River Rock Casino Resort
We've stayed here a few times now - great for overnight layovers at YVR. The hotel is very clean, rooms are well appointed and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The front desk staff are courteous and professional. The dining options on site are high end or food court...nothing really in between. ...
