It was Great
I booked the room before reading the reviews. Upon reading the reviews, I nearly canceled my reservation. Thankfully, I did not! We were in one of the rooms on the ground floor - B building. It had a king-sized bed, was a smoking room and we were allowed to have our dog. I noticed that the room was on the older side, like many people had mentioned. However, it was clean, a good size, and very comfortable. A few minor things needed repair, such as: bathtub caulking - white, but pulling away from wall in places; weatherstripping - needed to be replaced in some places on entry doors; carpet - a few cigarette burns - but that's to be expected in a smoking room; ceiling - there was a small water stain; also, on the front door, you could see where they painted over the old paint, without scraping it. Nothing terrible was wrong. There was nothing that ever made me think I might want to ask for a different room. The front desk staff was friendly, as were the housekeepers that came to our room each day. It was in a great, central location and we had a wonderful time. Now, we weren't in the room all day everyday; we were touring the coast, so we just needed a place to land. Also, we aren't gamblers, so we didn't go to the casino. Neither of us likes seafood (or the smell of it cooking), so we never ate in the grill. I had seen some other places available for the same price, but they didn't have the proximity to the beach as Chinook Winds, and I couldn't bring my dog. Chinook Winds was well worth the price and I would go again, anytime. I am very happy with my decision against canceling the reservation!
