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.

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 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.

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.
