Robinson Rancheria Resort & Casino

I been coming to Robinson Casino for a while playing Bingo. We stayed at the room that are okay. My problem is do not forget anything in room, they never have them in lost in found. I lost cloth twice and my expensive Starbuck cup. They say go to lost in found but never there.

I tried to think of another word to describe this place but I can’t. So I must say it. This place is pretty trashy. Old machines, old people, old décor. I didn’t expect much (judging by the profile pic on Unilocal) so I guess it lived up to my expectations?
There were only a small handful of poker machines (think toddler size handful) and very outdated slot machines. No bells and whistles here. I must say our money stretched pretty far though and we killed probably 4 – 5 hrs without making a bit dent in our pockets. No food options (at least not after 9pm) and one bar for getting drinks. A few cocktail waitresses scattered around but none that bothered to ask us what we wanted.
The drive here from Ukiah is terrifyingly dark and scary… Drive carefully!
PS: we will not be back. ever…

I wasn’t expecting much, visiting for a few days to check out a new area. We decided to drive down to Robinson. In a world where I’m use to Reno, Cache Creek, and Thunder Valley I thought I would get a piece of a bit of it. Not even. Trashy McTrashy pants is how that casino comes across to me. Outdated machines mean for the mid to late 90s it feels, demographic looks as if you need to keep one hand on your wallet at all times. Cocktail servers would only walk around certain areas of the casino… which isn’t very big at all. Video Poker was a bit loose to let you play for quite a bit. Bar area seemed more like a bowling alley hangout and the waitress was more drunk then I was, and that made me jealous. Never stepping foot into this place again, more comical then anything

My wife and I stopped in to have what we thought would be an adequate yet inexpensive dinner here and were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was for the value. The salad was fresh, the prime rib was very good for the price, the chicken sandwich was great and the Cajun fries were crisp and well seasoned. It definitely exceeded our expectations by a large margin. All of this for $ 21.00. I wish I could find that kind of value every day. I would give it a five but it is a casino atmosphere after all.

While playing slots there was a power outage. Power restored and I went from one machine with my ticket for $ 19.97 to another machine and was not given credit to play yet ticket that printed out was for .02 cents. I alerted cashier immediately and after waiting AN HOUR they told me while they could see I did not play the machine, they «didn’t know what happened» and I was out $ 19.97. Place is a ripoff don’t do it.

Took two tries to get someone to the hotel desk to check me in. Service at the restaurant was sketchy, 3 waitresses, 2 cashiers, everyone still waiting forever for service. There was one waitress trying to pick up all the slack from the other two. Two cashiers (gossiping), and still everyone waiting to cash out.
Now to the room, bed hard as a rock, lighting very poor, toilet kept running till you jiggle the handle. Sink drains so slow it fills up from brushing your teeth. Security, well that is great, there was plenty, so much that you feel that they must have alot of problems?! Friendly, not really. Polite but not really freindly. Food was good, BUT, RARE means rare, filet mignon was ruined by being cooked too long and a weird wine based sauce on it. All in all, not bad, not good. Would I come back? If I do, it won’t be something I’m excited about. Motel 6 would be just as good.

We stopped and had lunch today. The food was good and the price was reasonable. Would give fine stars but there was allot of smoke in the air. I had a salad and my husband had eggs Benedict. We tried the garlic fries and calamari sticks. They were also good. The mamosa was also good.

$ 112 for a king suite on a holiday weekend! My husband and I were just driving for the day and decided to stop and stay and they had availability. The staff was incredibly friendly and the room was very clean. The restaurant was a little understaffed. I like the smaller casinos.
Overall, a solid, clean place.

Not impressed with this place at all. Still waiting to check into the hotel. We were here once before & I won a little on slots so we thought we would come back again for the bingo. This will probably be our last time here unless we win something big tonight! The rooms are just ok… old, outdated, etc. The worst part though is the customer service & long lines to check in. Waiting over 30 minutes (both times) because they can’t check more than one guest in at a time is unacceptable!

I’ve been staying up here in the clear lake area for the past two weeks. Out of all the hotels I’ve been staying at this one is in the top 5. It’s alot cleaner then others I’ve stayed at. I didn’t spend any time in the casino, so I can’t comment about that. I did eat at the restaurant, simple menu, decent food, nothing to write home about.

I just recently in fact Friday March 27^th was up at Robinson and my husband and I were gambling. We were playing a game in the back by the Bingo hall. My husband cashed out and we started to walk away and turned to grab my ticket and it was gone. Yup Gone some scum bag walked by and grabbed my ticket. Thank God there was a Security Guard right behind he did his little check things then called his supervisor and he came over. They then call the higher ups and they checked the video and found the ScumBag who did it.
I thank the guys for their security team. They called us last night and told us they caught the Dirt Bag. I got my money back and hope that the guy can not do this to anyone else.
So word of advise stay until you grab that ticket and watch your surroundings and make sure if this happens to you that you let security know. It helps them too.

Stayed the weekend with my inlaws and had a good time. The casino is a bit smokey but the rooms are nice. Well worth the short walk through the casino

We were tired, needed a place to sleep for the night on 20. This place looked clean from the outside. It was just ok. My wife thought the room was crappy, it was smokey. One of those old TV’s…burn hole in a blanket. I went to get a beer, the bartender had no idea what she was doing, it was kind of sad.
I guess this place is 100% Lake County. I seriously doubt if I will ever stop here again.

