Immaculate!

The property was very clean and seemed quite new. The location was a bit away from the tourist section of the city which I appreciated, and the view of the bay was stunning! A great start and end to each day.

Convenient Location

The Gold Coast Inn & Suites was a last minute find for us on a busy Holiday week. It was the perfect location for us as we were vacationing with family near by. The room was clean & comfortable. Nice view of the bay and close to the bike trail. The advertised pictures were exactly what we got.

The Great Gold Coast Inn

Very clean and quiet. It was like having the Inn to ourselves. Took a couple times to figure out how to put the numbers in but it was easy. 🤷‍♀️

Perfect for my needs

Great location and lovely view of East Bay from every room. This is not a full-service hotel, but for my needs that was perfect. I wanted a quiet location with good bed/bath/kitchenette facilities, and this property totally met those needs.
