River Cree Resort & Casino

The bed and pillows were so comfortable! Best sleep ever. Very quiet building.

Loved it all!

Second time staying at this hotel and it's lovely. The rooms are large, clean and modern. The Enoch Cree are building a huge new tower next to the main part of the hotel and it looks spectacular. Lots of new features in the plans. I don't know if a new concert venue is one of them, but man is it ever needed. See below for that part of the review. The hotel? Definitely recommend it, although it was pricey -- perhaps due to the concert happening that same night (which is why we stayed there).

As mentioned above, it was pricey (over $300) which is a lot for a room well outside of the downtown core. We were there for a concert that night, likely the reason for the high price. Two suggestions for improvements: the number of restaurants on-site and the concert venue (called "The Venue"). Not sure if this is endemic to all similar hotel/casino complexes, but we've seen this before. There are nowhere near enough proper, sit-down restaurants at River Cree. There are two full-service restaurants, both of which were full (no reservations available) plus a pub where you could line up and hope for a table. There are also a couple of fast food joints if you're desperate. A third proper restaurant is needed. And then there is The Venue, which is a cross between a large high school gym and a curling rink. I mean, yikes, it's nowhere near what it should be considering the quality of the hotel it's attached to. It gets a lot of crummy reviews about crowded seating and terrible sound, and both criticisms are fair and justified. The sound was really bad and we felt sorry for the artists. The rest of the facility was ok... washrooms were decent and there were enough bars inside the hall to accommodate everyone. But man, the sound? Awful. Short of knocking it down and building a proper concert hall, I don't think there's anything you could do to fix that. With any luck, the new tower they're building next door will include a proper, professional concert venue.

Loved the sign for people to be quiet in the hallways. Bed and pillows incredibly comfortable.

Very friendly & accomodating
