The rooms at River Cree: four types, fifteen amenities, a lot of video

What the resort says about its rooms fits on one screen. We've laid it out, added what we'd ask before booking, and split each type onto its own page.

What the Stay page publishes

The hotel has 249 guest rooms, including 11 luxury suites, and calls itself a full-service hotel (Stay page). An older overview page calls it a "4 ½ star full-service hotel" and promises ergonomic workspaces, free Wi-Fi and a Keurig in every room (hotel overview, 2025). The Stay page lists four types, each with a short video and nothing else:

Room typeWhat the name tells youOur page
Traditional King Size BedOne king bedTraditional King
Traditional 2 Queen BedsTwo queen bedsTwo Queens
Luxury One Bedroom SuiteA suite; the name suggests a separate bedroomOne Bedroom Suite
Luxury Family SuiteA suite pitched at familiesFamily Suite

The fifteen-item amenity list

The same list applies to every type, word for word from the hotel:

  • Air conditioning
  • Alarm clock
  • Bathtub
  • Cable TV
  • Coffee maker
  • Complimentary parking
  • Desk
  • Hair dryer
  • High-speed internet
  • In-room movies
  • Microwave
  • Mini fridge
  • Radio
  • Shower
  • Telephone

Add to that the 24/7 Eats in-room dining service and access to the pool, whirlpool and fitness centre. What's missing from the list is as telling: no mention of safes, irons, blackout curtains or connecting rooms. They may well be there; the page just doesn't say. That's what the desk is for.

Seven questions the page doesn't answer

  • How big is the room, in square feet?
  • Which way does it face: parkland, the parking lots, or the new tower's construction?
  • Is it on a quiet floor, away from the elevators and the casino entrance?
  • What are the check-in and check-out times? (Not published on the official pages.)
  • For the suites: what beds, and is there a sofa bed?
  • Is there an accessible version of the type you want, and what's in it?
  • Do pets stay? The casino's house rules allow documented service animals only; the hotel's own rule isn't printed.

Write any of these into the notes of the log at the bottom, and our desk will put them to the hotel before you commit to anything.

The one package on the Stay page

The Bed & Breakfast Package: one night plus one full breakfast per guest per night at The Kitchen or Tap 25. No price is printed; the page sends you to the toll-free reservations line or the Book Now button for terms (Stay page). For groups, the meetings team offers group rates on blocks of ten rooms or more (Meetings page).

The voyageur's log · a room request

Write it in the log and the desk will check the room for you

Our booking desk reads every entry, checks availability and price with the hotel's own booking channel or a booking partner, and answers by email. This is a request, not a reservation: we never ask for a card here, and nothing is held until you confirm with the hotel. Carta Vibe is not the resort; the official site is rivercreeresort.com.

How the site is paid for: funding disclosure. Requests go to the desk only, never to the casino floor.

Logged. The desk will answer by email, usually within one business day. Nothing is booked yet.
