Highly recommend! Book it now. Very clean, well maintained, safe, quiet, comfortable, great pool and hot tub. Beds were super comfortable, walk in shower was state of the art and amazing. Balcony overlooking a view of ocean across the 101. We ate in the adjoining restaurant several times when we were too tired to go explore other spots nearby, which was very affordable and convenient. Everyone was polite and helpful. We didnt use the casino because we were out exploring the Redwoods and ocean hikes. I would stay here again for sure. Only one change I would suggest is to alter the restroom near the pool so you can use your room key for it rather than ask front desk for a key. There is a gas station and convenience store with coffee shop adjacent which was also awesome. Later in our trip we stayed somewhere else on a road trip to Portland at a big name chain hotel and it did not measure - the Lucky 7 had spoiled us! :)

This is an Native American Casino, most of the surrounding area is owned by I assume the same tribe. The casino itself is across the street from the ocean. We wanted to just drive across the street to go see the ocean but there was no where to pack an when we asked a person at the property there with a parking lot we were told it was private property and we could not park there. While the casino may not have any direct control in this matter we did not feel very welcome none the less. Also i had stayed here a couple times two years ago for work and the place had changed. The employees were not happy to be there and the restaurant was not as good. Not sure what has changed but more than likely management related.
