Chinook Winds Casino Resort

The Barr makes good drinks. the deli not Good food. wish they had more wheel of fortune slot machines three machines is not enough

Didn’t stay at the resort. But are at the buffet. Sooo happy with it. Cheaper then most and a way bigger selection, nice prompt staff. Can’t wait to come back!

What’s not to love about this place, a casino at the Beach, those are the best ones. I’ll have to say I haven’t been in here a whole lot, but what I have seen is great. I will say If you are there and are going to the to Grill part, it’s not in the casino, it’s over in the hotel and the food is great there it’s also a great music venue. I would go back if someone I liked played there. I don’t gamble so there’s that but I do enjoy the views and the ambiance of the place. We have a trailer so wouldn’t ever stay at the hotel, but I have in the past and it’s been wonderful.

12 noon and ALL CARD TABLE GAMES HAVE A DEALER. I wanted to play roulette but they wouldn’t put a dealer on that game? I was told it was going to be a few hours. I just don’t understand. Maybe they know they make more money off card tables? Get that god damn wheel out of there if no one is able to run it. Not everyone likes playing cards. Also the Sunday buffet is absolutely garbage! The lobster is disgusting only thing good is breakfast! Go to mcdonalds for lunch and dinner it will taste better trust me

Stayed in a Jr. Suite for a concert at the casino. Nice room, updated. The shuttle service was nonexistent, we called three times, waited 30 minutes. No shuttle, no explanation. The staff was like a deer in headlights. We walked. Come to find out, the band was occupying the shuttle before and after the concert. Some explanation from hotel staff would have been nice. Local rednecks with zero customer service skills. The Siletz Bay Buffet manager needs to be terminated/​replaced. It’s obvious they just don’t care… About anything. Really bizarre employees not geared for customer service AT ALL.

I love this place, fun casino, cheap room rates compared to all other ocean view resorts/​hotels in the city. By no mean are they the nicest, but for the rate they charge they are more than adequate. Friendly staff. Had an issue where we needed security, and they promptly showed up, good job, Chinook staff!

Do NOT Drink The Water! Really, it felt like drinking from the Pacific ocean! There’s Free Wi-​Fi but our room didn’t work. Their excuse was that there are ‘drop zones’ on some rooms and their IT was looking into it. Just get a signal booster you goons! TVs are still the big ones yet they pickup widescreen signals so you get the stretchy look. Not too bad of a view of the beach and Casino is right around the corner but not the best place to stay.

This is a nice Resort/​casino with alot of amenities. The original buildings were part of the old Dunes Hotel, there is great beach access, a casino with restaraunts and a hotel with the old part but also new and a pool.

The buffet was expensive and had very little to choose from food wise, and was not very tasty would not eat here again, but waitress was very nice

Decided to escape and gamble for the night. Ordered a non smoking room. Beautiful room facing the beach but it smells like a astray. Ashtrays are in room.
Crappy night to sleep. They were doing construction in room above us all night, doing cartwheels or doing meth. Worst sleep experience. Don’t get anything but a top floor.
PS. Staff was friendly. Visitors sucked

We are staying in Building #A (the suites) and our room is gorgeous, Wow! I am spoiled now. We have a beautiful ocean front room with balcony, fireplace, king bed and since we are here mid week we got a great deal on the room rate. The rooms in Building #A are the only rooms with balconies and if I am at the beach I need a balcony!

My bacon cheese burger $ 8 sounded like a good idea until I couldn’t eat it. Pink inside. Not just mine but everyone in my group.

I’m very thankful for Jeanette and her staff for providing excellent accommodations for our 2 night stay here. We’ll be back for sure!

The Hotel: the rooms are ok, on par with motel 6/​sleep inn. That being said a renovation would be highly suggested but I understand why they don’t. The rooms are sold out weeks in advance with no shortage of people clambering to get a room.
The Casino: it’s a casino, they’re in it to make money. Understand the majority of the time you will lose money, It’s not an investment its entertainment. They have slots on both floors and table games on the main floor. They have a smoke free area but like other casinos the best machines are out in the smoking area.

