We enjoyed our time at First Gold again!! Helpful employees at the reservation counter and great food and service in the dining room. Our room was clean and quiet. We really appreciate the employees and look forward to another visit. A very special thanks to Angie in reservation s.

Overall it was a positive experience staying here. The rooms are about what you would expect for the price. The carpet did have some stains on it and the mini fridge had some dried beer in it and smelled kind of bad, but the rest of the room was clean and tidy. The only complaint we really had was that we were in a room closest to the main road outside, and you can hear the traffic very clearly, so if you're a light sleeper you will get woken up a lot. We ended up having to use ear plugs to sleep. The beds are not horrible, but not the most comfortable either. For the price I think it's about what you expect. I don't think it's a bad place to stay...I just highly recommend requesting a room on the far side of the building from the road. One perk is they do offer certain free alcoholic beverages to customers while they are gambling downstairs. The staff was very friendly. No complaints with service itself. The restaurant in the hotel was very affordable and the food was tasty. The waitress did an amazing job.
Went here for the $12.95 T-bone steak is a steal! Mine was a bit overly salted but the steak was still good. For a small resort, they had a good amount of slots to play.
Had the most amazing time in Deadwood during the 4th of July week. Awesome food, awesome service and some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We will definitely be staying here again.
Very nice staff and excellent breakfast. Room was clean and had no problems.
We had a good night at this motel. The food (& prices) at the diner was great. Parking (at first) was a little confusing, but plentiful. We are already planning to return here.
Stopped in here to stay after a trip through the Black Hills en-route to Yellowstone and I have forgotten some items in the hotel room. I called and asked if they could hang onto them for me and I will grab them on my way back. Three days later I stopped into stay again and they had my things put aside at the front desk for me. Incredible service, the rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. The $12.99 T-bone steak was fantastic and the service in the restaurant was great. If I ever do make my way through this spectacular historical town again- I will be staying here. Love from Canada.
At the foot of a leafy hillside surrounded by mountains, this down-to-earth casino hotel is a mile from the Deadwood Historic District and 5 miles from the Black Hills Mining Museum.
