Hotel Gosford

Hotel Gosford

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel is Beautifully restored. I especially loved the old lift !! The staff where amazing and the food was yum yum yum !!! The room was perfect at a great price. Just some small things - the Big TV (which was great - most places have ridiculously small tvs) was up next to the roof and in a small single room its just pointing to the other side of the roof instead of tilting down. And there where 2 small brown cockroachs that I killed. Otherwise an amazing stay that I will tell others about and will stay again."

Ocean Front at The Entrance

10/10 Excellent
"We had the room on the top floor where the king size bed faces the view of the ocean. The view from this room was just spectacular!! We never wanted to leave. The deck off the room is very large with comfortable chairs. The bed was very firm, but we asked for and were given a bed softening pad which helped. The room, bathroom and balcony have all been redone. The bathroom was beautifully done in marble-look tile. The shower was large with a nice height adjustable rain-head shower head. This was very welcome as my husband is 6’3”. One nice surprise is that in addition to a small fridge, the room was outfitted with a microwave, toaster, tea/coffee maker and mugs, plates, bowls and cutlery. They also supplied coffee and tea. The front desk was very helpful. We hope to come back and stay again."
