What guests think

Across recent reviews, Rocky Gap Casino & Resort stands out for its beautiful lakeside mountain setting, clean rooms, and plenty to do on site, while recurring downsides include short-staffed restaurants, mixed food quality, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses.

Many guests love the outdoor amenities such as the beach, pool and hot tub, fire pits, trails, golf, and the small casino, with easy access to the state park and highway. Room feedback is mixed: some find them quiet and comfortable with great views, while others note uncomfortable beds, noisy HVAC or A/C failures, obstructed lake views, older TVs, and weak Wi-Fi. Expect a scenic, low-key resort stay with occasional service and facility hiccups.

Parking is horrible for hotel guests. There's no dedicated parking for paid guests. It's shared with golfers and casino visitors. You may have to carry your luggage for quite a distance. Our room was spacious, but the amenities were minimal. Shampoo, and body wash wash there but not enough for two people for a day. The tissue box had approximately 10 tissues in the box. The toilet paper roll was almost empty when we arrived. In addition, there were unknown extra fees upon check-in. We will never stay here again.

Resort is great. Love the casino and beach. Would like better parking and more handicapped spaces. Automatic doors at the lobby entrance would be helpful as well as an automatic water bottle refill center at the drinking fountains.

Rocky Gap was a beautiful resort and lots to explore in the area. The only disappointment was that if I would have known the pool and hot tub were down for maintenance and the Sports Bar restraunt closed I would have booked different dates when they were open. I currently have dietary restrictions and the menu at the closed restraunt had better choices for me. I was looking forward to pool and hot tub for a winter break from work.

We went for the beach and the pool. My daughter loved it! She is special needs and spent over 6 hours in the pool. My husband and I had a great view of the beach and fire pits from the pool and were able to order food from the restaurant and eat poolside. Breakfast was also good.

The property is nice and especially well-maintained outside. However, the staff in most parts of the hotel were either rude or extremely disinterested in their patrons - with one exception…the young gentleman working the snack bar both mornings we were there - he was awesome. I also ended up with someone else’s room charge (alcohol - and I’m allergic and don’t drink) on my room and am having to actually wait to get my card credited. If the resort was appropriately staffed (they seemed short-handed), perhaps this would’ve been much better. Parking is also a mess - between gamblers, golfers, and guests, it seems no one has a good spot. Lastly, the hotel has not updated itself well for ADA (doors without buttons for those with wheelchairs; doorways that aren’t flush, so a wheelchair/scooter can’t go over it). Even though we did not need the ADA accommodations, there were a number of people there who clearly did.

I was surprised that you had to ask for daily housekeeping services. But when asked for extra towels it was not a problem. However they did not come in room to take the used towels. But when asked for a toiletry at front desk they were very accommodating. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. Check in and check out were very easy.

At check-in there were no luggage carts to be found. At restaurants the service was generally slow and employees didn’t greet or communicate much. Water pressure in the shower was terrible. The shelf in the shower was also missing leaving nowhere to put soap, shampoo, razor, etc. Guests in other rooms enjoying cigarettes or marijuana could be smelled in our room at times. The overall cleanliness was good.

We were so disappointed with our room and experience - the carpet was frayed, the table lamps and chargers did not work, and we could only get wifi if we sat with our back to the door (we could not leave this review anywhere in the resort because of the poor wifi). The price of water and sandwiches was insane ($12.00 for a plain ham roll with cheese). We would not recommend this hotel for anyone that needs wifi access - we did not feel we received value for $$$

First - if you book and pay for "lake view" I advise you check if it a a FULL lake view. Our 'lake view' on the third was 2/3 a direct shot and view of the black tar roof of a wing of the building, bright colored ladder and shiny vents! Having paid nearly $200 for the room, this was unacceptable to me. However it was a birthday treat for someone and asking to change rooms to a real lake view did not go over well. The room was clean and neat, the staff friendly, easy parking. The highlight was sitting by the fire pit at night, looking over Lake Habeeb and watching the ducks. The fall colors in October were gorgeous and well worth the stay. Too bad we couldn't really appreciate it from our expensive"lake view" room

The property and rooms are very clean. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The restaurant was very disappointing. We went to the casual dining and after sitting for over 15 with no service (while people who came in after us were served) we decided to leave. We tried the other restaurant but was told a reservation was necessary. We ended up eating at the quick serve area but the food was disappointing.

We had a great time this weekend and will definitely return. The only thing that impacted our stay was the lack of servers in the restaurants. This delayed being seated as the servers working could only take a certain number of tables. This also impacted our meal service. Our server was fantastic but we could see she was being pulled in many directions. Hopefully the resort can entice more service staff.

Rude and racist staff. Employees were curt and very unwelcoming to my family. I arrived at 12:30…waited 5 hours for the room to be “inspected” although it was already clean. The restaurant staff at the restaurant was abrasive and did not smile at all. We were concerned about ordering food, not knowing if food would be tainted, etc. This is not a resort for African american families. Maybe that is the intention.

What a beautiful property and area! We only had one night to stay here as we passed through during the off-season, but wished we had more time. We chose this spot due to the fact that we had dining options that we didn't even have to leave the building for, which was very nice after a long day's drive, and so that the next morning we could take a nice hike before hitting the road again. Both were perfect. I could imagine how nice it is to stay for a little vacay on the lake. Their beach, outdoor decks and lounge areas, and of course the outdoor bar would be so nice during summer weather, but even in the cold, it was nice to have such a big space to wander around and hang out inside too. We didn't use the pool, but it looked really nice. I would definitely stay here again.

I have always loved the surroundings at this resort. Such a beautiful area. However, the resort itself has declined. Frayed towels, lack of cleanliness, hot tub with no jets operating, flaking paint and more. Staff very friendly and helpful for the most part but waitstaff seemed overtaxed causing back ups in delivery. Good management attention is needed to restore this resort to a place worth the prices charged.

Great place to enjoy the outdoors hiking, views, and golf with a casino. The rooms were very clean and recently updated. Our room was generally quiet but you can hear people getting back to their rooms late from having fun. Bring earplugs if your a light sleeper. Food at the restaurant was just ok for the prices. Everything was 3 out 5 good just not great. Staff was little overwhelmed with the increased volume of guests as summer approaches.
