Amazing SC Restaurant

On March 15, 2024, my husband and I dined at SC Restaurant during our stay. The food was AMAZING! The service was speedy, and we truly enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere was good, which made the dining experience even better. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for fine dining combined with a great ambiance.

Great Show Venue

We visited the venue on June 22, 2024, and I was blown away by how well the space was designed for shows! The lobby was spacious, and there were huge screens throughout, making it easy to see the performance from any angle. Sitting anywhere in the venue is great, but being in the center was fantastic! The attention to detail made for an lovely experience.

Immaculate Room Experience

On August 30, 2024, we stayed for a night that was simply fabulous. Our room was immaculate with large windows that flooded the space with light. We were greeted with a lovely gift of chocolate strawberries, which added a special touch to our stay. Overall, the room exceeded our expectations!

Easy Parking Access

During our visit on November 5, 2024, we found the parking situation to be very convenient. Upon arrival, the lot was ample and easy to navigate, and we had no issues finding a spot close to the entrance. This made our experience much easier, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time at the resort.

7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was attentive and really added to the overall experience. However, the dining could use improvement as the food was underwhelming, and the sound insulation between rooms was poor, which made for a noisy night. Overall, it was decent, but I expected a bit more for a resort spa setting.

I had a wonderful stay at River Cree Resort and Casino! The room was clean with a nice view, and the service overall was quite good. However, the dining experience at Tap 25 left something to be desired, as the food wasn't great and the service was a bit slow. The casino and facilities provided an enjoyable experience, making it a solid choice for a fun getaway.

6.2/10

The hotel wasn't quite what we expected. While the location was decent, particularly with access to a casino, and our room was clean and had some basic amenities, there were definitely drawbacks. The dining options felt limited and made it hard to find a suitable meal, especially for families. The service at check-in was frustratingly slow, which added to the overall dissatisfaction of our stay.

Rooms

The room was clean and comfortable with a fridge and microwave, but the furnishings felt quite plain for a resort setting.

Check-in took an unexpectedly long time, which was frustrating, but the room service was fairly good and reasonably priced.

Location

7.0

The hotel is located conveniently near a casino, but it felt a bit isolated from other attractions.

Dining

The only main dining option was a buffet, which was too pricey for what was offered. It would have been nice to have more diverse and affordable choices.

Facilities

While the hotel had basic facilities, they didn't quite meet expectations for a resort atmosphere.

8.2/10

I had a delightful experience at River Cree, where the evening was filled with amazing food and a fabulous show. The venue is great, and while the staff is super friendly, the rooms could use some soundproofing as I struggled with noise during the night. The dining options were excellent, though some offerings felt a bit overpriced without a players card. Overall, it's a solid choice for a fun getaway or business stay, but be prepared for a little less peace than desired.

Rooms
