River Rock Casino Resort
The air condition in the room was not functioning properly it's a little bit hot even though we adjusted it. So we end up calling the front desk. The washroom door was not locking properly. The fridge was not cold enough.

Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront
Looking back on our trip I probably would have spent a bit more booking elsewhere Our bathroom door handle fell apart, the pool and hot tub were mid, we were given wet extra bedding, and it seems like a reno is due just in time
