"We have just returned home from our three night stay at Monika's. The beds are so comfortable, rooms spacious and oh so quiet. We did not hear a thing inside or outside the entire time we were there. Beautiful views surround the area. Hope to return soon to check out some hiking trails. Thanks Monika."

8/10 Good
"Dated Sept 12, 2026 Despite all the terrible reviews we have seen the hotel room was very clean and the beds were very good. We enjoyed our stay and if we ever return to Gold River that is where we will stay. On the other hand we went to the other hotel's restaraunt to have a bite to eat and even though we only ordered an appetizer it took over 45 minutes to get our food."
