It gave us an excuse to stay for hours, and I could play Holdem while my wife and her friends played slots or one of the table games. One of the things that set Spirit Mountain apart was the card-room. It's all about the 'Benjamins'! I use to frequent Spirit Mountain about 2-3 times each month, and as many of the comments have noted, it's changed. I would have minded a reminder but he sounded like he was about to give me a ticket for almost speeding in a school zone.
I had no problem with the Covid rules as my husband and I are both vaccinated but appreciate the efforts, however, I had got a coke to drink and a power hungry cope looking guy told me I had to keep my mask up between sips. Other things I notice I paid sixteen dollars for four bacon wrapped scallops that were not completely cooked, they have a diner that has very sad food, service, and reminded me of a school cafeteria. Other things that could have made the room nicer would be simple things that other mid level motels have such as microwave, a table chair set, and maybe breakfast for motel guests so they don't have to stand in line to get breakfast at the buffet. The tv line up was so sad because we had a hard time finding regular channels due to the large amount of advertising for direct tv $20 movie rentals.
We stayed two days so we had some time to just relax in the room.
