Gold Coast hotel rooms a the Independent

"Courteous and informative staff (even at 1:30 in the morning!). Quiet building. Plenty of free parking. Fridge & micro in the room. "

"We spent a week here with two dogs and somehow it was not a nightmare. The room was quite large and carpet-free which is a good thing with pets. The beds were a bit too hard, the pillows excellent. The thermostat is over-engineered and incomprehensible. Great shower. Badly-placed light switches. And the free breakfast was not a high point. So, if I have some complaints, why five stars? Two things: the vibe. I know that's vague, but JHouse has a great vibe. And second: Tony's restaurant. 5 meals and not a step wrong. The staff is professional and motivated. The food is excellent as is the bar. It's a fun place. Long years ago I waited tables and I'd have liked to work at Tony's. My sole complaint? The soup spoon was too small and I wanted that lobster bisque in my mouth faster. Add a bakery right across the street, a gourmet food store, a pet store a block away, and all the Autumn colors in November. In all, a lovely experience. "

"Clean room"

"Amazing! Renovations are awesome. Pool was gorgeous and food is excellent. They have a new chef, new menu and pool side bar. Very accommodating. We live in the area and came here as a staycation with the pool the last week of summer. Staff is lovely and grounds are lovely as well. Maria the owner was very attentive and went out of her way for guests. Great place-they have come a long way. A true gem in Norwalk-the breakfast is delicious too "
