Guest Reviews
- sandrabK7967LS (10/5): "Stunning scenery, unforgettable moments, incredible staff. A must-visit. 5/5." - "My experience was absolutely exceptional, leaving me completely satisfied and wanting to come back for more! The attention to detail and the care the staff took to ensure I had a memorable stay was beyond impressive. I would definitely rate my experience a well-deserved 5 out of 5!"
- Michael (10/5): - Very nice and spacious rooms. Good beds and nice bathroom. The resort is in a remote location but there is a small fast food court and restaurant there.
- Rachel (8/5): - Everything was fine
- Tarah (10/5): - Room felt like it should’ve been much more expensive. Beds were comfortable, everything clean. Casino floor was nice to see the separate smoking room. Late night food wasn’t that great at all. I did see different options of other guests had, like pizza, looked really good. Breakfast sandwiche was 10/10! Casino was well maintained, smaller feel but big wins! Will definitely be back!
- Noah (10/5): - There was a nail that came out of the rug to linoleum separation. Other than that it wasokp
- Scott (10/5): - The staff was amazing, very friendly and even offered to help with my luggage
- Charlie (10/5): - Clean room. Pleasant staff.
- Sandi (8/5): - The smoking in parts of the casino was pretty awful.
- John (10/5): - Staff was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean
- David (10/5): - Highly recommend! Wonderful 3 week family vacation. Good location close to many towns and activities by car. Outstanding staff, always friendly and helpful. Most notably: Israel (Izzy), Kelsey, Casey, Shy, Vern, and Bricella- are all an asset to this hotel. Reasonably priced, clean rooms, jackpot breakfast daily, coffee 24/7, lobby fresh fruit water daily, use of recreation center/gym, and overall beautiful resort feel. We will only stay here on our future visits!!
- Nora (6/5): - Hotel isn’t very accommodating, some of the employees can be a bit mean. Overall clean. Amenities were nice
- ali william (10/5): - Very nice hotel
- savoeun (6/5): - Our neighbor was noisy, the walls were way too thin can hear every conversation.
- Jocene (10/5): - bar was excellent
- Kristien (10/5): - Staff was friendly. It was nice the smoking area casino was away from the hotel. Very clean
- Bradley (4/5): - We were not checked in until 4:25 and then had th settle for a handicap room. We made reservations months ago through Expedia. They assumed we were part of a wedding party and forgot about us until we complained.
- Amy (10/5): - Room was clean and comfortable, staff was very friendly
- Tim (6/5): - no staff ever cleaned our room for the three days we were there.
- Melanie (10/5): - Your entire staff, but particularly the guys in charge of parking and the front desk ladies were phenomenal. Truly above and beyond. My truck tire broke in your parking lot and your people were so nice and helpful. Made my day and then some.
- Louise Ann (8/5): Great stay. - The stay was very good. I wouldn’t pay to upgrade to a valley view room. Yes, you can see the valley but you basically have a view of the pump and play gas station. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
- Rosa (6/5): - Bathroom was dirty.
- Lupe (10/5): - Everything was absolutely great
- Douglas (10/5): - Professional service provider.
- Walter (10/5): - Room was very well maintained the staff was superb and always helpful and a delight to work with especially Vern he was very helpful and courteous all the staff was there to make your stay wonderful Thanks
- Linda (10/5): Pleasant stay - Great room nice staff loved the decor and bathroom
- Heather (10/5): - 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.
- Carl (10/5): - I like that the property was nice and clean
- Daniel (6/5): Eh - Damaged walls in the bathroom, next door neighbors loud enough to wake us, slow elevators, restaurant food was below average, and parking was challenging. Friendly staff and clean enough. Probably won’t stay here again
- Maria (10/5): - Non valley room we had in the back had parking lot (which is understandable) but also homes on the back property with a lot of junk out front.
- Rachel (6/5): - When I checked in on 09/20/25 I was trying to tell the front desk lady I wanted a quite room she didn’t even acknowledged me and she gave me a room that was for disabled person and was very noise on the first floor and to top it all off I was being talked about with the ladies at the front desk I looked at them and the ladies at the front desk looked at me and did a face like wanting to laugh not a good feeling was my first time at big bear casino and it would be my last being profiled and judge not a good feeling by the staff at the front desk
- ana (6/5): - Pet friendly with extra fee per pet, which expedia does not dosclose to you, or give you refund. You were supposed to look it up somehow.
