What guests think

Boulder Dam Hotel draws travelers for its historic character and central, walkable location, with many praising very clean rooms and welcoming staff, while frequently noting compact rooms and bathrooms, occasional thin walls, and firm memory foam mattresses.

The on-site Hoover Dam museum and a basement lounge with live music add charm, and free coffee is appreciated. However, guests repeatedly report limited or inconsistent restaurant and lounge hours, and minor maintenance issues or musty odors appear occasionally. Housekeeping is widely praised, though a few stays lacked mid-stay service. Expect a unique, historic stay prioritizing character and location over modern room size and amenities.

Cute historic hotel in historic downtown Boulder City. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the museum about the history of Hoover Dam on the 2nd floor. We were disappointed that the restaurant was only open on the weekends.

Only complaint is the bed was like a slab of concrete. It’s definitely an old place so don’t expect a fitness center or pool. It’s a cool place. I was also a little disappointed that the museum wasn’t open even though it was past 7am when it said it was.

Very clean and well worth the lodging rate. Service personnel were very pleasant, helpful and seemed to enjoy working at this hotel. A full breakfast was fairly priced and delicious. Will be coming back as it was truly an enjoyable experience. Only criticism would be that some shower/tubs did not have grab bars. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

This is a great, historic hotel with a museum covering the building of Hoover dam. Great surroundings with many small shops and restaurants. So much calmer and relaxing than Vegas. Keep in mind it is a historic building. Room has a key on a key ring, can’t remember the last time I saw that. Has a nice little restaurant in the hotel that serves breakfast and lunch. TV is small, but with so much to do nearby why would you waste your time watching the tube?

Classy older hotel . Very comfortable mattress (memory foam) and furniture. Good restaurant off lobby as well as lively lounge in basement. Located in middle of historic Boulder City downtown so plenty of shopping and other dining options. Building also contains historic Hoover Dam museum and art gallery.

Rooms were clean only disappointment was the bed it was on a metal frame with a foundation and it was a foam mattress. It should have been on a platform bed. The foundation was slipping off of the metal frame. Other than that the room was very clean. Carpet was old but that's an older hotel.

Fortunately we found a small seating area around the corner from our room. It was clean and tastefully decorated. The ceiling fan didn’t work but we made do. Good location. Overall very nice stay.

Rooms

Rooms have historic decor and modern basics, but many are compact with very small bathrooms; suites offer more space. Comfort feedback is mixed due to firm memory foam beds and occasional thin walls or mechanical noise, though Wi-Fi and A/C generally work well.

This is a great alternative to staying in Las Vegas. The Boulder Dam Hotel is located in a cool walkable area with art and many restaurant choices. Staff members were welcoming and pleasant. The lobby is charming and the mezzanine has a cool museum. The furniture in the room is antique and charming. The WiFi was excellent and the television seemed to have plenty of channels. The mattress was quite comfortable and seemed to be memory foam. The only downsides were the extremely noisy bathroom fan and the discolored bottom of the tub. We live in a 100 year old house with a 100 year old tub that we have refinished twice, so I understand the challenges there. The tub was clean, so I did not mind.

Bed unmade, wastebaskets not emptied, towels not changed. I had to go to the desk to ask for fresh towels. We checked out on day 4. No housekeeping during our 3 night stay.

Quaint, artsy town. A great place to stay the night if you’re visiting the dam or on your way to some national parks. Great afternoon service at the front desk. She was Helpful, polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Room was clean. Great breakfast. Things to work on: Better signage about restaurant and lounge hours. Morning desk person acknowledging and greeting clients coming down in the morning. I suggest a coffee maker in the room. Also I understand this is an older building but the room definitely had an older musty smell.

We were looking for a quiet place to stay away from the Las Vegas strip but within 30 minutes from the airport to end an Utah parks vacation. Perfect hotel to check all those boxes. Historic property with interesting attached museum on the Dam. Room was very quiet with comfortable furnishings, tv, free wifi, and price was very reasonable.

This hotel has some great historic significance and is very central in the historic district of Boulder City. It's a very charming area and a super spot to walk around. The staff was very helpful. The room I stayed in was clean and a throwback with a rotary phone. If you are looking for a more modern hotel this is not the spot for you. For those you appreciate the simplicity of the past.
