“WE LOVE THIS PLACE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

The Gold Hill Hotel is actually in Gold Hill, Nevada which is just a few miles south of Virginia City. It is the OLDEST hotel in all of Nevada!

The entire Staff is excellent - You will be spoiled and pampered by all. Please treat these people kindly and with respect as they work very hard and so deserve it. Have a drink (or several) in the bar and ask Theresa about the Ghost Adventure people. Be sure to sign a Dollar (or more) bill and give it to Theresa to post on the ceiling. Your Server in the Restaurant will probably be: Victor, Jessica or Molly. Ask Victor about being John Wayne's butler!

Tuesday Nights the Gold Hill Hotel features a buffet dinner and a lecture series for only $15.00 for both. Some special events are $25.00 for dinner and lecture. If you go to the dinner and lecture and spend the night (Tuesday) at the Gold Hill Hotel, you get a 25% discount off your hotel room!

I booked Room # 5 (William's room, which many say is haunted.) as a belated 18th Anniversary. I really wanted to stay in Rose's room, Room # 4, but her room is usually booked way in advance. Room 5 is beautiful and I've never stayed in a cleaner place!

While I wish I could report that William did come to visit us, unfortunately he either didn't or I slept through it. Room 5 has a great balcony so you may enjoy the beautiful sunrise, watch the moon or listen to the howl of coyotes at night.

The continental breakfast is great - We enjoyed ours yesterday morning on the deck outside, enjoying the sunshine and quiet.

If you REALLY have guts, rent the Miner's Cabin. That's all I will say... Ask the Ghost Adventure people about this one.

Bill and Carol have created the perfect HISTORIC paradise at The Gold Hill Hotel. I hope the new owners, Comstock Mining, Inc. keep everything exactly the way it is.

The only unpleasant part of the entire experience of the Gold Hill Hotel is leaving... I so wish I could live there. Tell them Tara from Reno sent you!

Room Tip: I personally love the old original wing. Remember the rooms are smaller and most of the beds in this...

“"Ghost xperience-No Charge"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

A beautiful ride to Virginia City. Chock full of history from the old west. Abandoned mines and crumbling ruins are abundant. Included with your price for admission was a ghost visit during our stay in Room 1 in the old part of the hotel. Mysterious alarm clock going off at exactly midnight . Lights fickering and finally cabinet doors opening on theyre own. It was awesome! Old time saloon in the basement and all sorts of history from the old west right around the corner including The Old Washoe Club which is also haunted. Bucket of Blood Saloon which has all sorts of history and great t-shirts to purchase. Definately recommend Virginia City , NV and the Gold Hill Hotel.

Oldest hotel in Nevada and a perfect choice for our 2 days of history in Virginia City. Hotel was clean and well run. We stayed in room 4 in the old part of the hotel. It was perfect. The dinner was wonderful at the Tuesday nite buffet and the continental breakfast (included) was a nice surprise. Rumor has it that the hotel has been sold and purchased by Hilton.

Don't miss the tour of the 4th Ward School!

“Excellent Choice”

Loved this place! Loved the grounds (even in the snow) and the entire building. We had room 14 or 17? - has an outside entrance with a private patio. Loved the blend of decor. It was very clean even down to no dust on the blinds. (We are motel owners, so we pay attention to every detail)..
Restaurant was excellent - highly recommend the elk.
After an evening celebrating my birthday in Virginia City at the Red Dog (highly recommended too) we came back to our room and sat on the edge of the bed together - our combined heavy flipped up the mattress - we laughed so hard and so long that we must have wakened up everyone - but no one scolded us.
Staff was very nice -
