All the rooms are suites, which are a plus. Sophia the event coordinator was impeccable!
The bartender told me that there was a time limit on how many drinks I could have in one hour, non smoking was a plus.
With the new renovations for the 2010 Olympics, there were no places to eat breakfast-except the Food Court.
There on business and the convention room that is it's own self contained area was nice with good service. Additional service fee for the wireless connection but paying once out of the 2 times we've been there is not bad.
The place was okay, but I love Vancouver so being 15 minutes away from the city was awesome :)

I truly believe the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond is the closest thing to Las Vegas B.C. has to offer. Overlooking the Fraser River, River Rock offers a plethora of slot machines, poker tourneys, and a Racebook area for fans of horse racing, as well as other amenities such as a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet ($20 a plate/person), tropical-style swimming pool ($10, plus you can use the hot tub and gym), onsite Absolute Spa (offering facials, massages, hydrotherapy, and more), and the River Rock Show Theatre, which features 950 seats and some great live acts.

Drove in. Let Valet do the car - free parking at 3 storey parkade is a mid-walk back to hotel, albeit more close the the extensive Casino. Also, Valet is better security and all other take in baggage and services, do add up. Check-in on 2nd floor, very efficient. Enjoyed a package deal that was much-more than anticipated. Offerings change and without one, it is worth every nickel. Room was a suite (all suites); the bedroom and bed most fabulous & large, my girlfriend and I were able to sleep with our nightly aerobics w/flashing arms w/o hitting one another. TV in this room too. Comfy robes provided, lighted closets. Water provided. Goblets. Glasses. Coffee/tea mugs and maker and in room fridge to use (not stocked) & a "safe".

So well appointed, nice tall seating (I'm disabled hip down) yet can walk a flat surface, chairs are high enough -my booster pillow not needed - but even regular folk prefer the higher seating. On request they provided the best raised toilet top w/hand bars for me to use and even offered a fully disabled room. We stayed with this one, on a view of the river. Very nice. No convenience was missed. All amenities in lush bathroom w/soaker tub & huge rain-shower. Electronic Keys Secure. Splendid decor & furnishing - well appointed in art, paint shade, carpet pattern and comfy to walk with detail in tiles to drapery. The only fault is although good air-flow, a window would not open, would be nice to have a 2" nature hole. However River Rock is better than some we stayed at Whistler (for the price maybe similar in outlay) -for the price RR is the deal of the century. Free newspaper in the doorway.

Runway 26 The Buffet is the best for value and price and offerings in the lower mainland. We go just for the buffet throughout the year. Entertainment is name and TicketMaster. LuLu's is a lounge in the Casino to dance and sit and enjoy or listen to within the confines of the near Slots. The other restaurant is higher class, view on pier and white linens yet better prices than a food fair at the airport and food Very Good and Breakfasts to bar-none terrific. Don't let the outside and inside of this book deter you, the prices are average anywhere, just you'll feel like you're in as a VIP. Internet and TV as internet $12 for 24 hrs. w/keyboard on coffee table (if you didn't bring your own); also business centres for free internet at public sites.

Sound proof is excellent as planes depart and land at YVR over just beside. Not a bother in the hotel or room. You won't hear your neighbours or plumbing either.

Recommended for us that live here and for those that want quality without spending a bundle. The YVR SkyTrain opens in Sept '09 and will whisk one to DT Vancouver or vis vis, so one will not have to pay the Vancouver price. It's a heck of a feeling to say so many wonderful things about such an accommodating hotel. Even the staff refused a tip. We'd have to press them to accept, yet walk with us to the elevator, take the luggage, get ice, 24hr services; action; sleep and calm - make it what you want. A resort it is. Relax or Party. River Rock, Rocks. Free parking too, if you're up to a small walk from the 3 storey parkade which we use when just doing the "casino".

Was fun to be a tourist in my own town and highly recommended to all.

No shuttle which would have been nice. Nice room with separate bedroom for parents and pull out sofa for kids. Room service limited for kids and pricey. Casino runs hotel in the sense you have to walk right by it to check in. Once renovations done, should be much better. Easy check in, clean room. Ate at fine dining restaurant as adults - great food and location. Easy to call cab in morning to airport. Once SkyTrain done - will be a stop so really simple for air travel connections.

The room was comfortable for our family of four; nice t.v., great bed in the executive suite, comfortable space. We were very disappointed to find that the mini-fridge did not get cold and that one side of the building does not come with bath tubs. The "green" factor was great and the kids loved the pool, however we could not take them to the food court (located in the casino). We found the buffet offering to be good but over priced.

Hotel staff was very accommodating. Despite renovation facility was very presentable. Room was as advertised on web site and in good condition. not the most convenient location due to all of the construction taking place in Vancouver.

The hotel was a very good deal, which made it a 4. It felt new, too new in some cases since you felt like you were in a construction zone. The staff was friendly and the pool area was nice. We stayed there because of the pool and would go back for the same reason.
The pool area is a kid saver and the property felt safe. However, there’s little to do in that area off-property. You’ll drive up into the core of Vancouver for Stanley Park, Yaletown, and Granville Island. We went to Granville Island every day.