- Pamela (10/5): - Super friendly, would definitely recommend
- ftlauderdalenative (10/5): Great reasonable stay. - Excellent check in desk female employee. Very knowledgeable & kind. Rooms were sparkly clean & spacious. Great bedding. A large part of the casino was smoke-free, so no smoke smell in the hotel at all. Good - reasonable restaurant. And a free slow electric charge for your car. And to top it off a great rate!
- Kevin (8/5): - Nothing around to do just casino .
- Robin L (8/5): - Easy check in and amenities are nice. Property needs some updating, shower, shower door and shower tile need some mold control and repair.
- Andres (10/5): - Amazing stay
- Cynthia (10/5): - Excellent casino property. Close to redwood national forest.
- John (10/5): - Check in process was fast and helpful. Kelsea had lots of good suggestions for dining in the area. Room was big and comfortable. Only negative was very noisy AC unit that took 10 minutes to turn on. Kept waking us up so we opened the window instead.
- David (10/5): - Good value for the area, big rooms with comfortable beds
- Veronica (8/5): - Didn’t get a great nights sleep. Bed not too comfortable
- Kelly (6/5): - 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.
- Kimberly (10/5): - We only stayed one night, but it was such a fun and comfortable experience! Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a great night’s rest. The casino floor was lively and entertaining, with plenty of games and a great atmosphere. Even though our visit was short, we felt taken care of and had a wonderful time. Would definitely stay here again for a longer trip!
- Michael (10/5): - Very modern and nicely furnished room. The hotel's common areas, separate from the casino, were comfortable. I did not get the chance to experience the restaurant which was closed on slow night mid-week
- Lee (10/5): - Great staff and excellent accommodations.
- Christine (8/5): - The rooms was very spacious.
- Troy (8/5): - N/A
- Y9255MNsteved (10/5): The view is beautiful - Perched above the stunning Eel River Valley, the restaurant at Bear River Casino offers one of the most gorgeous views I’ve ever seen. Rolling hills blanketed in vibrant fall colors glow in the twilight, creating a serene, picturesque backdrop for dining. Unlike the main casino floor, the dining area is separated from the smoking section, confined to a designated room away from the restaurant. As a nonsmoker, I found the atmosphere far more pleasant, free from heavy smoke. A faint smoky odor occasionally lingered—slightly noticeable but not overwhelming. Ventilation could improve, yet it’s a step above typical casino experiences. The menu shines with locally sourced cuisine, using fresh regional ingredients to craft flavorful dishes that elevate any meal. From savory entrees to creative sides, the food is a highlight. Warm, attentive service adds to the inviting ambiance, with staff ensuring a smooth experience. The blend of exquisite, locally inspired flavors, hospitable care, and jaw-dropping views makes it ideal for holiday dining. For Thanksgiving, it delivers a memorable feast in a scenic, mostly smoke-free haven. This gem is perfect for nonsmokers craving a flavorful escape. Highly recommended for its beauty and quality. Up to date with new machines and still has some of the old favorites. Here is a huge plus if you an RV or just a tired driver you can park in the back overnight.
- Carolyn (10/5): - We loved the view from our lovely 3rd floor suite and the food and service in the main restaurant were both excellent!
- Gary (8/5): - This place was awesome great rooms and perfect location. Only thing that was kind of a bummer was the service in the restaurant. Not sure if it’s a manger thing or not but there could be better service. Also took 30 minutes just to get some onion rings and fries so be prepared to wait.
- Michael (10/5): - Blonde that waited on me was very kind and sweet! Super nice bed and the shower was what I truly needed to end such a relaxing day!
- Joe (10/5): - Good
- Miles (10/5): - Amazing!
- Diana (10/5): - Everything was good especially the food.
- Ell (8/5): - 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.
- Stephen (10/5): - Great place to stay!
- Lisa (10/5): - Clean and comfortable beds
- Janice (10/5): - Always super nice
- Judie (10/5): - Very soft mood, not so crowded. Little pricy though.
