Tropicana AC a dump?

[nicky g]

I'm staying at the Trop in a few days instead of my usual stay at the sweet, sweet Borg (basically because I wasn't up for the waits at the Borg this time and because for once the Trop was as cheap as teh Borg's poker rate) and, having read some really terrible reviews of the hotel/rooms on the internet (after I booked, cos that's the way I like to operate [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]), I'm wondering if I've made a big mistake. I realised that it wouldn't be as nice as the Borg, but some of the reviews make it sound like a real dump. I'm staying in the old bit, not the Havana tower, which is apparently particularly grim.
What should I expect? Is it that bad a hotel? (NB I'm interested in thoughts on it as a hotel, not the cardroom).
