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.

Clean room, bed a little lopsided, air not working well and a little noisy- room was comfortable but warm at night. Overall, for a small hotel we were pleased. Small area had tons of rafts etc. for use in the pool.

The only bad thing that I can say about this place is that there is no food on site. Room was clean (and a little retro), beds were comfy, staff was excellent and helpful, and the Bahi Hut drinks were the best!

Great little motel at a reasonable rate. The pool area was fantastic and general areas were modern and set the holiday tone. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice but cleaning was the only thing I would fault, the room was surface level cleaned but the cleaners need to remember to clean under things and behind the beds

Friendly and fast check in and check out, the room was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable. Our room was away from pool so it was quiet, pool is big and deep and open until 10pm, very nice, good old tiki vibe. Old but clean hotel.
