Chicken Ranch Casino Resort

What guests think

Chicken Ranch Casino Resort draws praise for its new, modern design, spacious rooms with balconies and views, a smoke‑free casino, and friendly staff, with travellers also liking the rooftop pool, valet parking, and convenient base for visiting Sonora and Yosemite.

A recurring downside is loud weekend poolside nightclub music that can carry until 2 a.m., plus hallway noise in some rooms. Dining gets mixed feedback: several restaurants are tasty, but options and late-night choices are limited and service can be slow or understaffed. In-room amenities impress overall, though travellers note missing microwaves or bedside outlets, occasional maintenance or supply gaps, and rare but frustrating cleanliness misses. Expect a polished, lively, smoke‑free resort stay with strong rooms and amenities, best if nightlife noise won’t bother you.

Reasonable cost, beautiful king rooms, next time I definitely would book a balcony room, 209 restaurant has many food options, dipping pool was great . Bar on pool area convenient with drink and food options, staff came out to check if we needed anything. Also the old Casino is still open for Gambling and Bingo Hall. Shuttle can take you. Definitely will be staying again.

We have been visiting the casino for about 4 years and watched as the resort was being built. We have stayed here twice now after completion of the hotel. The rooms are very nice and clean and every room has some sort of a view which can be very mesmerizing. They just opened the dipping pool and though we didn’t go in we had to check it out. Very nice with an outside bar and very clean. There is also a new workout room with an ample amount of different machines, weights, yoga balls and mats. We always have a great time in the casino and payout was decent. The only thing that was a very slight disappointing was we went to the bar to have one shot around 1am before going back to our room, waited 5 minutes for someone to help us, then were told he didn’t realize what time it was and he couldn’t serve anymore alcohol. I completely understand the rules but they should have something posted for when they stop serving and we should have been noticed that we needed help quicker since there were at least 3 people working behind the bar. Everyone was very kind though. Overall we love the Chicken Ranch and will definitely stay again.

Overall, the Casino, room, bed, restaurants were all great, I must give a big thumbs up to all of the staff. They were very friendly, helpful and pleasant to interact with. Another big plus is that the Casino is non-smoking. Thank You! The only negative from my experience was that the Nightclub music kept me awake until 2 A.M.

I had a really late check in and was looking forward to getting to my destination and getting some rest. Because I don’t trust that house keeping does a thorough job, I always carry Clorox or Lysol wipes and give the room a wipe down. Like remote, doorknobs, toilet. Well, to my surprise, there were 3, not 1, but 3 bloody female pads behind the toilet. So I freaked. I called the front desk to have this taken care of and bring all new bedding and have my bed made. I was disgusted and very disappointed. It’s a fairly new place, but the flow is horrible. For example, they don’t have enough trash cans, not even by the elevator, so on weekends when the club is open, there’s trash everywhere ( mostly empty beer bottles and cocktail cups just set around. I t makes the place feel and look dirty. Will not be staying at this hotel EVER again.

While I enjoyed my stay overall, I wanted to mention a few things that could improve the experience for future guests: 1. The shampoo and body wash containers in the shower were nearly empty. I only had a tiny bit of bath gel left, and nothing was coming out. This could be better attended to by the service staff. 2. There was a noticeable layer of dust on the bed lamps. Quite surprising, to be honest. 3. The plants on the balcony were artificial. Why opt for plastic when real plants could be used instead? 4. A few cars in the parking lot next to my room were blasting loud music, which caused the entire room to vibrate. It was a bit disruptive.

It's a beautiful casino and plenty of food options. The room was nice and spacious. I loved the robe! The water is an issue. It smells like mold and the smell stays on you after you shower. It doesn't make brushing your teeth easy. I'd say the biggest complaint was the party at the pool they do every Friday and Saturday night until 2am during the summer. It gets really loud and the sound carries.

No fridge or microwave just an fyi. I would definitely love to stay again.

The valet staff were kind and efficient, but the hotel is having real problems with their housekeeping and restaurant staff. We had to wait for 2 hours before being able to occupy our room. Later we tried to get a table on a Sunday afternoon at their all day dining restaurant and were told that - even though the restaurant was half empty we still would have a 25-30 minute wait for a table because they were understaffed.

The staff at this resort was not helpful. We arrived early with the reservation and checked in; however, our room was not ready until 4 pm which was fine. The front desk got my number telling me that they will call me once my room was ready. It was past 4 and I found that the room had been ready, but no one cares enough to call. I ended up having to get in a long line again for check in. The staff never apologized to me for not informing me of my room. She was very rude and unhelpful. I wished that I had remembered her name so I can complain to the manager.

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.

Given limited food options around property, guests have no other options and stuck here .
