I'd have no trouble returning to the Golden Age Motel. Pleasant staff. 4.5/5 You gotta try homemade pies at coffee corner cafe!

Vic GoustavskyNovember 25, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful accommodation. Booking direct online was simple, and immediate replies were terrific. Great communications. On arrival we were met by the wonderful and helpful Sofija. We even received an upgrade to a King suite which was quite the surprise and very much appreciated. The room was large, clean, and comfortable, and even had everything you would need to bring your take-away dinner back to your room (they even had salt/pepper shakers!). It's the little things that keep us coming back to Golden Age Motor Inn.

Stayed one night after driving up from Eden, preparatory to a medical appointment next day. A superbly comfortable toom, plush beds and great bathroom, much as we've expected after many previous visits. The new coffee machine and complementary cakes were a very welcome bonus ! So lovely to keep coming back here and finding the quality so consistently great. Ann PalmerNovember 3, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
