Kind of reminded me of a theater lobby waiting for the movie to end. Behind the glass was the high stakes tables, all empty. One Craps, one Roulette, one Black jack, one 7 card or whatever and one other. That's their pride, to have the most electronic games in Oregon. Not much of a 'Casino' as it's all electronic games. This casino/resort could be great with a little better management minded leadership probably, but wouldn’t be our first choice next time. Overall I would check out other casinos in the area first, both for play and especially if planning to stay a while and play. There was no offer for additional help with luggage, parking, etc amidst all the mess of the parking lot work going on and even at baseline there was no luggage carts available or help offered with bags. They also had unclear signs about what was closed when and called our room and woke us to tell us to go move our car, during the night, to an even further back section and the next morning we would have been gone before workers even started. Instead of closing half of the lot left or right and leaving dedicated space for those lodging we had long walks to and from car. They were repainting the parking lot and closed off the entire front section the whole time we were there. Very poor business sense related to accommodating guests staying and the resort and work being done in parking.

Water pressure in shower was very low making it challenging to even wash and rinse hair for my wife. Prices a little high for type of food, though normal for most casinos. Very little other choices close by for other food options, especially breakfast. Chinook Casino offered many more table games and free play though we did not even stay there. Even though signing up for rewards program and staying 2 nights absolutely no offers for free play. The Not Great: The games didn’t seem to pay out as well as other places we’ve been. There are self serve fountain drinks and coffee. There is a good variety of old and new slot machines.

The whole resort was clean with baseline expected staff courtesy. Our room with king size bed was spacious with a nice bathroom. The good: The price per night seemed ok initially.
