the room was very nice and clean, the staff were very friendly and nice. the casino is very well operated and clean, the restaurant is expensive and so so. The property is not wonderful, i don't think property is that important for a casino who sits outside. I had great fun and we will go back but it will be a while

Overall, happy with the Great Blue Heron for a one night stay. The hotel main areas were clean and accessible. The check-in was quick and the front desk reception was friendly and made a great suggestion for a local bakery! The room was clean and spacious. The Mother Earth peppermint and sage shampoo & conditioner smell so wonderful.

There was no pen, pad of paper, wasn’t sure how wifi worked as there was no instructions. Paper cups were small. Unable to hookup fire stick to the television as it would not connect to the internet guest wifi. It is not great to have wifi services that are unsecure.
