The Golden Goose is situated near the merchant estates near the northeast part of Bruxelles. It is one of the largest inns in the city, with almost 100 rooms to rent. The wealthy and affluent merchants visiting Bruxelles can be found at the Golden Goose. It has three distinct drinking parlors off of its lavish two-story foyer.
Approaching the inn, one is first impressed with the yellow stucco of its walls. The main part of the inn is a massive stuccoed structure 5 stories high and takes almost an entire city block. Two wings extend off of the main structure and house the majority of additional rooms this inn has to rent.
Entering the main foyer, one is first greeted with the largest two story room they may have ever seen short of a temple or cathedral. An arched balcony colonnade extends around the three sides opposite the entry door. In the center of the space spanned by a rich dark stained beam roof is a small hut built in the center of the massive room. Curiously, it has no walls from the middle up but does have beams that support a thatched roof over the space it occupies. Golden yellow marble counters run all the way around the half wall that separates the room from the rest of the foyer.
Several smartly dressed attendants man the desk and when approached snap to immediate attention and ask if they can be of service. Guests who select to stay in a room are escorted by yet other attendants to their rooms.
Arches off of the foyer lead to large wooden ceiling rooms with a bar and plenty of tables for the numerous guests who frequent the inn. Many others can also be found utilizing the amenities of the Golden Goose's facilities.
The proprietor of the Golden Goose is a large golden haired dwarf by the name of Oscar Steelsword. He manages one of the most comfortable inns in the entire city. The Golden Goose lives well up to its name, being one of the most expensive inns in town and all for obvious reasons.
