We arrived at Gold Spike early evening and check in was very quick and very helpful. We were given a pool room which was on the ground floor. The room was clean and newly refurbished, although it was missing a table to eat at (maybe the mess on the bed from the Chinese we made may have been a hint to them). Also, there were only blinds to shut out the light so was quite bright in the mornings.

The rest of the room was fine, the room was cleaned daily and didn't have any other problems (well, maybe one... No haurdryer so had to dry my hair on the heater!! Lol).

There is no ice machine for guest use so you have to go to the bar to get some.... Little warning, they make you feel a nuisance asking. They need more customer service in that department.

The annoying part of Gold Spike was when playing the machines.. They don't pay out when you want to take your money. This is where you have to wait for someone to come over to you to give it to you in cash. Very annoying. We only gambled here a few times (very quiet).

The location of the hotel is really close to Fremont and never once felt uncomfortable walking there and back.

If you're looking for a good nosebag, the Chinese/Thai restaurant about 2 minute walk away is really tasty, good value and good size portions.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and is excellent value for money, even if you don't gamble there! (we gambled at Queens) :)

the location was the best part of staying here, we walked one block to fremont street. the rooms were clean, we had some issues with the housekeeping but you get what you pay for the casino is empty because an attendant has to pay you out after every machine, seems silly , food was great there.

This place is the champagne of beers, fizzy but not too sweet. Your $8 resort fee gets you wifi and pool access, with a few decent coupons if you are lucky. The renovated rooms are a lucky shade of green with a nifty flatscreen, well worth $20 or so depending on the day. It's just one or two blocks to the main action of Fremont on a scruffy walk without any real danger. The rooms are very adequate, though not at all delux. Expect newer beds, decent A/C, a reworked bath, and Ikea like furnishings. The hallways and elevator are totally lowroller. The cafe offers a decent meal, so pluck out the coupon and enjoy. I like the tiny, but updated casino, cute. The bar is where the real action is for lowrollers looking for the highlife. Quirky but fun overall with a hidden oasis style pool. Well played GS.

Stayed here 3 times in our USA roadtrip and it was always very pleasant experience. The rooms although basic are really modern,clean and recently renovated. The 2nd time we stayed we were upgraded (for a small fee) to a suite which was massive and the balcony was huge too. Although the area nearby is a little 'shady' it really shouldnt put anyone off and for the reviews about limited parking, there is FREE undercover parking 2 blocks away... This place has a small gaming floor which smells clean (althought smoking is allowed) and is a minute walk to Fremont. Our last night was booked throught tripres.com and cost $12 (excluding resort fee of $8 inc wi fi which works!!!!) Would definately stay here again.
