| - I figure it's time for an update, as I've stayed at the Gold Coast a few more times since I wrote my original review. Back in January, I got my usual standard room and everything was fine...until it sounded like the shower pipe was going to explode through the wall. It got so bad that it woke me and my best friend after a heavy night of partying. I've slept through earthquakes and shootings back home, but this pipe was crazy loud. It sounded like a jackhammer at a construction site. I shook off the isolated incident.
However, my most recent stay this past 4th of July, my friend booked a room through Priceline and it seems as Priceline does not forward your booking details to the hotel. If you request a double, it's pure luck if you get a double, Priceline simply gets you whatever room they can, which is all in the small print. We did not know this. As a result, we were a little disappointed in not getting two beds; however, we checked the next day and we were given a double in one of their premium rooms at no additional charge. Now that's service! The different between standard room and premium room is night and day. The rooms are much nicer and the bathrooms are actually large and spacious.
Although I've had a few hiccups with Gold Coast, I continue to love their hotel. The staff is friendly, the rooms are more than adequate, the value is unparalleled, and the shuttle is free. Additionally, if you drive to Vegas, the parking is free on their property, A great resort for those not trying to break their bank account.
