    A lot has changed since my original FTR review (#1) so many years ago and now the River Rock has…read morebecome a full fledged destination in Richmond. It's become a gambler's paradise, a parking spot for the Richmond Night Market, and a hotel resort for visitors like yours truly. Now I can say I'm officially part of the latter. Things I liked:. * The price ($150USD a night) for a 1 BR suite. While prices fluctuate for any property, River Rock still has inventory when other competing hotels don't. Plus, the prices during the week are going to be one's best bet. * The bed: Who doesn't love a good comfy bed? The rooms are spacious without being too stuffy. Even the sofa bed was decent, a rarity for couch beds. * Casino: Slots are everywhere, but the table game action is solid, especially given the late night crowd. It's hard to resist the idea of playing Free Bet Blackjack, which allows one to double down and split with no risk. The catch though is that 22 is a push. * The pool: This is no ordinary hotel pool. If anything, it's reminiscent of a resort pool with different levels, and is perfect for the youngins to enjoy some water sports. There are so jacuzzis and a huge water slide, and rock tunnel. Add to the views around Richmond and it's a fun daytime activity. Things I didn't love: * West Tower Elevator has been out for close to a month. This leaves only one elevator in operation. And it's a slow elevator. * Despite getting a suite, it felt dated. The carpet was dark, much of the room's furniture looked worn, and there weren't enough outlets. * The long walk from the hotel to the parking garage. It's a hike. It's even more of an issue with the older folks walking gingerly back to hotel. * The garage parking lot elevator and stairs often smell like urine. (#2) ___________ (#1) First to review. (#2) For the person last in the elevator: Urine luck.

    I don't know why I keep forgetting to post this review. I've been to RRC at least 5 times or more…read more A few times with my friends for a girls getaway, or with my husband for a weekend to enjoy the Richmond Night Market. Place is always clean, I even bring my blacklight to check. Since I have asthma and allergic to feathers, the staff makes sure everything is feather free before I check in. Twice already I was given complimentary upgrade. Front desk is always high in customer service. I don't gamble, but went I walk across the casino to get to the parking area or night market, there's no smoke whatsoever. I just found out they are pet friendly. And so is the night market. So next time we bring the fur babies. Not to mention their outstanding spa. I'll write that review on their own page. Also compared to the other hotels in the area, the price is pretty decent.

    Stayed at the hotel a few nights . I can't say it was a bad experience room was clean smelled a…read morelittle funny. Especially the hotel lobby they need to figure out the horrible smell as you walk even my kids were like what's the smell I'm like that's dingy casino smell....just a very mediocre at best casino experience craps staff is horrible and makes playing no fun which was a bummer. Instead of engaging and having fun with the players , they bitched and complained about where we tossed our bets on the table. I have played craps at every casino in WA and never had this happen 5 of us left the table because it was dry and boring to play. Played a few slots really tight so bailed quick. Definitely not a great place to test your luck on slots lol Overall was $500 total for 2 hotel nights so nor bad but the casino is not worth it unfortunately. One thing that was also annoying was the line for the ATMs serious figure that shit out and get more ATMs half of the were "out of service " I would 100% spit this place for Tulalip or angel of the winds any day !

    We have learned on certain road trips to avoid hotels in crowded big cities. Parking was always an…read moreissue and often an added extra expense after the cost of the room... So here we are at the Silver Reef Casino. An open area outside of the crowds. We called the local number to make our reservations and to avoid these online reservations agencies that just inflate the prices. We ended up with a nice hotel with clean rooms. Our room has queen size beds with a medium firmness. This room is clean and spacious. It has a large flat screen TV, a decent sized mini fridge, a dresser for those of us who like to unpack. The A/C unit heats nicely. There is a large vanity for the bathroom and the tub shower offers shampoo and body wash. The bonus to staying at a casino hotel is the addition of security. Less worries about your car. Then there's the restaurants that are available, here there are 5. So there it is, well kept rooms, plenty of free, secure parking, and on site restaurants as well as some adult entertainment before getting some shut eye. Much more relaxing here instead of being in the crowded big cities with minimal parking.
