There are separate areas for trucks and cars. Both have some decent tall trees for shade and are nicely far from the noise of the highway if you were thinking of taking a nap. Some trash and the rest room needed attention. But if you just want to walk around without getting off the highway, this works. [Review 20858 overall - 115 in Washington - 1842 of 2023.]

"Google" said that OR had less expensive gas, but that is not true compared to here. See my OR Costco Gas review. I also think before I leave OR, that I will stock up on paper supplies, just to save on the sales tax from my states NV & CA. Decent local beer selections, see pictures. Excessive taxes on alcohol, see pictures. Anyway, inside my wife bought a few things. I did not even look. Ambiance - Consistent. Departments - Gas, food court, pharmacy, tire center, optical, hear aid and a CAR WASH. The only other Costcos that I have seen a car wash are in Scottsdale AZ, USA and Seattle WA, USA. Service - Self service. Price - $4.89 a gallon, less expensive than expected. And whatever my wife bought. The car wash was $7.99. And the cars did NOT leave dry?!?!

Especially the hotel lobby they need to figure out the horrible smell as you walk even my kids were like what's the smell I'm like that's dingy casino smell....just a very mediocre at best casino experience craps staff is horrible and makes playing no fun which was a bummer. Instead of engaging and having fun with the players , they bitched and complained about where we tossed our bets on the table. I have played craps at every casino in WA and never had this happen 5 of us left the table because it was dry and boring to play. Played a few slots really tight so bailed quick. Definitely not a great place to test your luck on slots lol Overall was $500 total for 2 hotel nights so nor bad but the casino is not worth it unfortunately. One thing that was also annoying was the line for the ATMs serious figure that shit out and get more ATMs half of the were "out of service " I would 100% spit this place for Tulalip or angel of the winds any day !

We have learned on certain road trips to avoid hotels in crowded big cities. Parking was always an…read moreissue and often an added extra expense after the cost of the room... So here we are at the Silver Reef Casino. An open area outside of the crowds. We called the local number to make our reservations and to avoid these online reservations agencies that just inflate the prices. We ended up with a nice hotel with clean rooms. Our room has queen size beds with a medium firmness. This room is clean and spacious. It has a large flat screen TV, a decent sized mini fridge, a dresser for those of us who like to unpack. The A/C unit heats nicely. There is a large vanity for the bathroom and the tub shower offers shampoo and body wash. The bonus to staying at a casino hotel is the addition of security. Less worries about your car. Then there's the restaurants that are available, here there are 5. So there it is, well kept rooms, plenty of free, secure parking, and on site restaurants as well as some adult entertainment before getting some shut eye. Much more relaxing here instead of being in the crowded big cities with minimal parking.

Oh, poo. First stop…read moreon the road trip to California. Left on schedule, making great time down Highway 5, I'm gonna hit Grants Pass before 6 pm!! Woo hoo!! Ferghal and Lola are zonked out and I hate to stop but I *gotta go*. As I make my way to the right side of the highway, the pups perk up and breathe their doggie breath down my neck . Much meefing and wild tail wagging. Pups loves them a road trip --- because that means Rest Areas!! They are dogs --- they are easily pleased. First order of business --- figuring out where the hell I am. I drove past Chehalis, but the rest stop sign *says* Chelhalis. I know that's wrong, but deep down I wonder if maybe I'm driving on some sorta road to hell and I've been unknowlingly driving in the Chehalis vortex --- because if there is such a thing --- it's not in middle of the ocean near Bermuda, No, no, no , it's here. In Chehalis. The place people dream of leaving. I could hardly stand staying long enough to pee. Which brings me to the second order of business: Clean bathrooms (but no toilet seat covers --- that just makes me cranky), free coffee, stale store bought cookies (some road stops have ladies who make cookies, this rest stop was staffed by a couple of retired truckers who found the cookies behind the seat in the rig). Now for the third order of business: c'mon pups... do your bidniss! Holy crap! I mean literally... Holy. Crap. There is dog poop everywhere. Ooooooh geeeeeez. I guess those "pick up after your pooch please" signs you see some places really help --- and if you're not gonna have toilet seat covers --- how 'bout some POOP BAGS!? YES I AM YELLING HERE. It coulda been a nice rest stop too --- couple of tables under the trees. Nice wide paths to walk around. It could have been so nice but for well, the poo. Hey! Look - they have WiFi!! Nevermind. Registration won't work --- I don't think I like this rest stop, they don't even have vending machines. Time to toutle on down the highway.

It is located just past the Deer Park Loop interchange. There are a number of small restroom buildings with both male and female restrooms. The toilets themselves are pit toilets, no running water here so make sure to have some hand sanitizer (I also carry toilet paper in the trunk of my car just in case). There is small vehicle, large vehicle (for example semi-trucks), and vehicle with trailer parking available. A large grassy lawn stretches out behind the restrooms, a good place to take a short walk and stretch one's legs. Informational signs are also posted at this rest area. One of the signs provides context on how the Olympic Mountains got their name. Another contains a map of the Northern Olympic Peninsula with things such as camping, ranger stations, and lighthouses marked on the map. A great place to stop for a rest and get one's bearings before continuing on one's way.

There…read moreis a row of pit toilets - no running water, but they were well maintained and stocked with toilet paper. No vending machines or other amenities otherwise. If you're a history buff, there's a historical marker here that described the naming of Mt. Olympus (it was originally named Sierra Nevada de Santa Rosalia!). There's also an informational panel with a map of the northern Olympic peninsula with points of interest if you aren't familiar with the area or are looking for additional stops on your journey. If you want to stretch your legs or walk your dog, there's a small trail near the back of this rest area that abuts some woods. It's away from the busy roadway so a bit quieter back there.

Flawless service, exceptional catering, and a great family stay!…read more My family and I stayed at Tulalip Resort and Casino for a nearby wedding, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. The resort held the rehearsal dinner in one of their private banquet rooms for about 30 people, and the experience was immaculate. It's easy for service to slip when a huge resort narrows its focus down to a smaller private room, but the catering team was prompt, courteous, and the food was outstanding. Beyond the event, the entire staff--from the concierges to the team on the casino floor--was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The casino area itself felt surprisingly quiet and relaxing. We also really loved the beautiful art and history exhibits showcasing the rich culture of the Tulalip people throughout the property. We traveled with our 2-year-old daughter and booked a Deluxe King. The room was spacious enough that we easily slid the couch next to the bed to create a perfect, cozy "crib" setup for her. Whether you're staying for a major event or a quick getaway, Tulalip handles every detail with top-tier care. Highly recommend!

They are angry slots. Monster slots that like to gobble up your coins. Yeah. Not friendly slots at all. The service at the resort is good though and their beds are comfy.

Our site was a little shady but clean and roomy. We have an average sized travel trailer (self contained) so a full hook up was not necessary and there was a restroom close by. But, the problem was the men's side looked vandalized and nearly unusable. I felt bad for the folks who had paid for hurts in that area. The women's side was cleaned daily but the showers needed more attention, hair and dirt under the mats.

I camp regularly with friends, this was my friends and my first time in this particular camp and now the pros. Pro: Showed up late but the guy at the front was super kind and even gave us a little time to rinse off before leaving the pool. We had a hoot, the place was quiet and we were able to celebrate a friends birthday and star gaze. The cons: The lady in the cart with the power trip. She's got to go. Not only did she feel the need to SCREAM at us but she also wanted to sit there and lecture. nope. unfortunately, alot of other people have had this interaction with her and she either needs coaching or what not. the other campers around us were super kind and its a sham that with all the amenities it still soured out FIRST time on this lot. This was for Bow,WA as well.
