No buttons on the TVĪs a cosmic joke Im stuck watching Fox News while I wait for the service guy Overall very happy with look of the room. The gas-light victorian motif inside the roomĮven the shower has that Old England feel You can stick you nail between the pages but they are locked open and unmovable on the wall The walls have actual victorian-style novels ensconced on the walls.

This makes the room a bit dimmer than i prefer (i have slight night-blindness and require 100 watt bulbs and above to be comfortable) but thats a personal preference It has a quaint victorian feel to it complete with tube looking lights reminiscent of old vic gas lights.

Finally just stared at the floor) But they are nice elevators Tried turning around but the back mirrors reflecting the glass doors gave the same effect. Glass elevator doors made me dizzy (you watch as the walls inside the shaft zoom by. Its the same as Borgata but really annoying. Also be warned they take $150 per DAY incidentals so if you plan on a 10 day stay you will have to put $1500 into limbo. Hopped a cab from Springfield bus terminal and before I blinked I had arrived (the cabfare was $4)Ĭheck-in was quick but they didnt have any kings left so in a double bed room all by my lonesome. As some wheedling posters on here will point out I probably should have taken a helicopter With 2 stops in between it was only 10 minutes longer to get there and a heck of a lot cheaper than the cab ride from BostonĪrrived Springfield 8pm. Hopped out and walked a block to Greyhound. I wasnt 10 minutes away in Springfield Union Station but 2 hours away in Boston Union Stationĭirect trip would have been an hour shorter and $70 cheaper I should have checked distance from Amtrak to casino not casino to amtrak. All cab drivers should be aware of a brand new billion dollar resort gambling complex just a few minutes away I knew I was in trouble when i got a stare as if I was speaking Swahili. Hopped in cab and said take me to the 'new MGM casino' Booked my train for 1pm Penn Station to Union Station in BostonĪrrived at 5pm. Never been to Massachusetts so i googled distance from casino to Amtrak Union Station. Last minute her employer insisted she work so now im alone about to spend 4 hours on a train

Plus my gf was coming so great romance to look forward too. Offered free room and $160 fp so booked my stay.
