Golden Nugget

I don't usually stay here but met with a friend. I'm almost always able to do an early check in , but no luck there. There's a nice set up with several dining areas, shops and an outdoor pool/ patio. The DJ was the best on the pool deck. Waitress walked off with my credit card and I couldn't find her for over an hour. No one was interested in helping me either. I don't gamble, so I can only say the casino is the usual fare. There is also a very cozy restaurant on the dock with a bar a live band. I enjoyed listening to oldies and taking in the beautiful view of the yachts in the harbor. I still prefer going on the main strip in AC. But this was a nice getaway.

A Pleasant Stay with a Few Minor Drawbacks Overall, I had a very good experience at the Golden Nugget. The hotel is clean, well-maintained. One major plus is the free parking, which adds a lot of convenience. The location feels a bit removed but it’s in a beautiful area with great views of the marina. The H2O pool area is a standout feature stylish, secure, and relaxing. I appreciated the security presence. However, one downside was the poolside service. During both days of my stay, the roaming waitresses didn’t approach everyone equally. I ended up having to walk to the bar to order my own drinks, which wasn’t ideal. There was also marijuana smoking at the pool, which staff didn’t address.The pool bar bartender on Sunday (8/3) was very sweet and attentive . The one on Saturday (8/2), however, was not as engaged. Happy Hour is available at a couple of the restaurants (not the pool). I loved The Deck for its casual vibe, live music, and marina view the food is basic but fine for the price. CHART House was excellent: great food, service, and ambiance. Lillie’s Asian Cuisine was okay but nothing special.My room was clean, though it had a slight dusty smell. The view I paid for was technically a bay view, but it also faced the parking garage. The front desk manager was not very friendly about it when I asked . However, most of the of the other staff especially housekeeping and restaurant servers were welcoming and attentive.The casino is very nice and I would like to return.

Currently here at Golden Nugget. First time. It’s much quieter then other casinos, but that is what we wanted. The location is what it is… I knew we were away from everything. Depends what you are looking for with location. Food is excellent. All employees are very nice and polite. Not a lot of variety as far as entertainment and food but all is really good. We upgraded to a premier room. And that’s where I get discouraged. Brand new room. The bathroom barn style door doesn’t not close cause it ends up hitting the floor being it’s uneven. If you pull it like you’re trying to rip it off it will slide close, but not without you thinking it’s going to break. The best part is the barn style shower doors that don’t close, well they close and then roll open. You can see they don’t line up flush with the wall and is uneven causing it to roll. Get extra wash clothes so you can jam behind the door to keep it from sliding. For a millions of dollars to be spent on upgrade and work like this… I would be embarrassed. If this one room has these issues… how many others do. The rest of the place is your typical casino deco, smell (light smoke), lights and music.
