The short version

What visitors say about Gold Country Inn and Casino

Staff are the best thing about Gold Country Inn. Even guests who had rough rooms praise the front desk, bar and restaurant crews, and one describes an employee who searched for a small keepsake left behind and got it back to them. The restaurant does better than the hotel around it, with good burgers and pancakes and a clean dining room, although one visitor expecting a steakhouse found a single steak on the menu.

The building is the problem. Once a Red Lion, it now shows its age: dated furniture, a rough parking lot, ice machines that don't work, key cards and door locks that fail, and TVs stuck on one channel. Pet rooms draw the worst reports. Some guests still found the beds comfortable and the rooms quiet. The few who mention the casino found it gloomy, and one felt the slots were very tight.

    We had the most fantastic experience at this hotel! This day was great. We came in a little bit late and left early in the morning, but there were literally no issues. We had a fairly priced room that was big, it was clean, and even had a refrigerator and a microwave. Nothing to complain about, but that's not the best…

    The door readers are older which means the keys are easy to de-magnetize very easily. Mine did while letting my dogs out to use the restroom and it took much longer than normal to get my key remade. I think this was a “trainable” moment and

    Showers spray water everywhere and are very difficult to get to a good temperature. Place is quite run down. Casino is more depressing than anything else. Ice machines didn't work

    The room was clean enough and the service was great. Hard to recommend for the cost though.

    I would recommend the restaurant but absolutely cannot recommend the hotel. The hotel is very run down and not all things in the room work. It is almost like they are letting it get rundown prior to demolishing it. What a shame, it used to
