No reasoning with them either, they just said oh well management is charging you. AVOID THIS HOTEL**** Work brought me to Lancaster and got to stay at this hotel for 14 nights and I must say that location is the best part of this hotel. The second best thing is how modern and new this hotel is. It was defenitly better than what I expected. Plus, there's a Starbucks right next door which is a major plus. Reasonable price for all the amenities you recieve. Rooms are super nice and spacious. Loved the full kitchen and how everything was designed/set up. Bathroom was super spacious. The bed was super comfortable. Only negative thing is they charge $10 a night for parking yet my employee's Honda got broken into and they tried stealing it with "security" patrolling the lot. Thankfully the thief couldn't start the car. No cameras apperently in parking lot either. That's really the only negative of this place.

When we arrived in the room, it was a little warm, being that it was such a hot day. I wish we would have walked into a cooler room, but we quickly changed that. I noticed two minor dents in the wall and on the bathroom door corner. I immediately took pictures. Overall, the room was super clean. The mini kitchen was adorable. I have one little issue and that is the bed. The mattress where I laid was really sunken in and to me was not comfortable. It was a nice location and we felt safe. Would definitely recommend staying here.

It's called "States" it's huge weekends for softball players. The best of the best come out from different cities to compete. Our city alone brought about 80 people here. Players, siblings, grandparents, parents. 22-24 different families. Only 2 families had their personal issues here, and those odds are not bad! The kids LOVED it here! I'm sorry you are not gonna get peace and quiet until about 1030-11pm. Kids were playing hide and seek, ding dong ditch. It's annoying for the moment, but when are kids gonna make those memories. They play their heart out all day and deserve it. So chill out! The food was great! Unlimited waffles are huge with the kids. As far as breakfast, just be nice and go to the front desk, and they'll accommodate you another ticket. They have burritos to go for all the early birds, toast, oatmeal, and cereal. 3-4 self-serve juices. They give complimentary drinks 1 per person. A small bar area! Yes, the pool is crowded, but if they were to try to crowd control!! Imagine how many people would be pissed! The only ones that ruin it are the drinking adults that can't control themselves. They have 2 bbqs, propane filled and ready to use. Restrooms and tvs in dining area. If you're worried about noise stay away from 1st floor and balcony rooms.

Time flew by faster than expected and I was late paying for my room. I called to ask the manager to sit the stuff in the laundry room he yelled at me and told me her had my stuff outside, before hanging the phone up in my face. Mind you this is a bad area and there's all kinds of thieves and homeless people migrating around. I just don't think he treated me like a Loyalty Customer. Never have I ever been late paying for my room before. He literally act like he didn't know me. I've stayed here with no complaint throughout the summer with no AC AND throughout the winter WITH NO HEATING SYSTEM. Lodging conditions are definitely not all that hospitable especially to treat the guest the way they do apparently. I don't stay here every day but there have been times I've stayed over a week and was never late on payment. AND I WAS THE INLY TENNANT FOR THE WHIKE DURATION IF THE ALMOST TWO WEEK STAY. Other times I felt I would be late I called ahead like today but always showed up on time still. I work so I chose to stay here after coming back from a job that's in the area. Mind you the job consist of at home work. This manager put my stuff outside and I have over $3500 of work materials including Apple Mac books just sitting o. The curb because of how unpleasant the manager wanted to act towards me. I drive a 2023 luxury vehicle, DO I LOOK LIKE THE TYPE NOT TO PAY? I don't even understand what I could've done to deserve that. Other places I called and told them I wouldnt make it in time to pay and they were kind enough to put my things in their laundry quarters. I understand services have been slow and this property likes to do weekly and monthly housing deals with some of the only people who get Social Security checks. That doesn't mean treat your hotel guest in such a manor. If it's not a government check he's receiving from you... he's not interested in any conversation and excuses. He even threatened to call the police on me because I called back a second time. I'm just calling to make sure my things are straight. I mean the old man hung up on me in the middle of speaking. Ofcourse I called back. I thought the call had dropped but nope it turned out he didn't care about what I was saying or how I felt. Karma is a real thing and to be honest they're close to closing down soon anyways. I mean they live out of the front office and his wife is disrespectful any time she comes to the window. I've always bypassed any time of confusion and always walked on egg shells just asking for room service after staying a few days, and they'll get an attitude so I end up cleaning my own room and borrowing their supplies. Their is so much that I could be saying or could have said and didn't out of the kindness of my heart before hand and didn't. We'll now I have a reason to speak up. If I'm going to be treated in such a manor and I'm one of your guys most frequent visitor/guest why ?? Just why??? I don't understand but here we are. Happening actively pictures coming

