At 2:00 pm when I arrived, I was told the room was cleaned but had not been inspected. At noon I called and was told my room was ready.

My friend stayed at the Lodge, which has nice rooms ($350/night) but they certainly aren't worth the price. Let me tell you, it still has a long, long way to go. Rumors among family and friends hinted at a casino/hotel that had finally become a respected establishment. This was the first time I stayed overnight. I grew up 20 miles from Turning Stone and have been visiting for the last 10 years. The place is easy to get to and they don't mind if you bring your favorite wine to sip in the casino or while dining (no alcohol is served there). Fantastic salad bar too! This is not my first stay at the Stone, so I can say that everything remains fairly consistent. Not only is the food just as good but you can have a selection of a bit of seafood along with perhaps some Italian and some Asian. Over the years, I have tried both the Rodizio and the Pino Bianco and for my money, the Season's Harvest buffet is a much better deal. The bell desk and free valet parking are top notch. The banquet/meeting facility is very nice with fairly comfortable seating, clean white linens and decent wait staff. The one in our closet reeked of stale cigarette smoke. I would suggest that they do not mix the smoking room extra blankets with the non-smoking. The bed was comfortable and view outside on the nosebleed floors quite pleasant.

I found only one large, black hair on the sink when unpacking, probably an oversight. The room was clean and the bathroom nicely done in tile with a walk-in shower large enough for a party. I just attended a two day conference in this casino resort and can honestly say that it is one of the better venues for this type of affair.
