Family weekend

“Fantastic trip and stay! I would highly recommend it to anyone. The location is extremely convenient with easy access to both the park and the casino. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the beds were very comfortable. Considering that both the park entrance and breakfast are included in the price, along with the added benefit of skipping long queues at the park, the overall value is excellent.”

The room was good. Check in time according to Hotels.com ends at 9:30. We were there before 9:30 and were told the room would only be ready at 2pm It caused major inconvenience as we were not ready for the day. And had to change on the bathrooms.

Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel

Greeted with a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The hotel offers a shuttle from/to the parking area and to/from the Gold Reef City Casino. The park is well maintained. All facilities and walkways are kept very clean which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast at Barney’s Restaurant offered a wide variety of choices.