- Pedro (8/5): - Nice, clean, spacious rooms. 👍
- Adam (10/5): - Perfect highly recommended
- robert (10/5): - Staff was friendly
- Bob (10/5): - Good place to be, spendy but really good
- Marck (10/5): - It was a great stay! Our room was clean and felt new. The casino was a lot of fun! We both walked out with a little extra money! We would definitely stay again!
- Paul (10/5): - Large rooms friendly staff
- Carrie (10/5): - Although this is actually a really nice casino
- Jamie (6/5): - Clean, comfy beautiful room. Staff was ok not the most welcoming. But overall good night
- Carolyn (10/5): Highly recommend - Clean, safe and comfortable rooms. The internet was good. Breakfast was delicious at the grill. We found all of the staff extremely friendly.
- Irene (10/5): - the restaurant is really good, breakfast and dinner, will try lunch next time
- Tiffany (10/5): - Spacious room. Clean and comfy beds and bathroom. Newer facility compared to others somewhat nearby for trip to the Redwoods. Even offered vouchers for breakfast. Easy self parking. Amenities as expected for our family stay.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Clean and comfortable.
- Rie (8/5): - The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The male sever was polite and nice. All in all was very positive except for the slippery floor in the shower cabin.
- Lisa (8/5): - Last minute booking. Great room. Great dinner. Great breakfast. We didn’t use the casino. We lived the big fireplace with comfy seats whilst we waited for our table.
- James (8/5): - We were passing through and this property came up in the search. Easy access to 101.
- Amparo (10/5): - great accommodations, very spacious rooms.
- Terriplus3 (6/5): Don’t believe posted casino info. - We drove 100 miles to visit this casino because they said they have table games open all day. We wanted to play in the morning. They lied. Table games are only open if they have enough staff to work. If not, you are out of luck. We made the trip for nothing.
- Kyler (4/5): - Room had someone else’s human hair in the bathroom counter and floor, there was trash in the room when we got there, used empty plastic cups under the desk when we got there. Disappointing to drive 5 hrs one way for a one night stay for $200/night
- Luis F. (6/5): - Outdated rooms, indoor pool not great, a fine place to spend the night. I did love their restaurant, great view and food!
- sherry (10/5): Worth the drive - Friendly staff, clean hotel, dining and casino areas. Dining room service and price was outstanding!
- Kevin (10/5): - Very clean, spacious rooms. Mattress & linens are comfortable.

- Shannon (10/5): - Breakfast was amazing best pancakes ever.everyone was friendly.
- Harpreet (10/5): - Nice rooms
- Debra (8/5): - Wonderful right off of freeway, friendly staff!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great staff - Great staff with great customer service. Family friendly.
- Sunny (8/5): Good for short duration - Nice little casino + hotel. Rooms are big and comfortable but there was a slight smoky smell that eventually faded away. They have complimentary electric car chargers if you can snag one of them. 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.
- Amber (8/5): - The bar was great! Loved the bartenders. America was wonderful. Very accommodating and kind. The room was comfortable, internet was spotty, but the bed was excellent.
- Dylan (10/5): - Very nice place definitely recommend and would love to come back to visit in the future!
- Guljinder (6/5): - Ac did not work in two different rooms. No tissue box and felt a little dirty.
- Tyler (2/5): - Nothing went well at this hotel. No hot water, no housekeeping, and kids yelling in the hall till 1-2am. I asked for help because I didn’t have any towels in my room when I checked in and they said they only stock every 3 or so days and couldn’t get me service then. When I mentioned issues with hot water they said it wasn’t their problem and I couldn’t switch rooms.
- Robert (8/5): - Sadly our room did not hand soap or Kleenex.
- Stephanie (8/5): - 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.
- James (8/5): - Comfortable
- Manuela (8/5): - We like the atmosphere in this place
- Connie (10/5): - Pleasant stay, nice facility and attentive staff. Appreciated the breakfast coupons provided upon arrival. Peaceful neighborhood. Would stay again.
- Roland (8/5): - The one thing I really disliked was the sliding barn door to the bathroom. I almost chopped my finger off closing it because there was no way to keep it closed. There was no latch. It would just slowly open back up. Not good when you are sharing the room with your grandkids.
