It was a great clean safe hotel (staying by myselft, I felt safe) The only addition would have been nightstands on both sides of the bed. I recently dislocated my shoulder so It was hard for me to have axcess . Other than that... great!

Liked: Cleanliness
Super clean and comfortable room. Very quiet, but stayed off season. Missed hot water for tea, and microwaving water in paper cups didn’t work. Would have been nice to have a shelf in bathroom near sink for personal items. Loved not having carpet in the room, and another huge plus was the almost scent free sheets and pillowcases on the bed. Didn’t have a problem checking in or accessing the room, but was slightly disconcerting not to have a deadbolt or security lock on the door of the room.

Fine but with caveats

Kasa Gold Coast is an unstaffed hotel. So you have to complete an identity protocol online before you arrive and any issues are addressed via text. The property’s “virtual front desk” noted a coffee maker in each room. When ours didn’t have one on arrival, the text response noted to use one of those little 2 cup makers in the lobby. The room itself was clean and in good repair but spartan. Only one nightstand which I hate as a couple traveling. The desk and chair heights don’t work together, so if you are traveling for work and need an actual desk to work from - what is provided is unusable. The room’s “deck” was just the exterior walkway which you can’t access from your room. The exterior walkway was covered in spiderwebs. So guest just walk by your window leaving you wanting to close the blinds to your bay view. Building and rooms are accessed via electronic locks, and rooms have no secondary deadbolts inside the rooms. The whole “virtual monitoring” is a bit creepy. Parking is easy. While it is a sufficient property, it would not be my first (or second or third) choice for another stay.

Very clean! Motel was reasonably priced and had everything we needed for a fishing trip. Management was very quick to respond to questions. Bed was comfortable. Only complaint - remembering codes (no key/key card)!

Room was clean, but out on the balcony was terrible, shut the curtains so we didn't have to look at all the cobwebs and bugs, that is all you could see from the way the bed was position, could not see the lake. Probably won't stay there again.

So remote and quiet. Only thing I would change is the door locks make very audible noises at random intervals. Other than that it was pristine and amazing with a very nice vintage guitar in the lobby so I was granted the opportunity to play a real Fender! Would definitely be back
