casino at best western kootenai river inn

This the only Restaurant that we eat at when we are in Bonners Ferry. We are there for a Convention.

Had a really fun time here at the casino the Jetsons game was especially good to me. :) Its clean and I like that you can go room to room. Electronic blackjack was fun too!

The amount of smoke in contained fishbowl of casino rooms overwhelming. Even for moderate smoker I would avoid this entire property! Poor ventilation and litter. Non smokers should not venture into casino, and to bring your children to this hotel borders on child abuse. So smokey.

I don't gamble but you can here if you want. Food is good, a little pricey. It overlooks the Kootenai River and has a great view from the dinning area.

Typical smoke-filled Lobby. I think they try to keep the smoke to a minimum but it's still very strong. Restaurant has great food and pleasant, well-dressed waitresses. Some inexpensive updates can make this place even more beautiful. They definitely need to get rid of the dusty, plastic plants in the restaurant.

Nice casino for some quick gambling . Three separate rooms, one non smoking. Deli and free drinks inside. Good choice of machines.

I stayed here for a week while I was working in the area. I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities and service from this hotel since it had gambling. My room had an big flat screen TV and patio that overlooked the Kootenai River. I had the most beautiful morning sunrises to wake up to from my room. The rooms were clean and up to date. All of the workers at the hotel continually asked how I was doing and if I needed anything, which was nice. When I come back to this area, I am definitely staying here again.

There are 3 areas to play. Only one is non smoking. Lots of penny machines & choices. Deli & bar. Happy hour 4-7 with well drinks, beer, wine for $1 (limit of 2 per person, at a time), free coffee at the bar & deli in the morning. Friendly & helpful staff.

I like their menu and when they have special dinners, such as Thanksgiving, they give a choice of menu which is limited, but wonderful. Their chef and staff do great brunches as well

A bit smokey but so much better with payouts compared to our casinos in BC. We won enough to pay for our room plus dinner. Lots of older machines that seemed to be the ones paying out. Always an enjoyable stop for us.

I realize it is called gambling for a reason, and therefore I am not critical how fast the money goes. Some machines seemed to be older generation and they all seemed pretty tight with payouts. It was a nice little diversion for a few minutes, but I think overall it is expensive to play them for extended periods. The smoke is pretty thick in the smoking casinos and not ideal if you are allergic. Just be mindful and perhaps only stay in the non-smoking casino.

Very slot oriented casino. Spent a Saturday night here, it was not overly busy at all which was great. Two different smoking sections, neither of which was overwhelmingly smoky. Service was good, no complaints.
