Cities Of Gold Casino

10/10 Excellent
"Great location for visiting Chimayo, but room quality varies greatly. We booked 2 rooms. Pros: Ideal Location: Perfect base for a trip to Chimayo. Atmosphere & Layout: Really pretty indoor/outdoor look and feel throughout the property. Service: The staff was friendly and welcoming. Amenities: Small but decent casino on-site for a bit of entertainment. Cons: Inconsistent Room Quality: We booked two rooms, and the experience differed significantly between floors. Downstairs Room: Clean, though dated. The main issue was a missing lock on the bathroom door. Upstairs Room: Needed substantial maintenance and deep cleaning. Heavy soil on the carpet required wearing shoes at all times. The mini-fridge was extremely noisy and damaged (exposed insulation foam), though it managed to stay cold. Most concerning was visible black mold lining the shower tub. Final Thoughts: I would likely book again for the location and friendly service, but I would strictly request a downstairs room, as those appear to be better maintained or updated."
