This was the first time staying at Gold Dust West, Carson City. I lived for more than 30 years in the area before moving overseas, and remember the hotel/casino complex being built. Later I attended various business meetings, and in 2013 my business had a corporate account we used for out-of-state visitors for several years.
I moved out of the country 8 years ago, and returned to Carson City , staying March 12-13, 2025. Here are my impressions and comments.
The room was excellent, approaching that of 4-Star hotels I have stayed at in various other countries. The room was a standard, with two queen-size beds. The bed and pillows I used were very comfortable. The bathroom was nice, with a huge shower, and a nice mirror with lights on the sides. The room in general was tastefully decorated, very clean, and included a refrigerator, microwave, and coffeemaker. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom. Body wash, shampoo and conditioner was provided in pump bottles. There was an iron and ironing board in the closet. There was also an alarm, and a large flat-screen television. Overall, I was pleased with accommodation.
The food at the restaurant was good American style, with large portions. Breakfast is included with the room. The first morning I had scrambled eggs, bacon, hash brown casserole, and wheat toast. My second morning I had French Toast with bacon. The food was nicely plated, and good, particularly the nicely cooked bacon. But the syrup for the French Toast lacked flavor and sweetness. It's probably some low-cost brand.
Cons:
There was room for 4 people to stay on the two queen beds, but only enough towels for three.
While I didn't have much time to watch the television with the business I was conducting, I found that it was not connected to a signal on the cable. I didn't complain, as I generally don't watch much anyway. I didn't want to be disturbed in by room, so only reported it when checking out.
There was ongoing construction and remodeling, but not too much noise. Actually, there was more noise at night from the intimate activities in the room next door - THIN WALLS.
The best thing:
I want to commend Emilia at the Front Desk for her friendliness and assistance. Really! With her there, I would welcome staying again at some future date. Honestly, it was her that made the stay a basically positive one. read more
