We loved our stay at Gold Coast Inn!
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable room, great shower, nice room-darkening curtains. We also loved the easy check-in process, loved the view of the bay, and loved that we could walk to Woodland Sweets for ice cream.

Cons:

There was some road noise, but white noise covered most of it, and the hosts also provided complimentary ear plugs.

Cons:

Stay was dependent on use of internet. On day I was scheduled to check-in I received notice that internet was down. Cancelled. No refund. Will not consider booking there again.

Pros:

Clean rooms, great support from Kasa. Note this was a virtual hotel. No staff on site. Provided with entry code to building and room via email on date of arrival. Nice lounge with business center, books, available bicycle and coffee. Note no soda machines or ice machines on site. More like B & B.

We'll be back
Pros:

This was not my first stay here and I know it won't be my last. It's always clean and we have everything we need in the room. The contactless option for check in is nice and very flexible. Location is good. Very close to downtown and the roads leading up into the wine peninsulas.

Nice place to stay but no one on site to help if you need it
Pros:

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the view of the bay was great!

Cons:

Two of the three lightbulbs in our room were out. We asked for replacements and were told it could take 24 hours. The coffee supply in the lobby was low, and the garbage cans were overflowing.

Very disappointing.
Pros:

The view of the Bay. The room was clean.

Cons:

The description should disclose the fact that the rooms face the very busy main road. Very noisy . Even through the night.
The checkin process was a nightmare. Since there is no staff on site.
No coffee makers in the rooms. The refrigerator was tiny!!!!
While the remodel was very tastefully done, could have been better with a few more ameneniries and the layout of the room was odd, with the sink out in the common area of the room. We will not stay there ever again. Have other places in the area that are better.
