Our room was adequate for the 7 hours we were there to sleep. For traveling on a Friday, the rate was decent compared to other hotels that might have been a bit better. Cons: Even though the room was non-smoking, it smelled vaguely of cigarette smoke when you first walked in, but I got used to it and didn't notice after that. The road noise was terrible until about 10pm, and then only occasionally did I hear traffic. I would have liked a lamp at the head of the bed so I could read while my wife slept, but the only lights in the room were overhead on the ceiling. There also appeared to be limited choices of channels on the TV. Pros: The room was clean, bed appeared clean, and bathroom was clean. The shower water was hot. I never saw the other visitors or heard anyone next door.

I expected the quality to be somewhat low, but what concerned me most was the lack of safety. When we arrived at the parking lot, there were three men smoking marijuana, and they even approached us offering food and trying to talk to us.

I don’t understand why the hotel does not manage people gathering in the parking area and allows guests to be affected like this. It felt very unsafe, and I could not even leave the room. I was also worried that our car might be stolen, so I could not sleep well during the night.

Safety is extremely important, and unfortunately I do not feel comfortable returning to this hotel again.

This was the worst Inn I have ever been in! Waste of money. So dirty with stains on the sheets and towels. There were hairs on the bed from previous customers, the dryer was not working. They literally have one person in office and they are so rude and not helpful at all. Me and my partner go to so many places and this was the worst experience we had and such a shame. Please avoid going here I never leave reviews but this was so bad that I thought to leave this for people who want to go here.

When I arrived, I checked in and went to my room. There was NO HEAT on at all! The temperature outside was 12 degree Farenheit! So, that was the temperature inside my room! If they have a certain amount of rooms pre-booked, shouldn't they make sure the heat is turned on in those rooms. That way, the guests dont have to wait 3 hrs for the room to heat up! Also, it was difficult to regulate the heat while I slept. It got too hot and my nose was dry from the heat. So, I lowered it and it turned off completely! I had to call the office and have them fix it. I had very little sleep from the disruption. Also, there were no handtowels! Just a bath towel and wash cloth! The hotel rate was $107 w/tax fees. I found much better hotels in the area for $80 incl tax/fees! The room size was comforatable and it was clean. However,overall, I'm Very DIsappointed!

Upon entering the room and then going to the bathroom, I found the toilet bowl full of urine and toilet paper. I got there late at night so I didn’t bother contacting the staff. The room although the air-conditioning/heat was said hi the room was terribly cold. I wanted an extra blanket, but wasn’t able to get one that late at night. The hotel needs a redo a lot of not so great conditions although clean things needed to be upgraded. Towels were very thin and small. The next day when I told the establishment about it, they said you should’ve called us. I don’t know how much they could’ve done but they just shrugged it off. I told him I would be going there at least once a month, but not using their facility and the only thing they could say was “ ok”
Bojo, when I got there, I went up the driveway that was very iced up and was very nervous. Although I managed to get up the driveway only to find out that was the driveway they didn’t want you to use. I have to say the husband was very helpful in getting my car and taking it to a safe place. But that’s when all the goodness ended.

There is a reason that this property rents forb17.5% less than other motels in the area (Expedia). First noise, you will be on the emergency vehicle pathway that parallels rt 84. The driveway in and out are dangerously steep and unsighted. There are no amenities, the “handicapped” room, while accessible from the parking area, had a bathtub and no handrails of any sort. There was a refrigerator that I had to shim up to stablize the machine and get the refrigerator door to open properly. A trip to the office was necessary to procure toilet paper. Only those stopping overnight on the way to somewhere else should take the cheaper rates offered by this motel.

After settling in my room, I noticed the TV would not power on. I contacted the front desk and the woman came to my room with 3 remotes. Eventually she required an alternate. She went above and beyond to ensure I had a working TV. I appreciated that effort. Id recommend this location.

The room smelled very strongly of harsh cleaner or disinfectant when we arrived. It was so strong and unpleasant that we left our door open with the fan on for a while even though it was very hot and we would have preferred to close the door and put on the AC. The room was clean and fine otherwise, but that smell was very unpleasant. This hotel is okay for the price.

The Golden Hill Inn is on a little hill, so the entrance and exit driveways are steep. Which is actually pretty cool! It overlooks a part of town, and there is a convenient store literally right across the street, which is great... but also it has a feeling like the Inn is a separate place, elevated and off by itself. The room was standard, modern, and clean. The staff was kind and helpful.

Clean, but smelled like cigarettes and no wifi

Clean, recently renovated room at a reasonable rate and a great location.

There were two problems: the wifi was simply not available, there was only one bar and I couldn't connect at all. The other problem was that the room (but not the bed) smelled like cigarettes or weed. It was not incredibly bothersome while I was there, but when we got home we realized that all of our clothes, even the clothes that remained in our suitcase, had picked up the smell.

The pictures are very deceiving. I understand is not a 5 star hotel, it is a motel but i hoped it would be clean. We traveled with a one year old so we moved the bed and found opened condom wrapped, hair, toe nails in the bathroom corner, dead bugs. The beds were made of metal so whenever we moved an inch it would make a loud noise. We arrived late so we were forced to stay but when speaking to the staff they did not take responsibility since we did not speak right away. Save your money.

THIS PROPERTY IS FILLED WITH CRIMINAL STAFFING!!! STAY AWAY!!!
I booked with them for two nights and an emergency came up, after contacting Expedia, I was told I would get my refund for the whole booking if not then just for one night which I totally understood. Several attempts were made to begin the refund process but for some reason, the manager is never around to approve the refund. I never checked into that inn yet they claim i checked in. I have evidence and proof that I wasn’t there at the time of booking. The surroundings isn’t appealing because the pictures are way different from how it actually is. You are better off sleeping on the streets than in any of the rooms

The property was not as described. I asked for a different location within the property, but was told that those rooms were not available because they were all \"smoking\" rooms, and I cannot stay in a smoking room. If this in fact the case at this property, then it should be noted by the ad that is put on the Hotels.com site. Will not stay at this or any other Americas Best on the Hotel.com site.

This hotel was right off the highway. I recommend staying in the back row. The noise from the constant traffic was loud. Running the AC all night helped relieve the noise. This hotel was very clean and updated. It was cleaner than most of the hotels we were in all week. The one complaint I I have is that it didn't have a coffee pot and the gas station/ mini mart was out of business.
