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.

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.
