nice place to spend the night
For those seeking a moderate priced motel that is clean and comfortable in this area, Golden Hills is an excellent choice. A short distance out of town and not much to look at exteriorly but the rooms are large, comfortable, clean and well taken care of. I can highly rate Golden Hills for overnight acommodations.

This is a basic service motel. It was clean. The bed was fine. We were passing through and it met our needs. The price was right.

My sister and I were beginning a section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail and needed rooms for the night. The price was right for what we needed. Not fancy, but a hot shower and a good nights sleep.

Better than park bench, or was it ?
Better than sleeping in my car, but not worth $70 per nite. Peeling toilet seat. Dead baby roach on bathroom floor. Bed short sheeted for no reason. Overlooks very busy road, so noisey. But nowhere else to waitout auto repair, so trapped for 3 nites. Pluses..it had heat & air & running water !

Affordable and clean, but old.
The motel is on the western edge of town and quite peaceful. The motel is an older property, the towels were clean, but thin. The bed was very firm.

I was locked in my room overnight due to a malfunctioning deadbolt lock. The upside, I was safe, good bed though. In the off chance that YOU do read these responses, let my know who paid the $53.30 charge on the room. My receipt shows the last 4 digits as NOT belonging to any card in my possession.

Dear Thomas, Your reservation was pre-paid from Expedia so you already paid them and expedia paid us with their credit card.

Not worth the price
I am not sure how Expedia-AARP could recommend this motel. The ratings for this motel are questionable as this place has too many undesirable features. We would not recommend this facility to family and friends, especially those with kids. Just 7 minutes away you will find a Marriot and Best Western wich are both safe, good pricing, breakfast, hot water and good service. $65 for a nights stay at Golden Hills Motel but definitely not worth being economical. Save your money and pay a little more @ Best Western.

Two stars tops
If you just need a roof and running water this is it. Shower had mold all along edges and the toilet seat was the pressed wood that was swollen with use. The gave one washcloth for two us, when I asked for a second they said they didn't have anymore but would get one (never did). We couldn't properly close the blind to for privacy if we opened for sunlight. Bare bones, basic. If it's all you can afford it's shelter to sleep, wash and get out.

The room was clean. It took the hot water a good 4 minutes to heat up to shower. When checking in, the clerk seemed confused because we changed bed size. He tried to charge us for a 2nd room?

Clean, No-Frills Spooky-Looking MOTEL
This was an overnight stay for the Tehachapi Grand Fondo cycling event the next day. Arrived at 10 pm with wake-up time at 5 am, so I only used the room to sleep. Motel looks spooky, but the room was clean. The dorm-size fridge was adequate to keep my drinks cold. Only complaint: The toilet "ran" (in Room 118). *** One has to drive 2 to 3 miles for stores, etc. PRICE WAS RIGHT!!

Great adorable place!
I have stayed here at least four different times. The front desk gentleman is very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and decent. Older rooms and furniture but for my Son and I it's perfect! The wifi is great to and I have to have it for my job. I will continue to stay here when I can!

Great for the price! Will Stay again in the future
The hotel is an older hotel, but it is clean compared to some of the places I have stayed that were supposedly four stars. The front desk man was very nice an friendly. He called me to ask if I needed room service or anything. I read the other reviews and I'm glad I actually went and stayed to form my own opinion. I would definitely stay here again. The wifi was decent too! If you want high class and want to pay high prices go some place else. If you know how to be content and appreciate a decent hotel and a decent price then you will like this hotel as I did.

No Frills Motel That Gets The Job Done
I've stayed here multiple times and have had a good stay. The front desk staff are pleasant to deal with. The rooms have a weird smell to them, but they are clean overall. I wish the showers were a bit bigger and the televisions were newer instead of old school CRT, but other than that it's not a bad place to stay. More pillows would be nice as well. It's priced pretty well, however I think it should be about 10 dollars cheaper. It's in a safe location. I would stay here again.
