The buffet was tidy and the food quality above average for a buffet. For those of us who enjoy spending some time in the casino, lots of penny and two penny machines to play on. The room was great - big comfortable king bed with an amazing bathroom with a soaker tub and separate shower. Front desk staff was friendly and courteous. The road in is narrow and winding but coming from the Canadian Rockies, this is not a problem for us. Pala Resort and casino is tucked away in the middle of nowhere.
