Golden Star Motel

First let me tell you, DO NOT EVER STAY HERE. EVER!!! Across the street there is ALL STAR LOUNGE is 100 times better and worth the extra $ 10-​$ 15 more for night.
My in law booked a reservation for us to stay for a family trip, he didnt do much research or paid online. When we pulled up we looked around and was ghetto as fuck, I’ve seen Oakland look 10 times better. Had guys come ask us if we wanted to buy an in dash tv/​dvd player to install in our cars like yeah no! We checked in to both our rooms, I paid cash and he paid with his card. When we walked in, our room smelled like marijuana and let me tell you the stains on the sheets with burnt holes EVERYTHING about the rooms sucked!
I have a 4 month old baby boy and I was disgusted, I decided to get him and my wife out of the room IMMEDIATELY! My in laws room wasnt as bad but the sheets looked horrible, we tried to get a refund, they gave my cash back but he was screwed. It wasnt even 10 mins that we were there and they said no refunds, now I get it if its a plain simple reason to leave, but when its health concerns and having a baby with you? REALLY no refunds! we left immediately across the street where the service was polite and the rooms were GREAT! I mean for 60 bucks, you got a way cleaner bed, bathroom, and smell, atmosphere all around!
NEVER EVER GET A DAMN ROOM HERE, YOU WILL BE DISSAPPOINTED! GUARANTEED!
UNLESS YOURE GHETTO AS FUCK, THEN OK GO AHEAD !

I would give negative stars for this place if I could.
First of all, just the look of this place is ghetto as fuck. The handle of our room was super difficult to open. The smell of the rooms were horrible, smells like bad cigarettes and made everything I owned, including ourselves, smell like stoges. There were cig burns all over the covers, we didn’t dare use their sheets and blankets. All the furniture was ripped and ragged. And the walls were dirty, as if they don’t even clean the place. The family next door to us was loud as hell and their kids were running around all over the place and playing in front of our room window early in the morning screaming. This whole area is pretty ghetto. We had other friends staying at other motels around us and the rooms were way cleaner. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. We just needed a place to crash but I’d rather sleep in my car than stay at this piece of crap.

Bed Bugs, Rude Customer Service and Dirty Towels.

So we chose this place because it was closest to the San Manuel Amphitheater and it actually had good ratings on TripAdvisor (it had 5 stars, BS). We pull up to the place and it literally feels like the Projects, I’ve lived there before, families staying there, there’s kids running around, all kinds of sketchy shit going on around us and 2 guys posted on the stairs checking us out. I knew what to expect when I saw this sight and we were definitely going to be a little more careful and a little more sober when we got back then desired just to not get into any trouble, I figured one of us would get stabbed for sure. So we check in and walked into my buddies room first straight up smells like cigarettes, don’t think they had a single non-​smoking room, so I start kinda choking and about to puke. Finally make it up to my room just a little worried of what to expect and I open the door and it looked fine. I sit on my bed and nothing but cigarette burns on the top cover my buddy said the same on his and I didn’t tell him but when I looked over at his I definitely saw some happy stains shimmering. We called a cab for the show and our cad driver pretty much confirms what I thought, he says we picked a hotel in the worst part of town and not to trust anyone or let them come up to you. So I get a little worried before we left we noticed there was an extra latch on our room and it said use for your own security, well it was broken. So I figured we were going to get back to our rooms broken into. Nope! That was a plus we got back and everything was pretty much fine besides the random guy that kept jumping into cars. Finally head to our rooms to fall sleep and I get woken up around 6am thinking something is going down in our bathroom, oh yeah I forgot to mention our bathroom fan is broken but still spins and grinds and hits and makes all kinds of metal on metal noises so I woke up in a panic for nothing this time. I get woken up again maybe around 8−9am to something hitting one of the surrounding walls, there was some kind of domestic dispute going on, yelling and I think this woman got beat. So that’s pretty much my story, oh yeah if some guy with a beard and missing teeth in a hoody comes knocking don’t be scared he works there and is probably there to give you a towel, looks like a straight bum though.

Can I give this place a negative million stars? Came here for Beyond Wonderland, so I guess the only cool thing is that the spot was completly taken over by PLUR people and people didn’t care how loud our music was or the shenanigans we were doing. Anyways, first of all the bed sheets were not even clean and had cigarette burns in them. The bathroom had horrible circulation and looked hella nasty. Ouer socks were literally black after walking through the room… gross. The only arm chair that we had in the chair was supposed to be purple, but it was so dirty that it was black! I had to convince my drunk friend to not throw it out the room. The only up part was there was a huge empty spot that fit my massive air mattress. However, when I slept down there I woke up the next morning with a huge spider bite on my butt. Overall, nasty, crack head spot. Next time I won’t trust dumb people to find a spot for us to stay at.
