Guest Reviews
- MARY BETH (8/5): Nice place to stay, staff could be more friendly. - It’s a great property, convenient restaurants. Staff couldn’t find my reservation when I first checked in. I stay there every year in May. They kept insisting I had just checked out but they were looking at last year’s stay.
- David (10/5): -
- Smith (3/5): I was charged for items I didn’t purchase at the bar also the front desk over charged my card and I’m getting no help fr - The pool The staff and the manager Tim

- Jack (10/5): Short but great stay. Will plan to come again. - The staff members were great. Very helpful. Very friendly. The young lady that helped me at breakfast was fantastic! Liked the crowd and the energy of all the people.
- Isaiah (10/5): -
- Tuesday (10/5): Would love to go back for a personal stay. - Bed and pillows were very comfortable and the restaurants (Lillies and Saltgrass were both Phenomenal).
- David (10/5): -
- Yurisleydis (10/5): -
- sharon (10/5): Great venue that offers quality rooms and lots of recreation and food options - Venue and room quality free valet parking and concierge very helpful. Long line at check in. There were 50 plus people ahead of us but the line did move quickly.
- selena (9/5): Overall it was nice. - The restaurant were good The bathroom was dirty, the towels had hair stuck in them. Tub was dirty. Wish the pool closed later
- Crystal (10/5): I always enjoy staying at the Golden Nugget! - It’s always nice and clean, the staff are great! The staff in the casino area, only offer certain people drinks. Which is very rude, in my opinion.
- Joel (1/5): - Room was not as clean as expected.
- Laclasha (9/5): Would definitely return! - I liked that everything that you could want was in one place...Starbucks, Icecream, a pool....all there! I did not like my mattress :/ that's it.

- Linda (8/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Golden nugget birthday trip - Pools, valet, and casino was nice Room wasn't very clean
- Gregory (10/5): - The bed was very comfortable
The view was very nice It didn't have a refrigerator
- Jonna (9/5): Pricey but great! - The resort was clean and felt very safe. The room was large, the decor was fresh, and the bed was comfortable. My adult travelers loved the pool/lazy river! (Everything is a little easier without kiddos.) Most importantly, staying at the casino provides the option to indulge in all the adult fun offered at the resort without having to drive to a separate hotel. The drinks at the bar across from the hotel registration desk were amazing! Everything was a bit pricey in the resort, and I mean everything. The pool hours were a bit short, but they did not lock you out of the pool area. However, we stayed on a Thursday, so the weekend could be different. Also, the staff was wonderful - hotel and casino. Southern charm and hospitality was definitely on display and working in everyone's favor.
- jean christophe (10/5): Super étape - Bel hôtel casino top Restaurants fermant un peu tot
- Humphrey (6/5): - Food choices Pillows too small and soft. Mattress very uncomfortable

- sandra (5/5): - Chambre Piscine
- Irving (9/5): - The only problem is when there was cleaning the building with a pressure washer and me and my wife was walking
They doused us with chlorinated water, and we lost our clothes; when we spoke to the staff, they refused to take responsibility.
- Lafleur (5/5): -
- Mirna (10/5): -
- Jesse (3/5): - Pool stayed open late We arrived at 4:30pm. It clearly says on their website check-in is at 4. Our room wasn't ready. They said maybe not till 8pm. We decided to go back to the bell service to change to go to the pool. They didn't let us in the pool without a room #. So we went back to the front desk, they downgraded our room. Supposedly they gave us a $50 credit. We went back to the pool, now they didn't let us in without an id. So we had to go back to bell service to get our id. In between of all this running around, I lost a pair of $600 Gucci sunglasses. Then we finally got into the pool, went to buy a drink. They didn't take tap. They need the actual card. Smh!!! So we didn't drink. Then we went to Cadillac Bar for dinner. Worst food I've ever eaten. No flavor and cold. The service was good tho. Tried to use my $50 credit. I was supposed to pay only $8.18 with a $10 tip. They charged my card 3 times. This was on Friday 4/3. Still trying to get my refund back almost a week later. Never staying at the Golden Nugget ever again.

- dlean2024 (10/5): Golden Nugget Restaurants amazing - We love staying at the Nugget in Lake Charles. The service there is great as is the food.
This time we ate at Lillies for the first time. We ordered the firecracker shrimp from the small plates menu and it was anything but small. A very generous and delicious plate of at least 20 or so shrimp was served.
We had also ordered the chicken and vegetables fried rice which was also plenty and delicious.
Our server Alexis did a great job getting our special order just right and then helped us pack up the leftovers.
Our experience at Bobs Burgers was also great. Piper was our server and she and her manager were right on top of things. And the sliders were perfectly cooked and delicious!
Thank you Nugget!

