from the hotel to the poker room on the other side of the casino is about a mile and takes 10-15 minutes. When you arrive at the casino, the hotel is on the backside. There is a Spa on site, but I did not use it. My mother had room service delivered to her room, and the food was cold, so I am not sure I would recommend it. Most of the real food options are in the casino.
Check in and out was easy and was using valet. The king bed I had in my room was comfortable with a lot of pillows. Overall the room was nice, nicely appointed, and clean. Spent Friday and Saturday night at the Winstar, a stay my mother booked.
