A thoroughly enjoyable stay that I would highly recommend  The only downside was the lack of shelves for you bathroom toiletries -

but there were some rooms "sponsored" across the hall with spectacular bathroom upgrades and lovely antique furniture.

They are renovating the rooms I guess; mine - reserved indirectly - was quite spartan and with a MINUSCULE bathroom (you could not sit on the toilet unless the door was closed….

The bathroom was very small and accessing the toilet could be problematic for large people.

My only complaint is the soap and shampoo provided need to be a bit more soapy.

That was balanced by cracks in ceiling, no refrigerator, almost non-existent WIFI, outdated plumbing, inoperative ice machine, closed on-site restaurant, small shower and no ground floor rooms.

The soap, shampoo, etc were in dispensers, except there was no shampoo and the rest were hard to get out.

Bathroom door looked like it had been attacked with a weed eater around the bottom edges.

Our room and bathroom were small and tired looking.

This is a really old hotel so do not expect large bedrooms or bathrooms.

The fan in the bathroom was operated by  the light switch and was quite noisy.

The valve in the shower gave us some issue and the ring on the door know for the bathroom needs some screws.

The bathroom door was a bit scuffed though.

however, was exceptionally tight and some people might have a lot of difficulty using the toilet due to the very limited space between it and the basin.

The rooms are also in keeping; small (for the US), with simple décor, small (for the US) beds, small bathrooms (come to that, small bathtubs.

The Boulder Dam Inn is a nice historic hotel if you can overlook some of the issues/ quirks that are inherent in an old hotel: small rooms, small bathrooms, thin walls.

Went up to the room and spent almost 30 minutes under the hot shower trying to loosen up my back and legs.

The rooms have character, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms small.

The museum of the Hoover dam construction is very good and adds to the lovely atmosphere.

If you are planning to visit the Hoover Dam, this is a great location nearby.

The 'in house' Hoover Dam museum is great.

but to learn about the history on how the hoover dam was built.

The museum is well worth visiting and the Hoover Dam is only a few miles away so it’s a great base.

There was also an interesting museum in the hotel regarding the building of the Hoover Dam.

Note, the hotel  around the time they were building the Hoover Dam.

It was built to support the building of the Hoover Dam so it is quite historic.

This hotel was only about 30 minutes from the strip, and was clean, well run and managed, and in a good area near Hoover Dam.

I liked the history associated with the hotel and their museum was very interesting.. Great location also for visiting the Hoover Dam.

We had an idea there was a story connecting the hotel with Hoover Dam,

Very close to Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam.

And take the time for a short history lesson about the great Hoover Dam.

The Hoover Dam museum is in the hotel, so that is an interesting activity if in the area.

Always a pleasant stay in this town filled with antique stores, galleries, art, and sculpture; and with one of the wonders of the world, Hoover Dam, just a few minutes away.

Really nice stay and close to Hoover Dam!

It is also very close to Hoover Dam and Las Vegas.

I was just planning to visit the Hoover Dam.

There is also a free museum telling the history of Hoover Dam!

There is a downstairs bar where live music was played on the evening we stayed.

There was live music across the street that we listened to with our windows open during the night.

We were there on the weekend and they had live music.

We spent one evening sitting at Tony's Pizza at a sidewalk table enjoying a pizza and the other folks dining and listening to live music.

There is a Grand Piano, upholstered furniture, old photos of the hotel and Boulder City.

Stepping into the lobby was like stepping back in time with overstuffed comfortable furniture, beautiful wood doors, trim work and check-in desk and even some 40s music playing.

One feels at home when you look around the living room and see the piano and fireplace.

Everything was perfect from the lobby with the fireplace glowing and the piano to the room decor to the dining area.

Beautifully decorated hotel for Christmas ,fireplace, piano, and hot restaurant departure breakfast.

The lobby with grand piano was welcoming and relaxing.

Arrived in the foyer with pleasant  jazz music playing.

It was a beautiful place to walk into homely, well decorated even a grand piano.

Lots of wood, an impressive staircase and a piano in the lobby.

The lobby is adorned with a huge piano and has several sofas.

And if you're lucky, someone will be playing the grand piano in the lobby while you're there enjoying the fire in the fireplace.

One other interesting thing, if you can remember late 1950’s & early 1960’s music you just might remember a couple of instrumentals by drummer Sandy Nelson, “Let there be drums” or “Teen beat”.

The staff were friendly and professional - my concert pianist husband enjoyed playing the 100 year old grand piano in the lobby, and guests gathered to listen and enjoy, it was tuned PERFECTLY.

They had a grand piano in the lobby which they let my boys play.

This beautiful and historic hotel comes with one huge caveat: LOUD and LATE MUSIC from a nearby brewpub within just a few steps of the street - facing rooms each Friday and Saturday nights.

Our receptionist checked everyone in with, " Happy to have you here! No smoking, no pets, no partyin' like a rock star!"

Bathroom was tiny, no place for toiletries.

They are NOT kidding about hot water and small bathrooms.

Very small room and very small bathroom you nearly had to empty the Boulder Dam before you got a "not so hot shower".

Note:* the bathrooms are very small in the Queen rooms, hence, they are better suited to the 'solo' traveller.

Our room had a "Living room" with a kitchen, a bedroom and a small bathroom.

The room was not very posh and the bathroom very small

The rooms are small as most from the depression era.

Though the room was small, it was just fine for two people.

The rooms were small and the beds uncomfortable.

However, our room was small and as mentioned, it looked as if the room had  not been updated since the 1930's.

We stayed in the Shirley Temple room which was quite small

Our room was very small and had no real storage space, and the bed was not really comfy.