I personally don’t feel this casino gets it, the prices of the buffet and the poor quality of the food items being served are an example of the overall service and experience you can expect. Not once in my past three visits have I encountered an employee who smiled or received any type of acknowledgement or welcome.
The RV park is on a heavily sloping parking lot, almost as if they’re saying ‘sure you can stay overnight, and gamble but we don’t want you too comfortable that you might stay longer’.

the quality has gone downhill rapidly in the last year or so. great job remodeling, now make some better food? the veggies were all soft and soggy. the fried chicken was softer and soggier than the veggies. the prime rib was ok, but how is it everytime i come in here the person cutting the meat is less interested than the time before? you cant even respond to a hello /​thank you? (this has ALWAYS been an issue here, you must have at least one guy back there who doesnt hate everyone you could have come out and slice the prime rib? get mike haft to do it? at least he can respond and smile .)
the pork was dry and leathery .
the best thing is the desserts they make there. the marionberry crumble with a shot of soft serve vanilla ice cream is pretty heavenly .
we usually stick around and throw some money into the machines, but between the derelicts, cigarette smoke, and crowds of 90 yr olds? we walked through and just left .
i always hope the buffet will be better than it is. shame on me i guess. next time ill just drive to grand ronde.

I’m going to make this sort and easy.
Pros: free all you can drink soda and juice.
Cons: the machines are tight. Makes it not fun to come here.

I was sitting at the slots blowing like a dollar every thirty seconds, the cocktail waitress comes around «cocktail?» I asked for a bloody mary. «That will be 5.25.» Wait… what?! I have NEVER been charged for a drink at ANY other casino (wendover, LV, winnemucca…) while incinerating my money into their machines – will not be back.

We’ve been here twice on a mid-​week trip to Lincoln City. One major plus to point out is after 9pm, when everything else is closed for food, the casino has a 24/​hr Deli open with hot items.
The casino wasn’t too smoky, nor too busy. Free soda/​water/​coffee is a nice touch.
The slots, compared to the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, FL, actually allow you to win a little bit.
Nice casino, no major complaints!

If your going to gamble, your better off funding your 401K, trust me. They are in the business to make money, period.
The smoke smell is overwhelming. On the way to the buffet your end up smelling like an ashtray by the time you arrive.
The buffet is a step up from Sweet Tomato’s, with better meats. But you are still in a cafeteria style set up.
Once you have been in Vegas this really seems horrible. Sorry to say. This one is showing it’s age, and has almost no ventilation.

Dark and Dingy, old with no view of the ocean. The food is over priced and the service is bad. They don’t keep very many table open. Valet is very slow, normal parking is a pain.

Been to this Casino several times, a couple years ago we got to see Collin Raye do three shows in 2 days at their Convention Center! Three great concerts by a great Country music star!
They also have a very good Sunday buffet and a good buffet at this Casino, the slot machines here are your typical slots with the typical payouts of the machines, and the employees here are very courteous and prompt.
Haven’t stayed at the hotel itself, but the Casino has a nice view of the Pacific Ocean.

The actual casino itself is fine despite it having horrible ventilation for all the smoke. My review is based on being ID’d literally three times in 20 minutes. I even made a point to get the 21 and over bracelet that the bouncers give you at the front podium. When carded I said politely that I had my bracelet and showed them… Yet they still carded me. And followed me. Otherwise the casino is OK with plenty of entertaining games for everybody. It’s also huge and spacious.
I’ll go back again, but hopefully won’t get stalked like a minor :)

Went out here with my retired dad and had some fun although we did not feel the slots were as free and easy as the casino closer to Salem. What I did like about this place was the fact that you could dovetail a visit to the beach with a casino trip.
First, the beach access was wonderful. Just a simple staircase down to the sand. We parked in the lot, gambled, went on the beach for a nice walk, etc., then went back to game. They have RV parking (day only with no service) on the hill and several types of water view rooms. We noticed that there are 3 types of rooms.
1. Ocean view with porch (the best rooms)
2. Ocean view with patio and door at ground level (next best)
3. Rooms with views and no patio or porch.
I would ask for the #1 room above if staying here.
Overall a fun place for folks who like to gamble.
Even better if you want to take in the ocean for a few hours/​gamble here and there and have a good place to park.
