We went ahead and parked in the new parking garage (for free) and took a short walk over to the hotel entrance. They were completely booked! Upon arrival, we thought we would check to see if valet parking was free for hotel guests - unfortunately it's $5 like everyone else. We got the very last non-smoking room, which was a standard double queen, but that didn't bother us - honestly we were lucky to get a room at all since we booked last minute. My husband and I were in desperate need of a 'mini-vacation', so decided to book a short stay at the Cherokee Casino and Resort. If we get the chance, we would like to go back there. My husband won $56 on a quarter slot machine in a couple of minutes, so our meal was paid for! The bed was very comfy, and we enjoyed our one night stay. It was a little smoky for me (but that is all casinos, I feel sure.), much like the ones in Vegas. The casino was much larger than I had expected, and we only spent about 30 minutes gambling. The food was pretty decent, and it was late, so we didn't want to drive all over looking for somewhere else to eat. We ate at the Wild Potato Buffet, and I thought it was a little pricey at $14.58 per person. But since I am 8 mos pregnant, I couldn't use it anyway! The shower was very clean, and it had jets on the wall. But we didn't stay for the view - it is Oklahoma - there is not a great view anywhere along the interstate! The only thing bad about the room was the jacuzzi tub - it was not as clean as I would have wanted in my own house.

The view out the window was not great, though, because (as signs along all the hallways explained) the hotel is undergoing additions to accommodate the growth they are experiencing. The room was very beautiful, and much larger than I expected. We also took advantage of the $5 valet parking, since the parking garage looked very full, as the place was VERY busy. We decided to go with it, since it was late.

When we finally got there, we got one of the last rooms available - all they had left were suites. My husband and I were traveling to pick our children up from their grandparents in Missouri, and we decided to stay here because our wedding anniversary was the next day.
