“A weekend getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

Never heard of this place until I went to a Clipper game and saw them as a sponsor. Absolutely beautiful drive along the coast. The rooms were very nice and from what I heard, renovated. The restaurant, Willow, was by far one of my favorites. Great service, great food, and nice ambience. Although the clientele has a local flare, everyone seemed really nice. The only bad thing is the casino doesn't have a good ventilation system so it's really smokey on busy nights.

“Best room in area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

I am a complete hotel snob, and usually stay at Bacara or Four Seasons in Santa Barbara, but got tired of shlepping to Buellton from SB. I just stayed at the Chumash since they had recently remodeled their rooms. Room was very nice, clean and updated. By far the best room in the area. Nino, the manager was very helpful and I would totally recommend this place.

“Good place to go!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013 via mobile

Great service from the Valet all the way to the buffet. Great variety of food. The casino is kind of small but overall it was fun. Very helpful and friendly staff. I will most definitely be returning to Chumash Casino!!!

“The better side of the bad reviews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

I grant you the casino is small, and only one time we had a problem with getting a machine(it was a holiday), but as for all those complaints "Las Vegas I have been there many times and each time I say I will never go back there. The casinos are so loud, the streets are crouded and the traffic is impossible. You take your life in your hands driving. I have been to several casinos down in San Diego way and in CT., and my sister, brother and I all agree that Chumash is by far the best. As for the beverage carts, they are never rude and you do not have to hunt them down. The cafe and buffet are great the food is good and my sister says it is the only place to get a good cup of tea. My family always feels happy to return to Chumash after we have been to those other casinos.
