Room was amazing, some downfalls

Flew in from out of town, stayed at an airbnb around the corner. The surrounding area is pretty shady, and anyone without confidence in walking through a pretty sketchy parking lot at night (and sometimes the day) might be a little weary.
That aside, room was outstanding, free drinks that came as fast as you wanted if you spoke up a bit (loud room, lot going on). Dealers were polite, players were pushy and expressed their distaste in many different languages to your face. Being from out of town, I guess that may just be "texas poker".
Staff was very accommodating and did their absolute best to get you to a seat and make sure you had a good time.

I would go 4.5 stars if I could, the surrounding area is the only thing that was a little iffy for me. They had 2 security guards roaming the immediate vicinity, but walking a half mile away (by my own admission) wasn't great.
