| Hotel is undergoing renovation that has the entre area torn up. It was difficult to locate the parking lot which is not accessed from Ogden street. When I did find it, it was rather small and tight. Don't forget to ask the clerk at check-in for a pass to put in the windshield or it may get towed. No ice machines, you must go to the bar to get ice and then they used a plastic grocery bag (used) to line the bucket. In the early morning, bar was closed and I had to track someone down who had a key to get a refill. The electricity went out 4 or 5 times the night I stayed, once while I was in the elevator, but it was restored within less than a minute. Due to construction, water was scheduled to be off from 11PM to 6AM, this was a one-time event, however. The free dinner offer in December amounted to their standard $4.99 Prime Rib special, which was passable but more like Standard Rib rather than Select, Choice or Prime. Plenty to eat, though, with a baked potato and corn. I must have had one of the renovated rooms as it was a comfortable King with a shower, not a bath. No complaints about the room but I had a smoking for my cigar; don't know about the non-smoking rooms. All the staff was great. Clerk at check-in helped me resolve issues with the free dinner and the parking. The morning ice issue was handled with friendly and accommodating service. I was greeted by staff at every turn and enjoyed some time in the casino and at the bar. The Hotels.com web site said I would be charged a resort fee, but no mention of it was made at check-in and they did not even swipe my credit card. I was only traveling through, so I was satisfied with a very inexpensive rate that likely won't last after renovations are complete. |

| The rooms and casino are OK as long as you understand you are not at a "resort", but are after a cheap place to sleep. The price is excellent.
My only serious complaint is that parking is completely inadequate. There simply is not enough parking spaces.
I would not stay here again unless I was traveling without a car. |

| The Gold Spike is undergoing renovation and is being seriously upgraded. Service levels and comfort levels have increased markedly since my last stay here 4 years ago.
Upside - The casino and lobby have been completely renovated and are bright and well lit. The staff are now very helpful and responsive.
The renovated rooms have modern furnishings and the bath rooms have new fixtures.
Downside - Parking lot is inadequate for hotel guests. While renovation is going on elevator service is slow.
Surprises - Surrounding neighborhood not nearly as run down as I recall from previous visit. |

| With the price of this hotel we were able to do alot more while we were in Vegas than if we payed more to be on the Strip. The drive was pretty inconvenient to get downtown but in some ways worth it.
The room we stayed in was brand new, much nicer than we expected. It was not the Bellagio by any means but for the price it was quite literally fantastic. |

| The Gold Spike is currently undergoing rennovations (November 2009). Not sure when rennovations are to be completed. The room was satisfactory and the price was right. It's very convenient to the Freemont Street Experience and accessible to major highways. |

| I would probably stay there again if I was going to stay downtown, only if it was the absolute cheapest hotel in vegas. The one bright spot was the $5.99 prime rib dinner in the cafe. It was one of the biggest pieces of meat I have ever had. Served with baked potato and corn and was delicious. Downtown Vegas just has to many unsavory charactors hanging around. |

| Remodeling was in proces , but presented little inconvience . This is the lowest priced hotel in Downtown and maybe all of Vegas yet the accomadations were comfortable and in the 2 to 2 1/2 star range .
Freemont Street is a block or two so you can get the whole Downtown Experience without being stuck in one big mega casino and without risking traffic tickets renting cars , etc. |
