Staff is professional and helpful. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is good. Air works pretty good. Parking is free. Wifi works good. Plenty of food places to ear a super Walmart nearby. Only downside for me was the coffee but Starbucks is across the street and not enough towels but I would stay again
Avoid at all costs. The room smelled horrible outside all night people walking around with beer in thier hands. If you have a family don't even think about this place to save a few bucks. If I would have known I would have driven to my destination instead of this dump. Only positive was the staff was nice
Room was clean air conditioner worked pool was clean opened in the morning service was nice but the breakfast choices could have been better something to go with the waffles maybe a fruit choice or some hard-boiled eggs would have been nice just waffles or cereal would be good for the kids snacks but most definitely lacking breakfast protein. The staff was friendly no other complaints we would totally stay there again but knowing the lack of choices we would prepare

Yeah, it was reasonably priced. Staff was nice. Breakfast was a bit laughable, I just got coffee. 25 cents for ice also made me giggle.

They were accommodating when it really mattered. We had a small issue around check out related to extending our stay. But it got resolved in a fair manner.
The staff here is amazing! I feel like I'm coming home every time I go here. When I arrive, they already have a key ready for me. The Delux rooms are extremely nice, and they come equipped with refrigerator and microwave. Also, if you need to get any work done on laptop, they have a nice desk for you to use. WiFi is free and cable tv is great. Beds are nice and comfy, and the air conditioner blows really well. You'll love it here..
The price is right , The hotel was clean , I asked for a bottom room because of my wife’s bad knees . They put us infront of three handicapped parking spots . Everyone checking in parks in those three spots ,People parked there all night talking and smoking cigarettes , we had to turn off our air conditioner . Don’t get a room near the office . Great location in Bakersfield .
Staff was wonderful. Check in and out was simple. Room was decent and worth it. Only slight inconvenience was one towel to at had hair in it but housekeeping can always give you some that are better. Worth the price if you need somewhere to stay on a budget.
