Q: Yep, still sucks. Had to stay here for work, not by choice. The beds are stiff and generally uncomfortable. The heating/cooling unit turns on often at any temperature. It is best to shut it off to sleep since it is extremely noisy. The television is older than me. The casino area reeks of smoke. They need to invest in some higher volume air cleaners. Just walking to the elevators will require you to burn your clothes to get the odor off. There are no decent food options. Lastly, they were hosting a cheerleading competition for young kids. Two things; what casino would host this type of event, what organization representing children would choose a casino? As a casino you annoy and disturb all your other visitors. Nothing says family like gambling, booze and smoke. Great parenting.

Q: We live in Phoenix, but needed a place to stay for a few days while our house was being repaired. This was perfect in terms of location, amenities (full kitchen, spacious room, pool, etc), BUT the bed was not comfortable. At our age (undisclosed), comfort of bed trumps everything else. We checked out after one night. No complaints about anything but the bed. If you're young and can sleep anywhere, this is a smokin' deal.

Q: The Thunderbird is another one of those situations where I wish I could assign 1/2 stars. So for now, I'm going with 2. I lived in the neighborhood for a number of years, so I've been quite a few drunken nights here. Somehow it seems easier to tolerate on a drunken night than on a "I'm just going to have a couple of drinks" night. My last visit was the weekend before Xmas to see some bluegrass. We got there early enough to get a seat in the balcony and it was freezing. I'm not talking just a little cold, I meant cold enough that I was still cold while wearing my down coat at the table. BRRRRR. I figured they knew they were going to draw a crowd and were anticipating the heat that would come with said crowd. Ok, whatever. They definitely drew a crowd - when the bands started, it was impossible to move around at all in any area of the bar. People lining both sets of steps, packing the balcony, packing the area in front of the stage, packing the downstairs bar. It really made me wonder if they ever think about fire codes. I realize that makes me sound like an old stick in the mud, but come on people, it was crowded. And miserable to get up and move. It's also fairly overpriced - I ordered a couple of Stoli vodka sodas, and was blown away when my tab showed up. Definitely not worth the price of the drinks. And finally, only in PA, you can still smoke in here. That alone makes me want to stay away. I realize it's legal, and they try to control it, but it's been a long time since I've been in a bar where you can smoke, and guess what? It's still miserable!

Q: Tried the happy hour menu. It is limited but tasty and changes frequently. Service was mediocre. We sat at table for 20 minutes waiting to order after getting menus. Then we got lukewarm water, had to request ice and lemon. The noise level is terribly loud. The restrooms are very odd. They are unisex, extremely dark and sink is outside restroom by the kitchen in view of diners. Awkward. Will not try this restaurant again.
