Silver Reef Casino Resort
A very nice hotel atop a casino in remote, northern Washington. Clean, well-appointed rooms. (My only concern would be that the cigarette smoke from casino would get into the room - but no smoke smell in the rooms at all!) Nice country views from windows. Staff was helpful and friendly.
