The short version

What visitors say about Thunder Valley Casino Resort

Thunder Valley is the big resort on the northeast side of the Sacramento area, and much of its praise goes to the hotel. Guests describe clean, roomy rooms and bathrooms, good room service and friendly pool staff. The Venue, its concert hall, draws fans who fly in for touring bands, and they like that its modest size keeps the crowd close to the stage.

Restaurants include a steakhouse, a Chinese restaurant, a cafe and a food court, and they collect both raves and pans. Slots players say the machines have tightened. Guest services take the most heat: several visitors felt security and staff were slow or unhelpful after a lost item or a reported theft, and concertgoers with disabilities or medical needs say little was done to accommodate them. Small costs add up too, with one guest mentioning a resort fee and another paying to park.

    We stayed in room 708. We checked in late as it was a last minute plan and got in after midnight. Once we checked in we dropped our bags and went downstairs to play and spent most of the night in the casino. Came up around 6am and slept for 2 hours and got up to take a phone call. I looked over to the other queen bed…
