Casino Adventures

It's Tuesday and I'm just about recovered from my wonderful weekend. Michael and I took a post-July 4th trip to the Quinault Casino Beach Resort in Ocean Shores, which was a memorable trip as always.

The Good

• The weather was wonderful - not too hot or too cold;
• Lunch at Alex's Restaurant in Ocean Shores - best clam strips ever!!
• Our suite at the hotel was perfect - lovely elevated bedroom setting, beach view, and even a Keurig;
• The slot machines....for Michael;
• Running into my friend Shelly, who happened to be camping at Ocean Shores - was awesome catching up with her;
• My spa massage and facial on Saturday.....awww....relaxing and just what the doctor ordered;
• Free lemonade in the casino;
• Sleeping in;
• Our free lunch on Sunday...but more on that below.

The Bad

• The lack of great customer service from the staff, especially the front desk.  A smile and a good morning goes a long way people;
• The slot machines...for Diva;
• The unending search for tourist shop in Ocean Shores which wasn't an art gallery or fusion glass boutique;
• The slow service in the bar area, where we ate (or tried to) Saturday night and Sunday morning.

The Ugly

• Receiving such poor service in the bar dining area Sunday morning that we left our food on the table and reported the situation to the general manager, who gave us a free lunch in the restaurant.

As you can see, the good far outweighed the bad.  I'm looking forward to our next adventure!!
