My stay at Golden Nugget Lake Charles had its ups and downs. On one hand, the food at Claim Jumper was enjoyable, and the spa service was top-notch. However, I encountered several issues, including rude staff responses and ongoing noise from a neighboring room's barking dog, which really affected my experience. I left feeling disappointed, especially since I had enjoyed previous visits.