- 703andyo (4/5): Mr. Fertitta Would Not Be Pleased - The whole place is in need of a serious cleaning. The mirrors in the Claim Jumper restaurant were filthy, and the reflections made everything else seem unclean. We were excited to be upgraded to a Penthouse room, until we found that there was very little hot water in the shower, and with a big tub in the middle of the room, the shower seemed smaller than a regular room. Also, on a 2-night stay, no maid service, so no replenishing of the bottled water. While not a big deal, it is not what you would expect for a Penthouse room. With only the two steakhouses open on a weeknight, we did have an excellent meal out at Pat's of Henderson.
On a positive note, the staff at GNLC are always excellent.
- Jasmine (10/5): -
- Becky Jane (10/5): -
- DonnaStansburyY (10/5): Highly Recommend - This hotel is top notch. The golf course was fantastic. Lots of wildlife, watch out for the alligators. The don't bother you and are very cool to see. We enjoyed our stay and have been several times. I plan on taking my Grandkids there for a short stay to play in the amazing pool.
We left several items in the room and the lost and found staff at the hotel were very helpful. They went to the room, found our items and held them until we could pick them up, but they also offered to mail them to us. They were so very nice and checked with me for an exact pick-up date and the items were at the front desk as promised. After I picked up the items, they followed up with me to ensure I got everything that I was looking for. PERFECTION !
Highly recommend this place for a cool vacation. We will be going back.

- Martha (10/5): Will probably be back again - Very nice clean, friendly staff The pillows in room were to soft. Keep sinking into them. Had to fold in half but still uncomfortable
- Valda (9/5): -
- Juan (8/5): Probably won’t go back. - Property was great. The atmosphere was great. Loved the king size bed. Took lots of naps. The check in process didn’t go well. Front desk lady had an attitude. Tried showing my booking.com confirmation number. She ignored me. She just kept repeating “Room is not paid for”. She said a manger would have to help but refused to call one. We waited over an hour til one showed up.
- Nahman (10/5): -

