Looking for a ghost town hotel ? This is it !!! Coming back from Death Valley we wanted to stop in a ghost town. Goldfield is actually still inhabited but by very few people, it has a few abandoned buildings, this one being the most epic and legendary of the lot. Well worth the little stop I believe!
I have stopped many times to marvel at the splendor of what once was. This grand old hotel needs to be resurrected in similar fashion as the Belvada Hotel in Tonopah, which I've stayed at. It was purchased for $1.00 by its current owners, who also own the Hotel Mizpah across the street, in a similar state of disrepair as the Goldfield Hotel. Anything is possible, and I hope to also see it restored to its original splendor one day. Great piece of architecture!!
Oh how i hope to one day get to go in i just love coming to goldfeild and imagine it in the heyday of is prime and what she will look like when all fixed up. One day I hope to spend the night there
Beautiful living ghost town. The wild burros were the icing on the cake.
