Guest Reviews
We have been coming to the Goldmoor just about every year over past 10 years for our wedding anniversary. Never disappoints! We prefer the English Cottage but the other cottages are beautiful as well. It is a great escape for us. My job is high stress so this is also my chance to fully decompress and relax. In room breakfast is always delicious!

Dinner at Goldmoor was lovely. We were a party of 12 and were served cocktails on the patio overlooking the Mississippi River and a gorgeous sunset. A great chef in that kitchen! Mahi mahi was great. The salads were creative and yummy. The bread came with lobster infused butter. Excellent service. Highly recommend
