If Chinook Winds is as bad as other reviews suggest, why is the parking lot always full? Why is it necessary to call several weeks ahead to get a reservation? We've been going to Chinook Winds for years and enjoy the combination of being at the beach and playing in the casino. Join their Players Club and you'll get great offers on rooms including the chance to upgrade to a suite for $20 more. Their buffet is so so but food at Chinook Winds Grille opposite the office is quite good. The staff is friendly; free rewards are plentiful; and the sound of jackpots being won is always in the air.

I took my whole family to the buffet and I am glad I did! They have improved their food and service enough for us to continue going back there.

Some things they could improve on would be the machines. They seem to have some problems in this area, however, I feel good enough to return there!

we have been going to chinook winds for a few years now, maybe twice a year, the hotel needs some work, but we always have a lot of fun at the casino, I've had to pay uncle sam almost every year playing slots, the food up on the top floor at the

Rogue River has always been great, we just watched the ducks game, would have been better if they had won, the bathrooms are always clean, and there is always someone going around dusting machines, everyone has been very nice, after reading some of the other reviews I felt it only right to put in my two cents.