(It turns out there was small room that had coffee in it down the hall,

We would definitely stay at the Hoover Dam Lodge again.

The location was close to the Hoover Dam.

Beautiful view of Lake Mead and easy access to Hoover Dam from this Hotel.

I stayed at the Hoover Dam Lodge and Casino this fall, as they had a special rate for a nearby recreational event at Lake Mead’s Boulder Beach.

We stayed here for two nights to boat on Lake Mead and visit the Hoover Dam.

This was a stopover for us between Zion NP and Death Valley so gave us the opportunity to visit the Hoover Dam and look over Lake Mead.

The lobby is supper cool with Hoover Dam history making it family friendly.

Lots of really neat pictures of Hoover Dam being built.

Close to Hoover Dam, and very close to Historic Boulder City, this place is a nice respite from the cacaphony in Vegas.

If you're looking for a lodge nearby the Hoover dam, this is a right place to book.

But, another added bonus is the Historic Railroad trail leading from here to the Hoover Dam is right behind the Lodge so i was able to walk it in the morning.

The Hoover Dam Lodge is a great place to visit.

The lobby and casino were clean, cooled nicely by the A/C, had interesting history about Hoover Dam.

.it was literally a couple of minutes drive to Hoover Dam and about 5-7 min drive into Boulder City, NV which is a cute smaller town with a great vibe in its downtown district.

Your about 35 minutes away from the vegas strip in some rural country, nearby Hoover Dam.

Check in was quick and efficient and they did not mind us leaving our trailer in their (free) parking area the next day while we visited the Hoover Dam.

We stayed in the Hoover Dam Lodge while visiting the Hoover Dam and Boulder City.

Stayed at the hoover dam lodge, seventh floor room over looking lake mead.

Got there to have a great location near Vegas, Valley of Fire and Hoover dam.

There's a lounge which has live music on the weekends and a new sports bar with a William Hill sports betting machine, plenty of TV monitors, video poker/keno and coin-operated sports-based arcade games (no children allowed, though).

Came to Boulder City for the wine walk and got tickets, a room, shuttle to and from, with hot food and music back at the hotel when it was done.

Live music Saturday night was a nice plus.

-Staff was friendly 

Cons:
-Still missing a good ambiance maybe play some music on speakers?

Make sure to bring your charger plug for your phone.

I do not know how they had overlooked our reservation, as we spoke with the Hoover Dam Lodge reservation agent (Angela) directly, on the phone.

I just asked Anna to call her supervisor Ester and she said no.

No one answered the phone when trying to contact them.

Even had trouble loading some shopping sites, so I had to use my hotspot on my phone

3.

but not what we call beneficial white noise.

My phone calls to management were not returned.

NO CALLS BACK, NO RESPONSE, I SUSPECT NO INVESTIGATION.

Also, I had a really hard time getting cell service in the room and the bathroom floor could have used a good cleaning.

When I tried calling back FIVE TIMES at around 11pm (way after any rush) I kept getting stuck in the "phone tree" or just flat out hung up on.

Only the electrical plugs with the coffee pot and hair dryer carry enough electricity to properly charge ipads and phones, the other outlets do nothing.

They had me call booking.com and then the website called them.

I had to go out to the middle of the parking lot to get a cell signal for phone calls.

Reception desk was single handedly being run by a woman while a queue formed then a young man came out who seemed to rush through everything whilst answering the phone rudely, just to put potential customers on hold.

The location can't be beat, and the scenery, rocks and hills just growing up out of the ground close at hand in every direction, I can't get tired of that view.

Monday was a slow day for us and the machines were slower than the previous two nights.

I haven’t even gotten to my room yet because the check in desk is ridiculously slow.

Front desk took 1/2 hour to check us in because the 2  front desk personnel were untrained and slow.

Beds are uncomfortably firm - I really hurt my back as a result, the shower has low pressure and poor water flow, the toilet clogs, and the WiFi is unreasonably slow.

The WIFI wasn't great, was very slow and often didn't work

under a new owner, rates double to $100/per night, room did not have a dresser, air condition loud & not consistent, TV was so blurry hard to watch,  update needed wallpaper was peeling, shower was slow (hubby said he could get more spray from a rain storm), staff ok made excuses 'remodeling, 12th flood finished

The wifi is painfully slow and disconnects constantly.

The place was clean and the bathroom was nice, the channels for TV are very limited and the Wi-Fi is not secured so it is very very very slow.

Hotel's free ,WiFi bandwidth is limited, and somewhat slow, and cell service inside the hotel is not existent (AT&T).

Front desk process is slow during peak times.

Internet was slow and dropped connection a lot.

The shower was an incredibly slow drain and began to back up onto the floor.

First, it is very slow loading (and we have the fastest speeds available on our home internet connection).

Also there is smoking in the casino, I did not know that when we booked the room,

One room smelled like sour milk-disgusting.

When we ran the a/c, it smelled like urine.

Unfortunately they still allow smoking within the hotel, to which was a complete turn off!

So a wasted night, a smelly hotel, and no internet.

Also, there was a grossly stained chair in the room, the bathroom smelled of cigarettes (which became a smell in the rest of the room once the AC had to be shut off).

Not to mention we have to wait in a smoky lobby because the casino is open to the lobby and smoke is drifting over.

There is a casino inside this lodge and on the 2nd floor there is a bingo room - one side smoking - one side not.

Only reason that I am not giving 5 stars is because of smoke, and that is not the fault of the hotel.

It was quite and the smoke smell was very low for getting  there on a Friday night.

The rooms were dated, the shower didn’t drain and the room smelled musty and a hint of smoke.

casinos smelled of smoke which I do not like,

Although the cigarette smoke hits you when you first walk into the lobby, there was no smell in the room.
