What guests think

Across the reviews, Golden Hill Inn-Danbury is described as a basic, budget-friendly roadside motel that is frequently clean and maintained, with many guests satisfied for a short stay even as a few note issues that affected comfort or experience.

Rooms are simple and modern-leaning, but several mention harsh overhead lighting, a lack of bedside lamps, small bathrooms, and occasional noise from metal bed bases or uncomfortable mattresses. Service is often friendly and helpful, though some guests reported minimal assistance, inaccessible staff, or check-in and refund frustrations. The hilltop, highway-adjacent setting feels convenient for quick stops, but steep driveways, tricky access, and occasionally awkward parking are noted. Overall, expect a straightforward, no-frills overnight stay with variable comfort.

The Golden Hill Inn is on a little hill, so the entrance and exit driveways are steep. Which is actually pretty cool! It overlooks a part of town, and there is a convenient store literally right across the street, which is great... but also it has a feeling like the Inn is a separate place, elevated and off by itself. The room was standard, modern, and clean. The staff was kind and helpful.

Bare bones accomodation. Overhead lights in room incredibly bright and with no dimmers. No bedside reading lamps. Bathroom tiny. No wasterpaper basket there. On a very steep hillside with parking near rooms limited. Owner not rude but sullen. Expensive for what you get. Good place just to sleep immediately

Our room was very clean Just overhead lighting, no lamps. I couldn't get the hairdryer to work. Although the mattress was comfortable, The base of the bed was metal. The metal base made noise when you moved in bed. I would not stay again.

I love how the property sits atop a hill, on the corner. After settling in my room, I noticed the TV would not power on. I contacted the front desk and the woman came to my room with 3 remotes. Eventually she required an alternate. She went above and beyond to ensure I had a working TV. I appreciated that effort. Id recommend this location.

The room was gross I couldn’t stay for the night I ended up booking and staying somewhere else. The comforter had holes in it the room smelt awful, the air conditioning didn’t work, you had to walk far from the car to the building. The door didn’t work, I would never stay again it was a horrid experience.

The room smelled very strongly of harsh cleaner or disinfectant when we arrived. It was so strong and unpleasant that we left our door open with the fan on for a while even though it was very hot and we would have preferred to close the door and put on the AC. The room was clean and fine otherwise, but that smell was very unpleasant. This hotel is okay for the price.

The pictures are very deceiving. I understand is not a 5 star hotel, it is a motel but i hoped it would be clean. We traveled with a one year old so we moved the bed and found opened condom wrapped, hair, toe nails in the bathroom corner, dead bugs. The beds were made of metal so whenever we moved an inch it would make a loud noise. We arrived late so we were forced to stay but when speaking to the staff they did not take responsibility since we did not speak right away. Save your money.

This family run motel is very clean and the buildings are maintained. It isn’t a five star resort but it’s an exceptional value for the price paid. I travel a lot and I’ll be back!

The general concept is quite good... Low-maintenance surfaces for easy, thorough cleaning. Reasonably attractive. Plenty of workspace. The desk is ideal as a "center of operations". Lighting is a bit harsh but must aid effective cleaning. Security is more than adequate and hopefully better than it appears at first. That's how it is supposed to work. A/C is fine though it takes a while to know the best settings. Overall pleased with my stay.

THIS PROPERTY IS FILLED WITH CRIMINAL STAFFING!!! STAY AWAY!!! I booked with them for two nights and an emergency came up, after contacting Expedia, I was told I would get my refund for the whole booking if not then just for one night which I totally understood. Several attempts were made to begin the refund process but for some reason, the manager is never around to approve the refund. I never checked into that inn yet they claim i checked in. I have evidence and proof that I wasn’t there at the time of booking. The surroundings isn’t appealing because the pictures are way different from how it actually is. You are better off sleeping on the streets than in any of the rooms
