Public ratings: what we counted, and what we didn't
You'll find no stars on this site. That's deliberate, and this page explains why, and what we can tell you instead.
Entry 01 · No numbers
Why we print no scores
Review scores change daily, the big travel platforms block automated reading, and a number we copied last month would be wrong today. We'd rather print nothing than print something we can't stand behind. Our ranking uses published facts instead, with its method in the open.
Entry 02 · The resort's own picks
What River Cree quotes from guests
The resort's pages carry a handful of guest quotes, chosen by the resort, so treat them as marketing rather than a sample. The themes are consistent: fast, friendly check-in and check-out on the Stay page; the prime rib and the servers at Tap 25 on the Tap 25 page; steak, service and the buffet at The Kitchen on its page. Nothing about the rooms themselves, which matches the gap we flag everywhere else.
Entry 03 · Read them yourself
How to use public reviews well
- Sort by newest: the hotel is changing fast with the new tower.
- Look for comments on noise and construction from 2025 onward.
- Separate hotel comments from casino and restaurant comments; one map listing covers the whole resort.
- Ignore any review that offers you a deal or a link to an online casino.
