We stayed at Chicken Ranch Casino Resort for two nights and absolutely loved it. The place was spotless — the cleanliness was truly impressive — and it felt like real luxury without breaking the bank. The location is perfect, just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, which made our day trip super easy.
One of the most important things we loved is that both the casino and the hotel have a no smoking policy, which made our stay so much more comfortable. It felt like Vegas-level luxury without the unpleasant smoke smell — a huge plus for us.
The staff were warm and friendly, the pool was a big hit with the kids (especially in the summer), and having a gym on-site was a nice bonus. The rooms were comfortable, quiet, and well-appointed, giving us that perfect mix of comfort, value, and a bit of indulgence.
They do have two restaurants and a fast food spot, which was convenient, but we wish there were even more dining options to choose from. Overall, though, for the price, convenience, and quality, this place really delivered — we’d definitely stay here again.
