I always would like to have an early check-in. I had to wait two hours after I showed up at one, but that was OK. The outside of the property needs to be a little freshened up and I know you live in the cold snowy area, but the holes in the parking lot need to be patched. The inside of the room was very nice. I had one of those huge rooms with the king size bed room number 141 and everything was good there.
This poor property has definitely seen better days. It definitely needs a complete overhaul. I guess it was probably clean enough, but because it's so old, it just appears dirty. The bed was so old and uncomfortable, the air conditioning either froze us out or didn't work. The bathroom...ugh. Re-do the bathrooms. The staff was absolutely lovely, though, so that was very nice.

Gold Country used to be my #1 choice when staying in Elko, but the property seems to be running down. Ceilings are falling in, carpets badly stained, wallpaper peeling, light fixtures damaged and the parking lot is full of holes. Staff attempted to charge "fees" when I had prepaid online and it said my price included the fees.

Booked property for the use of pool. Pool was not available but front desk was kind enough to make accommodation next door for pool use.Room was clean. Wooden Headboard was broken and refrigerated was broken and had a foul smell.
It is an older property. Casino was small with only video gambling. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were dated but they were big, clean and comfortable.
Looks nothing like the pictures. If this had not been a one night thru stop on a road trip, I would have definitely asked for my money back and changed hotels. The check-in person was lovely but needed humor to explain the giant potholes to avoid and other obvious issues. I had to use Clorox wipes I had in my bag to clean the toilet as it had feces on the seat. Rooms were completely dates and reached of deodorizing spray covering other odors. And early this morning, there were 4 police cars apprehending someone in the parking lot.
Rooms were quite large. Had all necessaties Offered smoking rooms which was quite nice, short walk to small but entertaining casino. Close proximity to I80.

I have never had such a terrible meal in my life! My had chicken fried steak and was up all night, I had Mexican out of a can!
Some of the finest front desk staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Lisa did an amazing job. The place itself is on the older side, but really is immaculately cleaned. Would recommend a stay on that alone. The place can get a little noisy when the miners fire up their 2500’s and head in to work early in the AM, but that’s to be expected in a mining town.
