It was great. The front desk was helpful when I had a small medical issue. The parking was very open. You didn’t have to park in the parking garage. The room was big new and clean.

Stayed with my best friend for our 20 year High School reunion Sept 25’! Growing up in Tahoe, we have had family members work here and we have seen this property change hands many times! You can still see that they are transitioning from Hard Rock to Golden Nugget, but our stay was great! We had a gorgeous view, comfortable amenities and close proximity to downtown and not far from so many beautiful beaches! Great location!

Perfect spot for a quick getaway
Golden Nugget is in a great location - it was an easy walk to the concert event we were in town to attend. Room was big, clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was responsive and helpful. Parking was easy. Our lunch at Saltgrass Steak House was delicious in a wonderful atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back.

Great service, room in disrepair
Check in and all staff, including cafe and restaurant, were great. Room had broken plumbing, broken furniture, broken towel bar. It's clear they're trying to remodel, we enjoyed our stay regardless.

Amazing view rooms
Hotel room was amazing. Had a lake view. The restaurants were good for dinner, but could not find any restaurant or café for breakfast, but other than that everything was to our satisfaction.

This place was such a run down old dirty nugget. Beds were worn down, guessing they been around since the turn of the century. Construction everywhere, internet didn't work. Their damn alarm clock would go off at 6am everyday with no way to shut it off. Then their fire alarms went off at like 8am. Place was a dumpy mess that stinks like cigarettes and shame.
