“Pala Casino Spa And Resort aims high with its Four Diamond aspirations, though the casino's pervasive smoke detracts from the experience. The property has modern rooms and a good restaurant, but struggles with service inconsistencies. I think it's best suited for event-driven visits where casino ambiance is secondary.”

My recent stay at Pala Hotel and Casino was quite mixed.

My stay at this hotel was filled with mixed experiences. On one hand, I loved the spacious accommodations, and the multiple dining options were impressive with delicious food. However, I was disappointed by the lack of spa facilities and the pool's limited hours, which didn't align with what I expected from a resort. Overall, it had its high points, but could definitely improve in the spa and pool accessibility.

While I enjoyed the pool area when it was open, it was disappointing that it was closed during the weekday when I wanted to use it. The spa facilities were closed, which was a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was rather disappointing, especially for a place that positions itself as a premium venue. The room was decent, but the service, especially at check-in and dining, left much to be desired. While the location is fine for accessing events, the staffing issues make the experience frustrating. I expected more given the price point.
