My stay at this resort was a mix of highs and lows. The atrium rooms were well-appointed and offered a view of the alligators, which was a delightful surprise. However, there were several issues with housekeeping and the noise from karaoke made for some restless evenings. While I enjoyed the overall atmosphere, the inconsistencies in service and dining options were disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the nice indoor pool, the overall condition of the rooms left a lot to be desired. There were cleanliness issues that really impacted my stay, and I found it hard to relax. The dining options were decent, but they could have been more varied. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it without some serious renovations.

My experience at Paragon Casino was a bit of a mixed bag. While the staff members were genuinely friendly and helpful, the condition of the rooms and overall cleanliness left much to be desired. The unique alligator exhibit was a fun surprise, but the dining options could use improvement as they felt basic compared to what I expected. Unfortunately, the issues with the facilities really overshadowed my stay.

Our stay at the casino hotel turned out to be quite the adventure, but not in a good way. While the hotel offered an exciting atmosphere, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues and a frustrating management approach. Despite these setbacks, the presence of an alligator exhibit added a unique touch, and there were enjoyable gaming options available. However, there were significant drawbacks, especially with the room conditions and service responsiveness.

Rooms

We were disappointed with the condition of our initial room, which felt dingy and outdated. The sheets didn't fit the beds, and it was generally unkempt. After some hassle, we were moved to a renovated room, but at an increased price.
Service

While some staff members were friendly, the overall service response to our concerns left much to be desired. It took a lot of effort to get things addressed, and I felt it shouldn't have been that difficult.

The hotel's location is a bit odd with the casino right in the middle, giving it a unique, if overwhelming, atmosphere. The alligator exhibit was a quirky addition, adding some charm to the setting.

Dining options were decent with a variety to choose from, though some aspects felt repetitive over our visit. Overall, nothing extremely memorable but satisfactory.
Facilities

The facilities felt dated and not well-maintained, especially the elevators which were malfunctioning. The indoor pool area was nice but could use better upkeep to enhance the experience.

My recent stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. We were thrilled about the activities available, especially the casino and spa, which had some great aspects. However, our room was disappointing with cleanliness issues and noise disturbances that affected our comfort. While the facilities looked promising, they didn't quite deliver on their potential, and overall, I couldn't justify the price we paid for what we received.
