As it is a resort, it offers many paths to enjoyment during your stay. There is nothing that comes close to this level of investment in a luxury resort so near the City North of the Golden Gate. We are about a 25 minute drive South on HWY 101 and it is very convenient for us to visit such a well maintained and appointed North SF Bay casino. My wife and I have had three recent occasions to stay at the Graton Resort (December, January and February).
