There was a problem in the area that knocked out the electricity. Wasn't really able to enjoy ourselves, not a fault of the motel. Was thankful that the windows opened so we could get fresh air as we slept.

Awesome!

not enough outlets- had to charge our electronics in the bathroom, pillows were uncomfortable- very thin. the room itself was awesome! Queen size bed was very comfy, Kitchenette had everything we needed, was well stocked with dishes and pans for cooking on the stove, plus a full sized fridge! access to the beach was great, wish we could have spent more time there. there is a Mc Donalds-5 minute just up the street. didn't like the coffee maker in the room (not a Keurig) but they do have one in the office you can use.( but i do understand why, they are expensive coffee wise, but i always bring my own pods, i like the flavored ones) I highly recommend this hotel, i would stay here again if i ever find myself traveling up to this area again!!

I've had better and no worse.

The room we were in has a half circular window on the door, which caused the outside light to shine directly into my eyes while trying to sleep. The bathroom counter was too small. Petal sink, no room for overnight and toiletries at all. The outside view was great to see Lake Champlain.

I reserved a room with a kitchenette but was given a "economy" room. L complained to Hotels.com just to have the two parties pointing fingers at each other. --The motel has a rating of 8.4. in reality it should be 6.2. not very nice with many things in need of repair. -- A cheap place to crash if that's all you need

Remodel of old is clean and comfortable

Two flights of stairs to negotiate. I asked for help with my luggage and got that. This is an old two Decker motel. Lovely Sandy Beach with sound of the waves in my room, which was an under room. Comfy bed and I slept well. McDonald’s was only 500 feet away for an egg breakfast.

Nice chill spot next to the water, but got some issues with weed smell and men making us feel uncomfortable and knocking on the door in the middle of the night. If it wasn’t for that I would definitively go back!

Nice place to stay on Lake Champlaign

This is a cheaper hotel, but the staff was very accomodating, the private beach was nice, bed VERY comfortable, and very clean -- just old. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Quiet, BIG room with kitchen, but don't expect a five star hotel. This is a great inexpensive alternative!

As an alternative to staying in Burlington, Golden Gate costs less, has beach front with a great lake view and is not far from the ferry dock. While the building may be showing its age, it does have a retro vibe and appears to be well maintained. I think having the kitchenette space is not a bad trade-off for a compact bathroom. Good value for travelers - especially in summer!
