The Golden Host Inn is great place to stay. It is cute and nostalgic. It is an older property that has been refurbished. The pool is really pretty. The tiki bar has a lot of character. All the linens are clean and fresh. The price was very reasonable and my husband and I had fun.

The bed was very comfortable, the staff was great, and the bar was very fun with great original drinks. The room itself has very cute retro style decoration that definitely stands out. The shower curtain unfortunately, was a little bit on the short side so the water was not completely contained when in use. And lastly the faucet for the hand sink felt very loose. That being said, it was a great stay and will like to return.
