Nice chill spot next to the water, but got some issues with weed smell and men making us feel uncomfortable and knocking on the door in the middle of the night. If it wasn’t for that I would definitively go back!

Nice place to stay on Lake Champlaign

This is a cheaper hotel, but the staff was very accomodating, the private beach was nice, bed VERY comfortable, and very clean -- just old. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Quiet, BIG room with kitchen, but don't expect a five star hotel. This is a great inexpensive alternative!

As an alternative to staying in Burlington, Golden Gate costs less, has beach front with a great lake view and is not far from the ferry dock. While the building may be showing its age, it does have a retro vibe and appears to be well maintained. I think having the kitchenette space is not a bad trade-off for a compact bathroom. Good value for travelers - especially in summer!

room of my literal nightmares

I gave this place 1 star. I couldn’t give it zero. I’ve literally never written a review before but I feel compelled to write one on this place. All we needed was a room to sleep in for a few hours while driving up to Canada, so I booked a room here for my boyfriend and I after reading some decent reviews. This was the room from my nightmares. We started unpacking to go to sleep and I noticed 2 spiders in the corner; my boyfriend killed them. We started noticing them in the shower, in the window, the corners, and another on the pillow. The final straw was when I went to grab something from my bag (which was on the ground for no more than 10 minutes) and there was a spider crawling in my bag. I called the front desk for another room and thank goodness there was another one available. I explained to the man at the front desk our room was filled with spiders, his response was “oh man really? we usually spray for those.” We got to the next room and somehow it was worse. This room also had spiders crawling everywhere(including the bed), but this one had different types of spiders! We saw what looked like a wolf-spider crawl into the air conditioning unit and another nesting between the window and screen (in addition to 3 other types of spiders we found both dead and alive). We didn’t even check out. I called a different hotel and ended up staying elsewhere. Absolutely disgusting and I hope the others guests rooms were sprayed because who knows what else is crawling around there!

The furnishings were similar to what one might have at home, as opposed to a "commercial" or "institutional" appearance. The man managing the property was extremely friendly and helpful.

So nice to be right by the lake! And just a quick drive to restaurants and town. The property is clean and pleasant, but our only complaint was that our room had mosquitoes inside. After some aggressive towel swatting, everything was fine though. I would return just because of the location, the balcony had a nice view and you literally walk right on to the beach from the parking lot.
