Average off the Strip Hotel, but best one in the Downtown area. Pool area is different with unique aquarium, shark tank. Casino was on the smaller size, multiple restaurants. Staff was all over the spectrum, some very friendly and courteous and others meh. We stayed in Carson Tower and had not been remodeled but we knew this and it was ok. Elevator issues are real, getting stuck for 10 minutes to a few hours is a real thing! Lucky for us, we escaped the drama. If I stay on Freemont again I would consider Golden Nugget again.
