Very cute place. Good location. Easy. My only complaint is the restaurant. It’s loud. Too many TVs. There was an event going on in one of the banquet halls the night we were there are there’s no way we could have enjoyed dinner over the roar of the party. I was just expecting something better. But we walked to the Botanist and it was great! We’d definitely stay again.

Very nice and comfortable hotel with great food, drink, and coffee options within. There was no gym, which I would have preferred instead of a second or third restaurant. The staff was overwhelmingly helpful and nice. The corner room was also wonderful except there were a few pieces of leather missing from the headboard, a strip of faux-cement paper missing from the coffee table, and no fitted sheets used for the mattress or available for the pull out. There were just normal (not fitted) sheets instead. These small things were just kind of odd compared to the beauty of the remainder of the room. Overall a very nice experience at this hotel, especially for this price, and I would stay here again. Completely not the hotel’s fault, but there are some homeless/drugged out people walking around outside unfortunately which was quite a contrast to the inside of the hotel. Fortunately, there is someone standing a the door at all hours and it feels safe once you get near the hotel.

Begin with the valet and front desk staff is super helpful and welcoming.

My A/C went out during my stay (100* Days) and they were prompt to move me to another room when I notified them, however the security who brought my new room key did not offer to assist me carry anything. The move occurred at midnight and they were only concerned with getting the key returned from the old room vs offering to help, which I found odd.

Nice spot! Seems recently updated, had a decent restaurant, helpful staff, and a good location. Both elevators were out during our stay which wasn’t great for folks with luggage on higher floors (or housekeeping staff), might also be a flag for folks with limited mobility.

Bakersfield. We arrived late ish and had a drink downstairs in the bar. Then went to a few dive bars within a few blocks. The homeless were harmless and we had a great time! The hotel was beautiful. BF was a great stop on our way to Long Beach. 💛

I booked this hotel as a splurge to celebrate my husband's birthday. I called the property ahead to verify that the suite I was booking had a separate living and bedroom and was told that it did. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the room was one large room, no walls. It was fine, but just not what I had in mind for this price. We were traveling with our family, and the lack of any privacy was a bummer. A large part of the room's total square footage is bathroom, and it is quite a grand bathroom. I was looking forward to a soak in the jetted tub, only to find out that the jets didn't work. One of the two elevators was also broken, so the remaining small elevator was painfully slow and busy. We took the stairs most of the time, all the way to the 7th floor. Another reason I booked this property was the rooftop bar, I thought that would be so fun for a birthday celebration. Again, closed. Overall, it is a nice hotel, but not at all what I thought I was getting for a special occasion. The staff was very friendly and helpful, this is no reflection on them. I just wished I had known upfront how many parts of the hotel were broken or closed before booking.

I was kind of hoping for great welcoming warm staff. Other than the Valet, we really didn't get that. The hostess could use some training in being more discreet. The room was nice, the elevator takes FOREVER.... Getting a discount at the bar/restaurants would have been a big perk

We would have appreciated if the front desk staff pointed out that there is no bell hop service and bringing the luggage rack to your room is DIY, so instead we waited for an hour to get our luggage upstairs. The valet service was wonderful and accommodating of my needs. The room 603 was awkward regarding the inability to isolate the toilet from the rest of the room due to the open back entrance to the bathroom.

My buddy and I rode there on motorcycles and parked in the Valet parking area. Within about 6 hours, $5000 worth of gear was stolen off our motorcycles. This will probably be the last time I stay at the hotel.

Generally nice. Rooms/bathroom very dark - not a single overhead light in the entire room (and I was in their largest suite.)
I suppose they hadn’t considered that many women wear make up and need light for that.
Impossible to do my make-up (even in the morning) as bathroom too dark, no lighting on desk, no plug on desk for mirror.

The staff is courteous, polite, very helpful with every need you may have, they go out of their way to accommodate you. The valet parking is wonderful and they always open your car door and meet you at hotel door to open it as well. As far as the food goes, I’ve mostly ordered my food from the hotel menu and have to say everything has been very good! I traveled with a 13 lb multipoo and a small parrot and the only downside was having to cross 2 streets for the dog to go potty, I’m in my late 60’s so was a little uncomfortable in late night early morning hours as this Hotel is downtown so there are a lot of vocal homeless people out in the area But I would defiantly stay here again just wouldn’t bring my dog.

I mean, it’s Bakersfield. Lots of cool things in Bakersfield, but it’s not a city known for being a tourist Mecca. The hotel, though, has a really
Interesting history and if you are heading through it’s a kind of different place to stay, way better than a typical cookie cutter chain. More like a big city old school vibe. Good bar. Food was excellent.

Good stay not great. Second nite a low base hummm noise cycled on and off till 2 am, and i got vey little rest. I was in room 512. My siblings were in 412 and 312 and reported the next morning the same problem.
Not sure if it was noise from the wedding party or something emanating through the hVAC system or ?

Exceptional hotel. The staff was extremely friendly, and the rooms were immaculate and stylish. It’s the perfect boutique hotel in the center of downtown Bakersfield.

This isn’t a Hilton, Radisson, Home2 Suites, or any other cookie-cutter chain hotel with bland décor and zero personality. You’re staying at a true boutique hotel with real charm and class.

It’s not a utopia—parking can be inconvenient. Valet runs about $18 a day, and street parking is limited. That said, it’s still highly recommended.

Hotel is beautifully restored, room was clean and bed was comfortable, although wasn't a fan of the glass wall between shower and bedroom.
I won't stay here again, however, because I was initially given a key to someone else's room. When my key didn't work on the room initially assigned to me, I returned to the front desk for help. The same staff person who had just checked me in informed me, smiling, that the room was actually occupied by another party. No apology, no apparent concern that she tried to send me to another person's room. (The front desk wasn't busy when I checked in, and I wasn't in a rush. There's no reason the staff couldn't have checked the room was already occupied before sending me there.)
I'm a solo female traveler, and this is a red flag. I won't be back.

Clean, comfortable large room and bathroom. Furniture is worn and needs updating. Liked the big windows, bed comfy. Only one elevator working, we’d walk down stairs and I’d wait for the elevator going up…kids would walk up. Not a big deal for us, but if you rely on it could take a while or be very crowded. Breakfast was ok, not a lot for price paid. Staff person forgot my latte and I had to ask about it after three people behind me in line got their drinks.
