Twin Pine Casino & Hotel — Hotel in Cobb

Way better than graton even.though its just a fraction of the size. Haven't been to river rock in so many years I can't remember what its like. But I've lost probably at least 1000 times more at graton in one trip than I've ever lost at twin pines...a cumulative even. Plus, gratin never gives hardly any free play or any other perks (other than occasional 50% off their totally unaffordable restaurant) no matter how much I'm throwing away there. When u put tens of thousands through their machines in a single year (or less, actually), one would think there would be some sort of perks offered as incentive to at least keep losing lifetimes of money there. Not even so much as a upgrade in my rewards card (which actually should have been about at the top level just from the points earned in one month a few years back). But, nope, still the plain old everybody card with no free play most of the time, no dining credit, no nothing. Once or twice a year I get $5 at a time of free play, but usually when I go in to use it there's nothing on my card and no one knows anything (mailer stating amounts in hand, mind u.) Twin pines, however, has ALWAYS been good to me in regards to free play, rooms they comp regularly (which I can never afford the deposit for, but still...), etc. Plus, I can almost always walk in there with just my dollar to activate my current free play and still mamage to play for hours, sometimes much longer. I generally walk out empty handed, but thats my own stupidity. They at least allow for the opportunity to enjoy ur time there and play for a bit. Graton, I pretty much walk through the door and right back out, regardless of how much cash I bring. Twin pines has been very kind and helpful when ive had any issues arrise. They r quick to handle it in a professional manner that doesnt make U feel like a criminal for something like a malfunction or other such things, none of which r the guests fault. Gratin tends to make u feel like ur doing something shady just by being there. Its uncomfortable. Twin pines has, many times, gone above and beyond in so many ways, just to resolve any issues and keep the guest happy and comfortable. They have even given me extra free play when I misunderstood and didnt use a bonus free play in the correct time. It was less than an hour expired, but they were more than happy to reissue the full amount for me, no hassle or bother at all. Ive also received multiple free play amounts in a single day on occasion. The people r friendly, introduce themselves by name when dealing with something one on one, much more personable than most places (they tend to recognize regulars and acknowledge them accordingly), and even at the most hectic, trying, busy, crazy times (like being an evac center for the recent fires, with red cross, military, and many other volunteers, families, etc, filling the place inside and out), the employees generally greet u with a pleasant smile each and every time they walk past u (which is a lot as they make their rounds over and over.) So, yes, twin pines is a great place to go enjoy throwing a little hard earned money away...or winning money for those unpaid bills and gas to get home. Lol. I guess about the only thing I could say against twin pines is that they r not animal friendly, as in, they do not allow animals of any kind inside the building at all. From what I hear, graton does allow dogs on leashes inside, on the casino floor. But I have get to try to bring my dog there and doubt...

Our recent stay at Twin Pines Casino & Hotel left us with mixed impressions. On the surface, it carries a five-star price tag, but the accommodations felt more in line with a three-star experience.

Check-In & Staff The highlight of our stay began right at check-in. We were greeted by a smiling face, and the warm, friendly conversation immediately set a positive tone. Throughout our visit, the staff—especially housekeeping—remained a strong point. They were approachable, helpful, and quick to take care of any requests we had.

Room & Accommodations Unfortunately, the room itself was underwhelming. While clean, the furnishings and décor clearly need attention. Multiple tears in the wallpaper and an overall “tired” look left the space feeling dated and not reflective of the rates being charged. It’s not that the room was unlivable, but it certainly lacked the polish and freshness one would expect for the price.

Dining The single on-site restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was very good, portions generous, and pricing quite fair compared to typical hotel dining. In fact, dining here was one of the high points of the stay.

Casino & Activities As someone who isn’t a big gambler, I’d describe my casino impressions as neutral. My wife was disappointed that roulette wasn’t offered, as that’s her game of choice. More significantly, if you’re not into gambling, there is almost nothing else to do on the property. With the hotel located essentially in the middle of nowhere, the lack of alternative activities or entertainment becomes very noticeable. Even a few additional amenities—such as a spa, fitness center, or planned activities—would go a long way.

Value & Overall Impression The biggest drawback is value for money. We were required to book a three-night stay at what was advertised as a special wedding guest rate, yet even this “deal” felt far too high for what was actually provided. It’s hard to shake the impression that Twin Pines relies on being the “only game in town” to justify their pricing.

Final Thoughts While we appreciated the excellent staff service and enjoyed the restaurant, the accommodations simply didn’t live up to expectations. For the rates charged, guests should receive rooms and amenities that feel modern, comfortable, and well cared for. Unless you are primarily visiting for the casino, you may find yourself disappointed by the lack of value and limited options for...

Well this was my second trip to the Twin pines casino & hotel, and once again had a better time than last visit even though last was a good visit this last visit was much better due to the fact that besides doing well at the slots , i also enjoyed a wonderful meal , I got it to go but should've stayed to enjoy it because the Togo was a sloppy mess , the vegetables were all ran into the mashed potatoes which after I got through picking out the god awful califlower from it, the potatoes were some of the best the CFS I got was big as Texas and great , thank goodness I got the gravy on the side because it was so salty and spicy that it rated up there with some ghost pepper spicy level!!! but everything else was good , the cage ladies (Cashiers)were very sweet and helpful and the welcome crew ladies were more so above helpful, I guess they could tell I was lost because it was extremely so dark that I felt like I needed a walking stick to help me from running into something , now it's not because it wasn't spacious because it was , but even though there are tons of slots around all lite up it was so dark still I wanted to grab my phone for a flashlight so I could see where I was going ,but the employee's were helpful enough. At least they didn't make you feel like you were bothering them by asking them where things were because you couldn't tell where a bar wàs or the restaurant was or anything you just have to walk around and hope for the best ,but all in all it was a great fun trip , it's a big little place hidden away and it was a good drive getting there beautiful scenery just if you go on Sunday please get there early because I got there around one pm and I had to park in the back forty I thought this place is going to be crowded but wasn't at all its just right size I liked it so if your wanting to try a new place try twin pines casinos I pretty sure you'll be surprised at how well you enjoy it ! As always thanks for reading and good luck...
