Love the hotel, location, and extremely charming room looking out the main street. As a cat lover, Skittles was a highlight as well as the coffee shop across the street. Definitely staying back at the Golden Gate Hotel in the future.

Would not recommend

Got there had to walk down the street and get the key from another hotel. Then my room didn’t have a restroom had to share it with other people. The people next door were really loud. Beds are very uncomfortable. Does not have EV charging even tho it says on the website. Horrible experience.

Great character hotel with flaws

I loved the character of the hotel and was generally pleased the stay. I really wanted to like it more, but it was odd that reception was only manned from 9-5 and the cat had to do the job outside those hours, nice though it was. We had to use the French-styled sister hotel down the road to check in, and the second time when we returned for a Wifi code, we were asked for ID when we had already shown it an hour before. Also, the breakfast was at the sister hotel and, with the best will in the world, it wasn't very good. Also, the hotel would have been fine without a TV as it doesn't really fit with the old world style, but in the event, it had one that only received one channel, and that had no sound. We could have told reception but the cat didn't seem to care.

This was a lovely quaint hotel that had a lot of history behind it. It was my first time staying in a shared bathroom situation but it was actually quite painless and lovely! Also their hotel cat is the cutest little helper and she slept with me all nights I stayed ❤️ I would definitely stay here again.

Loved it except free breakfast ...

Loved staying there. Was quiet. Free breakfast good but exactly the same offerings for 5 days was a little disappointing. Bacon, eggs, bread (hard), cheese slices, 3 cereals, juices, cheap yogurt, coffee and milk.

Amazing hospitality at the Golden Gate Hotel. The staff is friendly and prompt to help customers. Ares were clean and cozy. Enjoyed the tea and coffee provided and the smooth link with the next door partner hotel for breakfast and after-hours check-in. Overall a lovely experience, including a beautiful car who is the soul of the place. Thank you!

Location is the positive

Location is great but the positive just about. ends there, well, the lobby is also nice enough. The rooms are barely big enough for the bed. The breakfast in 'bed and breakfast' is in another hotel, and was lacking. The sharing of a bathroom is a hidden when purchasing. And that's a big issue when others are leaving a messy bathroom—one neighbor had peed on the floor without cleaning up. If you can get a bathroom in your room—check carefully—then it would be been an 'ok' place to stay. At the convention prices paid of over $250++ a night, we won't be back.

We loved our stay here. We knew we wouldnt be spending much time in the hotel, but would want a cozy and comfy place to sleep and it was perfect. The bed was super soft. I do wish I had known that breakfast was actually at the sister hotel a few doors down, so you can't just pop downstairs. Also, the king beds are two twins, but given the tight staircase it makes sense. It was easy to get around the city from here and was the perfect homebase.
