Beautiful building and nice location. We really loved our stay in this hotel.

Potawatomi Hotel & Casino
The people and facility are very nice. The food at the restaurants (including breakfast) is really not good--the baked goods are not fresh and the ingredients look pretty processed. Be aware that there is a strong fragrance added throughout the space including the upper levels.
