goldengoall.com — a reference to eighteen hotels

Every entry here is written from the hotel's own published material, from mapping services and from press coverage, and each one is read again before it goes on the site. There are no prices, no stars, no ordering by preference and no way to reserve a room. Where a fact could not be confirmed against a source, it was left out rather than guessed.

How this is kept

Hotels are chosen because the building, the sleeping arrangement or the setting can be described from evidence. Nothing is included on the strength of a press release alone. Sources are the hotel or chain website first, then mapping services, then reporting in the general press; where they disagree, the site keeps the narrower statement.

Entries are dated in the line of facts beneath them, so it is clear when the text was last read against its sources. Buildings change, seasonal structures vanish, and chains move address. If something here is wrong or out of date, a note by email is welcome and the page is corrected.