- williamcT248EG (10/5): Great Service - While packing to leave I overlooked my Lenovo tablet and left it in my room. I discovered the mistake when I got home and unpacked. I contacted the Golden Nugget and the friendly staff could not have been nicer or more responsive. I followed their instructions and my tablet was returned to me by FedEx. Thank you Golden Nugget for your efforts, concern and care!
- Cevonn (9/5): - The property was beautiful and very clean. The rooms were comfortable. Huge spider webs on balcony rails. Temporary ID wasn’t enough to enter gambling floor even though it has picture and is state issued.
- Chantel (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Hunter (10/5): -
- latonyas334 (10/5): An awesome experience - My recent stay at this hotel was wonderful, but what truly set them apart was their exceptional customer service after my departure. I accidentally left behind a very sentimental item, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure it was safely returned to me.
A very special thank you to Essie Chambers in Housekeeping for her kindness, diligence, and care. She treated my situation with compassion and urgency, and her efforts meant more to me than words can express. It’s rare to encounter someone who takes such personal pride in helping guests, and she is a true asset to the hotel.
- Z4588LIjamied (2/5): Worst Experience Ever - Horrible experience with staff - we were on 15th floor and the fire alarm went off instructing us to use the stairwell. My 83 yo father walked down 15 flights of stairs. When he got to the bottom, he tripped and fell causing him to scrape and bruise his face up. Turns out the fire alarm was a false alarm, however there was NO hotel personnel anywhere to be found to help with my dad. When he finally was able to get off the floor, we went to the front desk and no one was there, music was playing on speakers, as if no one even knew the alarm went off. We got back to room to put ice and called the front desk 3 times and no one answered. My mom finally was able to go down and talk to the front desk. She filled out an incident report, sent an escalated email to Risk Management and it has now been 72 hours with ZERO response. Unbelievable that a hotel of this size would ignore something so serious. What were the fire alarm protocols for guests? Why was no one around to tell guests it was false? Why hasn’t anyone followed up with our report? You should be ashamed of your staff for ignoring this.
update on 2/10/26 - it has now officially been 5 days since this happened and after multiple attempts to contact someone at the hotel, this review, etc., we still have NOT heard ANYTHING back. each time we call/email the hotel, it is ignored. my mom has spoken with Shay at the front desk and emailed her and she continues to say she is in touch with Risk Management. NOTHING back.
update on 2/25/26 - going on week 3 and i would suggest no one ever stay at this hotel regardless of your situation. they have no idea how to treat customers and communicate when an issue arises. we have had to reach out to them for a status on multiple occasions. the last one we received they offered a one night complimentary stay in hopes we would go away.....i'd be embarrassed if i were in management at the golden nugget with how this has been handled.
- Tauzin (7/5): Overall I still will go back at a much later time. - Had trouble checking in with my drivers license, front desk employee didn't not see my name as reserved a room.
The reason given I don't believe to be true. The manger had to clear my reservation with my email code given by booking. Com. The bed was worn down, sunken in.
The elevator had issues with registered floor pressed
Vending machine on 20 doesn't work.
- Kerri (10/5): Planning a trip back - Everything
- Randy (10/5): -
- Hassell (10/5): -
- Kelly (9/5): It was nice - Convenient Expensive
- Norma (10/5): -
- mcilia1 (2/5): Not worth the cost - go to L’Auberge instead - If you look online there is an all day room service menu, but if you call there is no one that answers and you get sent to full voice mail boxes. No refrigerator in room. Cost of rooms is not worth the amenities or service. Front desk people have no clue of what amenities are available or when they might be available. They solely seem concerned about having you live in the casino while there. They advertise alit of amenities that don’t seem to even be available.
- Misty (10/5): -
- Becky (8/5): -
- Aleshia (10/5): It was an amazing property with some amazing places to eat. - Beautiful property. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing! We'll definitely be back! It was kind of empty, not the hotel's fault. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving so not a lot of people there. We still enjoyed our experience very much.
- Kenia (9/5): -
- Charlene (5/5): -
- Evelyne (8/5): Good - The floors were not clean in the restroom in our room, there was hair and dust around the floorboards
- Melvin (4/5): Great customer service. Enjoyed the food and casino. - Excellent, friendly and courteous service provided by the maids, valet (Bell desk) and restaurants (Claim Jumpers & Landry's staff members. The food was delicious and large portions at both places. Lake view room was beautiful especially at night. Disappointed with the room size. Mattress sinked in the middle of the bed (so uncomfortable). No microwave to heat up cold coffee or food. Paid extra for a refrigerator. There was heavy dust around the bathtub, bathroom light fixtures, Kleenex holder, telephone, and both nightstands. The toilet handle had to be jiggled to stop making water noises. The waters took a long time getting hot. The balcony was dirty from top to bottom and lots of spider webs. Room needs two luggage holders to accommodate two occupants.
- Michael (6/5): The rooms, in my opinion need to be looked at making sure everything is operational. - Service was great, room Service was fast. Hotel rooms were quiet. Good choice of Restaurants. We had a company meeting there in the board room and the service was great, drinks were good and the food was good. golf Course was in good condition. Rooms needed up grading. We had 3-rooms total, in 1- of the rooms the shower was either all Hot or All cold. We ran out of toilet paper in one room, same room the Coffee maker did not work, it was missing a part. Bed was sub-par.
- Zully (10/5): -
- Nicholas (4/5): Nice hotel but disappointed - Good price, large comfortable rooms Very noisy with people smoking and fighting, we had an awful meal that we complained about but nothing was offered to rectify the issue. We got woken up early by screaming in the corridors
- Calvin (8/5): My stay was great…it just wasn’t as exclusive as it normally is for me. It’s still an awesome getaway for a day! - The rooms are gorgeous! The lazy river is a favorite, and so is the beach. To be in Louisiana, I did expect to be able to buy or have local cuisine on premises. Children were running wild at the lazy river, & pool. Not being able to use my room number to purchase drinks at the pool. There were a few people walking around fully dressed and looking like hoodlums. This is my third time coming, but it’s the first time that I felt the place wasn’t as exclusive as I initially did.
- Laura (9/5): Overall very satisfied. - Lots of options of things to do on site 3rd floor “balcony” was on roof line and the privacy/security concern of someone being able to walk the roof and climb over the railing to get into any of the rooms.
- Amanda (6/5): - Convenient to access restaurants and venue. Shops open late. Rims and bathrooms were large. View was beautiful. Didn’t seem like it was as well kept up for the extremely high price I paid. Had to call about AC not cooling. Bedsheets had holes in them. Vending machines were broken on all floors of Gold Tower except bottom level.