What a shithole.
Musty. Smells like mold, wet carpet and wet cigarettes. Seats are sticky with petrified soda syrup. bathrooms always taped off and broken. it feels like takin a ride on BART or a MUNI bus thru chinatown, where you’re in there but you know you dont want to touch anything.
Employees are miserable. Security is disgruntled and aggressive. Management is completely clueless. Tribal council is corrupt.
Walkin in this place is like walking into 1989…
.and no not the cool Cameo, Miami Vice, 1989.
.no, no, no. the Bonnie Rait, John Cougar, zztop, redneck, tranz-​am, corvette drivin, mullet in the wind with a bindle of crank, 1989.
.the overall feeling and best way I can think of to describe this place is;
…like when u have a couple Tecates and u swing around on ur stool just to notice everyone is peering around with empty, ghoul like meth faces that are lookin to pick a fight and u get this feeling of having to fight ur way out of this horribly lit dungeon alive… jus to find yourself walkin thru the doors of Running Creek Casino a mile up the road and its a complete 180. Staff are nice, people are winning, very clean environment and 5star (for Lake County) restaurant. Then you sit at their sports bar, have some Belvedere and cranberry and u feel great, hi-​fivin everybody, completely forgetting of dirty olé Robinsons existence.
Robinson Casino and Motel (there is no «resort») .is like a battered pirate ship of meth addicts lost at sea in 1989.

This place is a shit hole did not gamble, but that looks shady as hell. stayed at the hotel that was a nightmare mess. First room had dirty sheets with toilet paper in the bed. Second room the plumbing was backed up. Just shit hole will not be staying here again

Worst customer service anywhere!!! Ripped off my deposit!!! I’ve never been treated so badly in my life!!! So… When checking in I’m greeted with a shitty attitude. Whatever right? So she’s having a bad day. So I give my information and tell the lady my brother and I will be staying the night. She gives us a king bed. Wait, what!?! Yep a king bed!!! Wth!!! So I go down to switch. Same shitty attitude! «Yes!?!» Like a «what the hell do you want now?» Get it switched and go to enjoy a drink at the bar. But several drinks and they’re shutting down for the night. As soon as we step on the floor security guards ask to check my brothers bag «for weapons». Go ahead. Nothing found. Play a couple hundred at the tables and start heading upstairs. I’m walking by the entrance/​exit and security pops out like a ninja…“you can’t take that drink outside!!!” Thanks buddy! Didn’t plan on it. Go upstairs. Security knocks on the door (3 of them). We need a copy of the second guests id. Ooookay you couldn’t phone us? Give them some attitude but comply without making it a problem. Here’s where the complete bs starts. We run out to the truck to grab a phone charger and smokes. Have one at the truck. Walking back up and 4 guards step out and tell us we must leave because we’ve been «smoking marijuana» um… No! Check us! We’ll comply… No need they say you’ve harassed us (we had earlier complained that they were harassing us once they showed up for the id) by flipping the casino off when we walked to the truck. They had followed us out and my brother turned and gave them the gesture of the bird. So at this point we’ve been kicked out for… Not sure! Sounds like harassment. So as we’re being escorted to retrieve our belongings we start poking fun at the chubby, bald, underpaid security guards. Now I’m a very polite individual but if you’re gonna be a dick I’ll point out every flaw I can see in you. So as we’re almost to the car dude yell 415 and I get tackled. Mind you I am only making fun of them. No threats no violence. They call the cops who release me within literally 60 seconds upon arriving. 2weeks later no deposit returned. I’d already chalked up the loss of the room but I called about the deposit and was told «…we smoked and used illegal drugs…» so no return. Both are bullshit and the cops were called and we talked to them and so on so how do they come to this conclusion? Never in my life have I been treated this way!!! My worst stay in any place ever!!!

I stayed in the hotel and hung out in the casino. Prob will never stay here again.
Reasons:
1. Thin walls — loud neighbors
2. Took forever to place a reservation over the phone, including non-​returned phone messages.
3. Told me I could get late checkout at 1pm; then called at 11:30am and said that employee was new and I was going to get charged unless I left by noon.
4. The food is bad — but that’s typical of most casinos.
5. Cigarette smoke pervades into the hotel (and I smoke!)
6. No single deck blackjack — they used to have $ 10min single deck but took it away — cheapskates!
7. No fridge in room
8. Cigarette Monopoly — Only sell one brand of native cigarettes — and they are terrible.
9. No hot tub.
10. There was a little mold formed on the shower curtain.
Only pluses:
1. Free internet
2. Good beer specials

This is an out of place Casino that’s quiet yet pleasant. I came on a night that I was returning from Fort Bragg and this place was quite empty! I never thought I’d see it but it was only about 2 people in different places of the casino playing slots and the majority filled up these two tables playing blackjack. The scenery is nice, security makes sure nobody under 21 enters the premises, and the staff was helpful in pointing out where the location of the restroom and cashier cage is. But it’s not quite a place I can return to.

If you play here, your casino money goes towards a tribal council that just disenrolled elder members, depriving them and their families of their homes, their health insurance, their pensions, and their identity.
There are plenty of other casinos nearby. Go there instead!

Really 3 ½ stars, but for what it is. i’ll round up!
Went camping around Blue Lake, and the sun sets. and there’s nothing to do! After looking on our phones, we find that Robinson Rancheria is within 10 minutes of our campgrounds.
I think i had no expectations but i was pleasantly surprised. For something in the middle of nowhere, it was actually nice. they had a couple tables games open (mainly blackjack and pai gow). single deck blackjack started at $ 10. alot of slot machines and that was about it.
they had a club/​bar called R-​Bar. And although it was full of weird people, it was good times as everybody was in a good vibe and just hanging out and drinking.
the snack area was nothing special. just drunk munchies. but they did have a good tres leches cake for $ 3.
don’t hate it! i had fun!