    We were invited to a wedding in Tehachapi and the area didn't have any of the usual brands I liked…read moreto stay with. The Fairfield by Mariott Inn & Suites Tehachapi was one of the better options. In their price range, they had the better reviews by compare. Honestly there wasn't a lot of reviews or photos for businesses in this area, so I just made the best decision based on the information I was able to find. Check-in was at 3pm, but we would have to head out around 3:30pm so it would leave us no time to get ready. When I called the hotel, they said to check back at 12noon on the day of the visit because that's when they are able to see the check outs and availability to see if an early check-in was available. On the day of the wedding, I called and they said they can accommodate a 1pm early check-in at no additional cost. Yay! This gave us ample time to settle in and get ready. The room we got was narrow with a lot going on like a long hallway. We came in and there was the bathroom. Hairdryer is provided but it's in the closer. Then there was a semi kitchen area with a microwave and a fridge. This is great because not many hotels have microwaves these days. Then there was a sofa area with a tv. And then finally the bedroom area with another tv. The WORST THING about this hotel is the bed. The metal bed frame stuck out and my boyfriend and I hurt ourselves multiple times bumping into it. Also the bed wasn't too comfortable because my sleep quality was poor and I woke up with back pains. Good thing it was just one day. And the pillows were like small tiny half pillows. My boyfriend joked about shrinkflation. Additionally the walls are thin. You can hear the nearby doors close. So it wasn't the best for resting. Another complaint is that their shower leaks a lot of water from the faucet which wastes water and also gives less water to the showerhead. Total waste. The gym area had minimal equipment. 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, 1 bike, 1 stairclimber, and 1 weight bench with a weight rack. What really bothered me was that there was no cleaning equipment. I also doubt staff cleans up much because the water was out when we looked on Saturday afternoon and still out Sunday morning. It was still nice to get a work out in. My boyfriend wanted to run in high elevation so he went on the treadmill and I went on the elliptical. They also have an indoor pool that we didn't check out because it was closed on Saturday, during the day time. It's an indoor pool because Tehachapi gets all 4 seasons, including the snowy winter. Breakfast is included. Not the best but edible. Enough to get us started in the morning and make our way in the direction of home. We both ate the scrambled eggs and bacon. The bacon was thin and bland. I actually wished I grabbed less which is rare for me with bacon. My boyfriend had a muffin and he was able to toast it. I had a waffle that was okay but probably been sitting there for a while. We both had orange juice which was definitely watered down from concentrate. Not good enough to get a second cup. My boyfriend also tried their coffee but he said it was bad so I didn't get any. I didn't see any staff at the desk when we checked out and I didn't get any email to self check out so I just left my room keys in a basket of all the other room keys I saw behind the desk. A decent option FOR THE AREA... but I'm not really trying to be in the area if I wasn't obligated to.

This building must be infested with Bedbugs! These critters got into everything we brought into the room and the staff were very dismissive and refused to admit there may be a problem. Take caution when staying here! Absolutely a pitiful example of what most Marriots represent!

When I entered the room I could smell the bleach which assured me the room was cleaned. My room overlooked the parking lot so I could keep an eye out on my truck. The room was small but ok. There was a fridge and some complimentary coffee tea items. There was a small desk, a wardrobe to hang clothes, but no microwave which is ok. The hallway was quiet, no crazies in the lobby or hallways. The clientele is pretty much corrections, military and contractors. Staff were professional, engaging and helpful. If in CAL City, I do recommend this Best Western.

And this was my fourth visit. I use this hotel because they have a jacuzzi room. Yes you read that right a room with a large jacuzzi that sits two over sized people easily! Bring your Epsom salts maybe a bath bomb if it isn't a sudsy type as they'll bubble up too much with any type of bubble bath. Sit as long as your can handle without shriveling up and I can guarantee you'll feel like a whole new person the next day! The shower isn't anything to boast about. As anyone who reads my reviews knows I hate standard fixed shower heads in hotels it makes them feel old and like the Bates Motel to me. So they lost a star for that but the water can be tempered to those of us that love super hot showers. There is a hairdryer connected to wall. I didn't notice if it's locked down or if you can use it say at the desk to sit comfortably while drying, but it's there nevertheless. This room includes a king sized bed that's comfortable. Not the most comfortable ever, but it does allow you to get in a good slumber. They have a few movie channels on the tube and you can plug in your own hdmi device. The hotel offer breakfast from 6-9AM daily. I wish hotels would adopt a 6-11AM attitude. Some people are actually on vacation and would like to get dressed then come down and eat as they leave for their adventure's of the day. It can interrupt the flow having to go down grab food as you have to get dressed to leave your room. But that's just my lil opinion. But I'd say if your in Cal City and looking for an overnight. This is the place!!!
