The hotel has a modern decoration elements, showing that some of it is remodeled although there are parts of the room that are obviously not remodeled such as the bathrooms specifically the toilet. The a/c also had a bad smell whenever it was turned on or it might have been the carpet that had odors which were magnified by the a/c. There was a strong smell of pee and I found a dead critter next to the a/c. The breakfast was decent, there were no warm food items like eggs, bacon, or sausages so plan for a lighter breakfast if you choose to eat here. There was also no pool although it advertises one on their pictures. Everything else was pretty decent, the beds and bathroom looked clean as well as the lobby, checkout is at 12pm meaning you have one extra hour compared to other places, and there is free parking. Overall it was decent if you can overlook the negatives.

This hotel served its purpose, providing a bed for the night, a short morning workout in the fitness room, and a decent continental breakfast. The thing I wasn't crazy about was the location. I discovered this area of Bakersfield has many homeless people lingering about. I am sympathetic to their plight, but I didn't appreciate when a homeless woman came begging for money just outside the front door of the hotel. The hotel itself was fine, but I will not stay here again because of the homelessness situation.

Parking did not feel safe.
Room had an unpleasant musty smell.
Although the room looked clean, the odor gave it a dirty feel.
The hotel charged a $25 incidental fee. It should be refunded in 3 days.
I expected more for the price.

The front staff on check in kept getting confused as I had privately booked another reservations as well. He actually gave me keys to room 303 private room for one night for this two night stay which was room 304. This required we move next day from room 303 to room 304, as per their policy they do not do any changes for reservations done with private vendors like
expedia, Travelocity, and others. We also had issues with room 303 booked privately. Bed sheets were dirty, discovered after midnight when returning to room. They had security bring up replacement sheets and I had to change myself all bedding. We found a pill next morning in room 303 which could be a hazard to children. I was disappointed as well to discover no outdoor pool available.

The room was clean. In fact, the whole property was clean and well maintained. King size bed was just ok. We were in town for the weekend and this property delivered what we expected. We will boom here in the future.
They had a nice bagel and breakfast bar.

My boy wanted to stay in a hotel for one more night when we drove from Yosemite to LA. This was the one we chose, and we are pretty happy about it. Safe, clean, easy to access the freeway. Breakfast is okay, not fancy. Parking is free, located in front of the hotel, it’s easy to get a spot. Generally, it was a good stay.

The room, beddings and towels were really clean (I checked it!) but the pillows and bed were not too comfortable. There is no coffee maker in the room. The parking area is not in a fenced area and shared by a restaurant and gas station, so it doesn't feel safe. There is a small fitness room with 3 exercise equipment but one is not working. The breakfast that comes with the room rate is standard fare - bread, cereal, oatmeal packets, cold boiled eggs, fruit, coffee. It would be nice if they include a few hot item like scrambled eggs and sausages. Overall, the hotel is fair considering that their room rates are not expensive (below $100/night.

Area isn't great but the room and hotel is clean and modern with a great breakfast. Security are present in the car park which balances the issues in the area (homelessness). Only issue was our room was right above the reception so was incredibly noisy and disruptive throughout. Pros and cons to our stay.

Hotel is filthy. Carpets leading up to room were stained EVERYWHERE. I should have taken that as a sign to leave the hotel because dirty carpets were the LEAST of my worries during my stay here. I came in Friday night at 1:30 am and had to be up by 6:30 am. Within those 5 hours of sleeping on that bed, I had bed bug bites ALL over my face. It was/ is horrendous, gross and embarrassing. The best part is I was not refunded for my stay, but given an awesome 5,000 points ($20 rewards bucks) for my stay! What a joke!

We were allowed early check in, which was great because we were traveling with pets. The hotel details did not mention dogs could not be left unattended in the room, this caused us to change our dinner reservations and plans for visiting family. The room was decent, not the cleanest, but also not the worst I’ve seen. There was a strange smell when using the ac unit. I was looking forward to a hot bath after traveling all day but the shower diverter was welded or glued up leaving the only option to shower. Wallpaper in the bathroom is loose, appeared to be taped, and not very well. Lots of noise and conversations happening in the hallway all night. Didn’t feel like the safest location to park your car but no issues there.

We had a late check-in and had no problems with the process it was fast and easy, so we were able to go straight to bed. The breakfast bar in the morning was good; they offered yogurt, muffins, oatmeal, and hard-boiled eggs. The room was clean and worked well for our one day stay. Most of all, the staff were super friendly and welcoming.
