“Best Hospitality Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

The First Gold Hotel has the BEST staff working. This Hotel welcomes everyone with a smile and willingness to help make the stay a perfect experience. All the rooms have all the necessities to make your stay comfortable. They also have a huge buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can always walk away a winner at the beautiful casino or enjoy a refreshing drink at the freindly bar.

Room Tip: Ask for a street view if you want a glimpse of the rest of the town.

“Won't stay here again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We went away for the week-end and took our little dog along. He's very good but I was told ahead of time that there was an additional $25 charge for him. That made the room almost $100. Everyone knows that motels have to do "extra cleaning" of pet rooms. Whatever! The room smelled and there were stains in the carpet. They showed us another pet room if we wanted to move. Wasn't any better but it did come with some dog food on the floor. It's quite a racket motels have with pet charges.

Room Tip: I wish I would have looked at the room first.

The pet policy is a refundable deposit of $25.00, not an outright extra charge. the $25 is returned if there is no mess by the pet in the room. We welcome pets and have more walking space than any other Deadwood establishment. Thank you, the owner.

“Drive on past and stay down the street”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

people found this review helpful

It's a wild maze to find your room and that is only if you can find parking. The rooms are average. There isn't really a restaurant, more like cooking in a closet with 5 tables in the center of some slot machines and the food is less than mediocre. No waitresses. Unlike most gaming places, soda and coffee are not free. Nothing is free and the machines don't pay back very frequently.

If this visitor actually exists and stayed at First Gold, he/she would know that First Gold has over 400 parking spots and the only covered parking attached to building 3 of the 200 room complex. The only 5 tables mentioned as a restaurant is merely the after hours Deli, as our dining room seats 175 with the voted best prime rib dinner and best made to order omelettes for breakfast.

“took great care of us”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

We stayed for 5 nights with 14 other couples as part of a getaway cruise with our Corvette club. We stayed in the Terrace rooms area up the hill from the casino building. They
reserved parking in the covered garage and had a car wash area set up for anyone to use.
The rooms were nice and the patio area was a great place to hook up at the beginning or the end of the day. We pretty much ate breakfast there as we were all over the place enjoying the scenery and great roads. If you walked away hungry it was because you didn't put enough on your plate. Kudos to Mr. Schladweiler and his staff for making this a great stay.
