I was very dissapointed in the Golden Inn. I was treated rudely while checking in and was embarrassed. When I got to my room, I found something that looked like feces on the toilet bowl. There were candy wrappers and toe nails behind the night stand. Unfortunately, I didn't say anything and cleaned the toilet myself. The next morning, I... more

This hotel is overpriced and is below average, at best. Do not be fooled by the nice lobby. It all goes downhill from there. The rooms are in serious need of upgrades... while the prices need to be downgraded. The only thing going for this hotel is that it's right by the beach. But guess what? Avalon/Stone Harbor are located... more

I stayed at the Golden Inn many times over the years and it has been hard and disappointing to see its decline. This place is in a terrific location, right on the beach and at the border of Avalon/Stone Harbor which allows you to walk into Stone Harbor to shop or get something to eat or an ice cream at... more

I find trip advisor to be a useful tool when planning a trip. This is my first reveiw. Hopefully it will help you avoid what I just experienced. I was quoted at $250 for the night of my stay. It came to $281 after taxes. When I checked my bank account two days after my trip I noticed that they... more

We just stayed at Golden Inn. The check in allowed entry at 3pm. Our room was not ready until 3:40. The front desk staff was pleasant and apologetic. But if they insist you leave promptly at 11am then they should get you in on time. When I called about a month or so before our arrival date to make a... more

We have stayed at the Golden Inn the past few summers and always a pleasant treat....this hotel is the best of the shore hotels in Avalon and Stone Harbor, and the least like a beach motel....rooms have all been renovated..they are quiet without the din of hundreds of air conditioners in an alley, like many beach hotels, and the location... more

Attended a conference, which was great, but the food service was lousy. Out of the three days there, each and every day, desert was carrot cake, cheese cake, and cookies. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. This to add insult to injury, the food was not top shelf. Arrived Friday noon, and beef, in vinegar and onions, Dinner, more beef cut up... more

I stayed at this hotel several times. The restaurant experience has been terrible all the time. Bad food, very expensive, poor service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone more
