We stayed in Driftwood Room #16. The room had one queen bed and a small bathroom with shower. The bed was comfortable and the electric baseboard heat kept the room cozy. The room was clean and basic. The only negative is that there is very little soundproofing between rooms, so we heard voices coming from the neighboring units as well... more

I have had negative booking experiences with the Golden Hinde Inn twice in the past six months! So, shame on me for even booking the second stay. In both situations, I had reserved weeks in advance, only to be contacted close to our stay with the same story that the inn was undergoing renovation during that time and the reservations... more

We stayed there 20 years ago, and were hesitant to return based on recent reviews. However, we booked one of their newly refurbished suites (no.2 of 1-3). It was one of nicest, best-appointed, and largest rooms we've ever stayed in. Big, comfortable bed, plus kitchenette. The $145+tax rate was competitive for the area. If the rest of their remodeling efforts... more

The staff is hostile, condescending, unhelpful, and arrogant. Our room was very minimal, the screen on the window was loose and bugs could get in, and the door lock was only the thumb latch and no other lock or chain. I jammed a chair into the door handle to prevent the door from being opened from the outside. I killed... more

We are sorry to read your review. You may have noticed that we are right in the middle of a huge renovation. I see that you did enjoy the location and when the property is finished with the remodel, we hope you'll give us a second look. Sorry about the spider - he wasn't a paying guest and isn't allowed.

We had a mixed experience at this hotel. We stayed in one of the rooms that has a kitchenette. There were many nice things about the room, such as its spaciousness and the gas stove that was lovely and heated the bedroom. The bathroom had a new synthetic shower stall, but the sink was right out of the 1960s, functional... more

I had stayed at the Golden Hinde Inn a few times and found it a reasonably priced place for the location (a little dirty and in need of remodeling, but affordable). But last April of 2007, I booked a night online and paid for it via my credit card, but the reservation was cancelled. I complained to the manager, Susan,... more

We try to please everyone, but cannot give credits and also have your credit card company reverse charges - that's a double credit to you.

We stayed in room 15 of the Golden Hinde. It was exactly what we expected from reading prior reviews. The hotel is older but clean. The room had been recently painted. It looks like they are slowly trying to fix up the place. It could use a new sitting table - it was older and had major scratches. It also... more

My girlfriend and I like to get away and do crafts (sewing and knitting), so we wanted a big space we could spread out in. We stayed in suite number 6, which has a bedroom and sitting room. Upsides: The motel's small beach and marina is right outside the sitting room. The sitting room really was spacious. The motel staff... more

The setting for this hotel is lovely - right on the water's edge. We paid $90 plus tax for a room with TV, hairdryer coffe maker etc. We had to do a short drive to get breakfast & the rooms are showing their age. But the place was clean enough & the price good for this neck of the woods.... more

Great location. We were in one of the smaller rooms. Room was fairly clean but had very old furniture and was generally run down. Door locks were iffy. Hotel staff nice and helpful. Large clean shower. more
