We didn't actually spend the night here--the rooms were too dirty. We were a party of five (my parents, my sister, my niece and myself) in the area for a family reunion. My parents had booked on the internet but when we looked at the rooms--dirty, cobwebs, grimy micro, stinky carpet, we went back to the reception and checked out.... more

I am SO happy that I followed my instincts & gave this place a chance. Under new management since March 2009 under Steve & Leah, the motel was a perfect stay for us. The owners & managers on site were so accommodating & helpful. I know they've had some negative reviews in the past, but truly it was a fantastic... more

I'm a princess. I am miserable in mediocre sheets, I wear shoes in showers, and cringe at any indication of sleaze or scum in hotels. I look for 4-star places. I've done my time in lesser lodgings. I was very happily surprised by the Golden Chain. Clean, crisp sheets, air conditioner works, 'fridge and microwave work, no smells, safe locks... more

We get an itch to amble along California's 49er Highway every few years. This time, mid July, we checked with a few Grass Valley area motels but because of the price -- and past experience there-- decided to stay again at the Golden Chain. We were not disappointed.

The staff has always been willing... more

I booked through the internet because of the pictures looked great and it is AAA approved. I can't beleive AAA rated this hotel. TV didn't work for 2 days, When they got... more

I am a consultant who travels frequently, here and abroad. One must take into consideration that some places are remote, choices of where to stay limited, and amenities not always what one is accustomed to. I must say the Golden Chain was worse than many motels in developing countries. Other reviews have attested to the condition of the place. I... more

My girlfreind and i were looking for a quiet little place to stay the night. We ended up with a terrable stinky and dirty room. The carpet was sioled with who knows what. The tiolet had matter on the seat, cobbwebs in every corner of the room.We ended up washing everything we brought into the room encluding our pillows because... more

Reserved room over Internet. Arrived and room was occupied. Waited three hours and was informed that the maid was in residence in my room and the sheriff was called to remove her. Waited another two hours and finally room was ready. Room was in terrible condition. I travel for business every week and have stayed in some older motels but... more
