Parking lot is underconstruction. The property overall is nice, they seem to be doing upgrades. The bathroom had notices tegarding towel usage but they didnt provide the \"colored\" towels, note that if you dirtied their white towels they would charge you. Directed not to clean up spills, remove makeup etc. The continental breakfast is sub par.

Needs attention

I’ve stayed here several times before, but this most recent stay left me disappointed. The faucet in the shower needs work, the floors in the bathroom didn’t looked properly mopped, you could see the dirt pushed to the corners. The remote to the TV didn’t work and the buttons on the side of the TV didn’t work properly. Most of the channels were “audio only” (as displayed on the TV). The mini fridge door and microwave needed good cleaning and not just a wipe down.

Weekend Pool & Grill Escape

Meeting a friend from across Texas. We had a decent meal at Central Station Bar & Grill just minutes away. Took in a movie at the Grand. Spent the next day at the Black Gold. Pool is clean . We grilled steaks poolside on the charcoal grill. Staff made sure our room was close to the pool for this. The free hot breakfast was not awesome: Biscuits only1 morning, and no gravy. The place is clean, well maintained, and comfortable.The price, even on a holiday weekend was exceptional. The staff friendly and eager to help. We would come back.

A small town hotel that doesn’t live up to the price it charges. Towels are dingy,bed spreads look clean on the surface but are old and overused.My brother didn’t even have a lock on his door and I know it’s the same room my daughter stayed in last year cause she had the same problem that they said they were going to fix and now it’s a year later with the same problem.Not a lot of options in Yoakum so I guessing that’s why they can be like this.

Flith and disgust!!

Make the drive to Cuero for a room.

While the pictures look nice and the rooms at first-very quick glance appear decent, they are not.
We had a huge party staying at the Black Gold and not one person didnt have an issue.
Personally- it started with unknown spots on the bedding and upon further review, it was just nasty. Manager kindly moved our room, however the next, the toilet didnt work. 3rd times a charm right, nope- so we moved to another hotel. Manager says she is trying but is well aware of the flith and conditions.
Take a second thought to staying as I wish I orgianlly followed my gut and made the very quick drive to Cuero to start with.

Hotels.com was freat with assiting the cancelation during the stay**

Ownership step up!

The staff was friendly and fabulous!

That said, the owner obviously skimps on conveniences and repairs, including those involving safety.

I spoke with numerous guests and none of us received caffeinated coffee in our rooms; the owner shouldn’t make the decision to only provide decaf—it was a cheap decision to be made.

A broken hairdryer had no screen and wouldn’t stay in the holder; dangerous as hair can get caught and catch on fire and it could also fall in the sink. The pool (not that I used it) was an off green and certainly needs to be checked by the health department to increase chemicals for algae.

The saddest part, the lobby had no air, I felt awful for the staff having to work I. Such hot conditions, especially when they were so friendly and helpful.

Ownership needs to step up and make repairs!

The bath towels were almost the size of hand towels. The towel bar was broken. The shower’s water was luke warm. The room was hot as heck when we first walked in and we had to crank up the AC.

Black Gold is the nicest place to stay in Yoakum. The staff is very friendly. However, I’ve stayed here 2 times in last 7 months and both times the floors were dirty. Visible shoe tracks everywhere, so don’t walk around barefoot. Bring your own towels because theirs are thin and old. Also, the coffee in the lobby comes out of a machine and once you see it, you will not drink it.

Not great, but not bad. I received it.

For not being a chain motel, and being in a very small town I found it to be nice and accomodating. Rooms were big and looked to be freshly renovated with up to date furnishings and comfortable bedding on a nice comfy bed. The only negative is we couldn't get the tv to work in the room (which was not a great big deal for us) as we were in & out, and the after hours noise outside. Our neighbor next to us decided to drink outside by his truck through out the night which lead to loud laughing and roudiness. Also, even if the breakfast was not good at all, we would stay here again if ever in the area. (There's a good Donut shop right down the road that sells yummy, big jalapeno & cheese kolaches.

When I asked for towels I was told we don’t have any. I came to get towels again around 4:30 pm and was told it would be another 4 hours before I could get towels. We had to stay an extra night. Was told it would be $74.99 then I was charged $101.69. I called and ask why I was charged that amount and all they could tell me is I don’t know what to tell you. Rooms are decent for the price.

Not his fault whatsoever as this is a very busy weekend for the cities surrounding Shiner, TX. The rooms were cozy but we were able to spot a few cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and we killed about 4 spiders on our stay. Not a big deal for us. This is Texas.

This hotel is decent but when we got to the room I noticed it was very dusty, there were some spilt coke in the kitchen area still on the floor and the toilet paper roll was completely empty. The outside of the refrigerator was dirty and the bathroom light did not work. Not sure the room was actually cleaned prior to us getting there. At night once it was too late to get another room, we pulled back the bed covers and noticed black hair (I’m blonde) all on the bedding with a big ball of hair so it was apparent the room had not been cleaned or the bedding changed.
