Taking a breather.
Very convenient location, found lots of things to do close by. The cafe and lounge were amazing. The front desk staff were very helpful and informative regarding things to do in Bakersfield. The pool and hot tub (although the hot tub could have been warmer) were like being in a tropical setting! Loved our stay, would definitely come back.

Do NOT Stay at this hotel
Do not stay at this hotel. There was semen on the bed, dirty pillows, no gas to the building for hot showers, no cable in room, left hotel asking for refund and they refused. Avoid at all costs!!

They suck
I've already reviewed them the only thing they're good at is providing an appalling standard of care

Holds onto $100 hold for 6 days before releasing
Let me see
1/ false advertising they advertise a buffet breakfast included there's no buffet
2/ poor management manager promises to call in an hour weeks later never called
3/ poorly maintained rooms smelly carpet water stains on ceilings mid matched paint
Rude rude rude staff
We made the mistake of booking two non refundable nights before we stayed the second I wouldn't board a dog there

Stay in the compound. Downtown Bakersfield can be a bit sketchy, hotel has nice and accommodating staff. Hotel and rooms clean and affordable. Only criticism is the showers flood the bathrooms after use. BUT they’re great rain showers

In need of repair
Several things didn't work, were broken and or poor condition. It's no frills, but even basic things are in need of repair.
