Our recent stay at the Golden Nugget Lake Charles was a major disappointment. The beds and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The pool was overcrowded and poorly maintained—floating debris like hair and fake fingernails made it feel unsanitary and uninviting. Dining was another letdown. The food at Lillie’s lacked authenticity and flavor, and Grotto’s tasted like reheated, day-old frozen meals—a stark contrast to the much better experience we’ve had at their Galveston location. Additionally, while we appreciate the hotel being pet-friendly, it comes with downsides. We encountered dog waste in the hallway directly outside our room that remained uncleaned for over 18 hours. For a resort of this caliber, we expected far better cleanliness and service across the board.

The toilet was broken and I checked in on Friday and checking out on Monday and had to call to request for my room to be cleaned. Also on Say someone came in and took the trash out but didn’t clean the room. When they did clean the room on Sunday after my call to front desk informing me I had to request the room get clean all was done was they made the bed. They left the trash and didn’t vacuum the floors or clean anything else.

I’ve been coming here every year for a very long time, but this was the first time I was asked to officially add my wife’s name to the room upon check-in. I was told it was necessary for her to have access to the pool area, and that IDs would be checked at the entrance. The staff member wasn’t rude, but her tone came off a bit condescending. Imagine my surprise when we arrived at the pool and found no one monitoring the entrance. Meanwhile, the area was overrun with teens and preteens—I couldn’t help but wonder if they had their IDs. The firepits in the evening have always been my favorite part of the Golden Nugget experience. Unfortunately, they now only turn them on during weekends. As for the food, it was disappointing. I’m only speaking for a couple of the restaurants, since most were closed for reasons that were never clearly explained. This place has been in steady decline since COVID. There seems to be a subtle shift in both the staff and the clientele, and we just didn’t feel comfortable this time around. I probably won’t be returning.

Could have been better. Like it used to be.

Visited Easter weekend. Kinda disappointed Hotel does not have refrigerators or microwaves in the rooms. For the price you pay you would think it would. They no longer have the Trolley service or van service that would take you to the other casino near by or pickup to and from the airport. When the Hotel 1st opened services were really great. Now a little bit of a downgrade.
