River Rock Casino Resort

“Good enough hotel. But a resort? Not really.”

The hotel room was fine. Comfortable enough bed. Reasonably clean. Furniture etc in decent shape. Nice pool area. No problem there. That said, about the only reason to stay here is the casino and that is a sad state of affairs. The casino is small, was dead, overpriced drinks, lousy food options.... more

That said, about the only reason to stay here is the casino and that is a sad state of affairs. The casino is small, was dead, overpriced drinks, lousy food options. I suppose if you just NEED to gamble it may be worth it, but if you just want a night or two out, there are better options. Heck, for the price you could almost go to Vegas for a few nights. Hotel is pretty good. Resort? Not really.

1st stay - Coming from a long trip from Australia we wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport, so we could rest up before our long road trips getting there was easy only a 10 min drive, a little confusing upon arrival as there are 2 sides to the accomodation. Check in was easy, once we checked in we had to drive to the other side. All the staff where friendly and helpful. We knew that the parking was a short walk away so we stopped and unloaded our luggage, which the bellboys where very accomadating and helped us load onto a trolley and took our luggage to our room. we were on the 7th floor, lovely view of the harbour. Room was very nice, clean, bathroom looked to be renovated and new. Really enjoyed our stay for 5 nights. 2nd stay much different - after a month travelling around the beautiful Canada we needed another 2 nights close to the airport, we booked this as we where checking out from our 1st stay, they told us that the same room was not available and booked us in a bigger room called the executive room for $200 a night more. The room we got was exactly the same size and only on the 4th floor. Was much more dated (if the leather on the chair is peeled of, time to replace it!) and the bathroom was definatley smaller. Our son used the pull out sofa to sleep on, when we pulled it out that night, we found that the sheets had not been changed from the last people ... I was not happy! During this stay there was some dance competions that where on in the conference rooms, we heard the music thumping on and off from 7am right through to 9pm! for the extra $200 a night this was definately not an up grade. Other points - Not alot of options to eat around / in the the casino (room service is REALLY expensive.) We ate breakfast and lunch in Crave which was really nice food and Jason the waiter which we had everytime we visited was above and beyond outstanding. The pool and spa was great for us and the kids, they had a ball. Although on one of the days someone must have slept in and fogot to wash the pool towels as there was non and none coming so a few cranky people around the place! Other negatives - No microwave, with kids would have been nice to make them quick snacks, and no wine glasses. There was a wine ice bucket but had to drink from coffee cups, a few more kitchen necessaties would have been great.
