I will never book at this hotel again. Very dirty, smelly, stuffy room. We actually saw a prostitute get dropped off in the parking lot. If it wasn’t so late and we hadn’t driven 5 hours, we would have definitely cancelled this reservation. The only good thing was the young man that checked us in. He was very nice and welcoming.

And watch out, they will photocopy your CC and refuse to give it back. Now I have to report it as stolen. On top of that, an extra $100 deposit in case you break anything. The room was already in terrible shape.

Horrible stay—dirty, unsafe, and bugs in the room. Honestly, the only decent thing about this place was the bed and not that comfortable. Everything else was a disaster—the room smelled like cigarettes, I found bugs, and the bathroom was gross with a clogged drain and a stained tub. It was my first time in Bakersfield, and the neighborhood felt incredibly sketchy with so many homeless people loitering outside, making me feel completely unsafe. Definitely not worth the money, and I will never stay here again. Make sure to pick the right La quinta.

I attended a festival about 30 minutes away, so the location was convenient and affordable, but unfortunately, you get what you pay for. On my last night there, someone knocked on my door around 5:00 AM trying to get in. I had seen a few vagrants around the area earlier, so I chose not to open the door. The surrounding intersection and area felt a bit sketchy overall, and because of that experience, I would not stay there again.

I’ve stayed at other La Quinta locations that were much better maintained and felt significantly safer. The breakfast was also underwhelming, although there are nearby diners like Denny’s and IHOP within walking distance, which was one of the few positives.

This was by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. The condition of the room was completely unacceptable. The bathroom had visible mold, there was red wig hair stuck to the shower walls, & nearly everything in the room looked stained, dirty, and poorly maintained. Even basic necessities were not functioning properly. The toilet ran nonstop, & then the handle broke off during our stay.

The pool area was just as bad. The walls around the pool were covered in what appeared to be black mold or heavy dirt. It looked so unsanitary that we would never consider swimming in it.

To make matters worse, the room did not even include basic amenities like a fridge or microwave. The photos on Expedia were extremely misleading & looked nothing like the actual property or room we were given.

What made the experience even more frustrating was the complete lack of customer service afterward. I contacted Expedia during the stay to ask if anything could be done because the conditions were so unacceptable. I was told they attempted to contact the hotel but could only leave a message. I asked for the complaint to be escalated or expedited, but nothing was ever done. I never received any follow-up from Expedia, & since we had already checked in, there was no meaningful assistance offered at all despite the condition of the hotel.

Overall, this hotel was dirty, poorly maintained, falsely advertised, & neither the hotel nor Expedia provided proper customer service to resolve the issue. I

Our recent stay at this property was deeply concerning, raising immediate alarms regarding personal safety, basic hygiene, and structural security. The check-in process was exceptionally slow, and the front desk staff was unprofessional. While my family waited in the lobby, the environment became hostile due to a major disturbance involving individuals shouting and attempting to escape from nearby rooms. This lack of security extended to the exterior premises, where active solicitation was occurring in the parking lot, and multiple guest room doors showed clear signs of forced entry with severely splintered doorframes. The room itself was entirely uninhabitable,it was thick with dust and experiencing extreme heat that quickly caused my son to feel nauseous. Upon inspection, the wall-mounted air conditioning unit was completely destroyed and inoperable. Furthermore, the property maintenance was unacceptable, featuring heavily chipped bathroom tiles, peeling caulking, and furniture with damage that appeared to be bullet holes. We felt physically unsafe and could not remain on the property. I strongly advise families to avoid this establishment until management addresses these critical safety and maintenance failures.
