Golden Hills Motel

One of the worse motel experiences I’ve had throughout the country.
Positives:
1. Cheap for the area
2. No bed bugs
I wanted to start off with those core positives as my experience may have been an outlier. But when I first checked in the room smelled like urine, although it may have been from a leaked liquid from the previous guess. I knew it smelled bad, but didn’t think much of it because I wanted to hurry up and get dinner before the local restaurants closed. But when I came back and was walking around with socks, I happened to feel the particular wet spot.
I then went over to the front office to just tell them what I had experienced. I wasn’t confrontational. The employee, however, was argumentative saying no refunds after x amount of minutes and why didn’t I come tell him right away… He then told me that the rooms were full. (Which is reasonable) He didn’t tell me anything of the sort of fixing our situation the following day.
Well, the next morning they seemed to have their better employees working. They checked on our room and proceeded to move us into another room that was suitable.
All that I’m saying is that this was one of my worse motel experiences out of living in motels for 5 months. Why didn’t the motel’s maid say anything with that awful smell?
If you’re in the area looking for the best deal without worrying about bed bugs, this is still an option. But for me, never again.

It’s a great hotel for the price. Nothing fancy, but it’s clean, safe & quiet. I visited Tehachapi for almost 3 years & stayed here each time I went. Never had any issues. I love the owner & his family.

It’s ok. The price is decent for State Employees… and the owners wife is wonderful. If you deal with her, everything will be fine. Internet works great. Tv does not have many channels, but enough.
The main thing that got to me was the stingyness of the owner. He, on every occasion I dealt with, reminded me of why there is a stereotype for cheap haggling arabian salesman. Won’t be staying here again.
