This Golden Gate hotel was one of the worst experiences I have ever had in 15 years of traveling. I barely slept during my entire stay, which was compounded by my being from the East Coast and trying to stay on East Coast time.
The hotel is located just off of Fremont St (old strip), which I learned has bands playing music from 6 pm until 3 am daily. The hotel does not mention this during booking and seeing the room is discounted through Hotels/Expedia, they stick you in rooms on the noisy side of the building. The music and bass permeate the hotel, and you can hear its muffled lyrics and thumping bass all night. Worse, you have a single-pane glass window separating you and Fremont St.
My original room was the one on Fremont St, with a window overlooking it. I asked to move, and they put me in a room across the hall, which was better but still bad.
Also, the night before I was leaving, I got a phone call around 8 pm rudely telling me I had checked out and to leave the room. I had not checked out, and they had to go over their camera logs to determine that I indeed had not checked out. Then around 9 pm, they had someone come up, knock on my door, apologize, and give me drink cards that I’d have to use that night, useless.
The knobs that controlled the shower were more for suggesting temperature, taking minutes to even put out hot waterand I could pee harder than the water came out.
