What guests think

Across many reviews, Bear River Casino Resort stands out for friendly staff, spacious modern rooms, and a generally clean, good-value stay with on-site dining and a casino, though some guests report noise, small pool facilities, and occasional service hiccups.

Many appreciate the non-smoking casino area, breakfast vouchers, and access to a recreation center across the street. Reviews also note inconsistent housekeeping and occasional cleanliness lapses, slow or irregular restaurant service, and a remote setting with limited off-site options. Overall, expect a comfortable, casino-adjacent stay that’s best for travelers prioritizing on-site amenities over a downtown location.

Room was not clean upon arrival. Front desk sent someone right away but didn’t really clean it even when pointed out. Most doors were very dirty as well just walking down the halls. Pool was nice and the outdoor patio was very nice. Parking garage was an unexpected surprise! Dining room meals were good and fresh.

Casino is ok with but food choices are limited on site. We ended up going to Eureka which is 10 mins away. Overall decent stay and staff is friendly.

The hotel was nice. Girls at the front desk did their job quickly and were pleasant. My room definitely wasn’t very clean. Very disappointing. Bathroom didn’t look like it had much attention and there were a pair of dirty women’s underwear left under the curtains. That’s was disturbing. Bathroom floor wasn’t very clean.

This is my honest review after staying at the hotel for one night in August 2025. The good: room 402 was spacious, clean, a decent bed (7 out of 10), beautiful-looking shower, and the hotel had luggage carts both near the lobby and in the parking garage. The bad: the function of the shower (5 out of 10), so weak and it took forever to get soap off. There was no warm blanket or comforter on the bed; I was cold all night. The room temp is not well-regulated when A/C is used (6 out of 10). Pasta night in the main restaurant: I ordered Alfredo pasta with chicken and gulf shrimp for $27. The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the “gulf shrimp” were actually tiny cocktail shrimp (4 out of 10). Tip: the A/C is controlled at the window unit, not the wall. I would stay here again.

I also was awakened at 5:50 by a forklift/maybe garbage truck beeping and moving abt - and I was on the 4th floor with window shut. Otherwise the room was nice and quiet.

Its nice, clean, good sized room....but check in was a nightmare and its not dog friendly. The 1st woman we had at checked in told me my reservation was wrong (when it wasn't) and she was not any nicer with the other person on my reservation, telling her her card declined when it cleary went through. When checking in I was told that they couldn't accommodate adjointy rooms I requestsed and that was approved prior to arrival(i have a 15 year old that needs to be next to me with my mother, due to special needs) because they didnt know I had a dog (i have an email clearly stating they would accommodate us, WOTH THE DOG). Although I reserved long before they sold out, rooms were separated by 4 floors. I got the feeling because they were sold out and they didn't have adjoining rooms, like they thought if they made it difficult, i would give up and leave. It was totally unprofessional to ignore my reservation. Taking the dog out was an insane walk. Not dog friendly, they just accept dogs (there is a difference).Hallways were loud and doors slammed all night. We are up in this part of the state often, but i would never go back.

Well talk about no customer service experience. Got greeted with a long face with by the front desk. After driving for a couple hours from a business trip. We checked in late around 11pm and I got was ID…. And went into an awkward silence until she says ok here is your room keys….. Btw its our 1st time here I had to tell her… while where are your rooms located… oh turn that way …. ( Which way lady) I was just so exhausted I didn’t have the energy to engage in this poor service and I guess I would figure it out. We get there it’s 1st loud in the hall way and then people are going up and down to pool and fitness center So I said you know what let’s hit the casino people should be asleep by the time we return that was about 1am Got back our neighbor had the TV full blast so I just put some calming music to get some sleep. Nope 8am they are shampooing the carpet all morning There goes my rest all morning hearing the machine was horrible I was just over it….. Would I be back absolutely not… don’t be rude when people check in have some common courtesy of welcoming people ….there is times when people have to check in late but don’t be the grinch because you work the night shift.

The hotel front desk staff was amazing!! Super helpful and went above and beyond. Parking wasn’t the best and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable I’ve slept in (but I also like my bed on the very soft side) - but the staff made it all worth it and are definitely the reason I would be staying again.

The staff is not friendly. I think you’re supposed to feel welcome not a burden. I felt like I was just a burden to the staff who checked me in. An older lady with glasses, seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Even though I needed help with something, I decided not to ask I didn’t want to deal with her. Took away from the hotel experience.

Checkin was smooth and friendly. Room was comfortable. Good bed, great bathroom, nice amenities. Casino is not our thing, so besides our free welcome budget didn't spend cash there. Even without going to the casino, great place to be. Breakfast alot of choice (and discounted for us during checkin), but took very long to be prepared (1h ) - hope that was a fluke for the day. All and all recommendable hotel, worth it's money.

Staff gave me the runaround about my early check out and never gave me a follow up call as promised! I put my name on a list for a table at the restaurant. They told me 20 to 25 minutes 40 minutes later returned to see what was taking so long. They apologized and told me it would be another 15 to 20 minutes. 30 minutes later, I returned to tell them to take my name off the list, and all the sudden they had a table for me and my coworker. Will not return!
