Travel tips
Since the hotel is several miles from most of Bakersfield's museums and parks (roughly 9-11 km to many attractions), having a car is recommended to get around efficiently. The property is located off Highway 58, which makes it a convenient stop for travelers passing through on road trips. Note that the parking lot is on the smaller side, so arriving earlier in the day may help secure a spot, especially for guests with trucks or buses.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's cleanliness, frequently highlighting tidy rooms, clean hallways, and a well-maintained indoor pool and laundry area. Comfortable beds and effective heating/cooling units are also commonly mentioned as strengths, along with helpful and friendly staff and maid service. Several reviewers note that recent renovations have improved the rooms significantly given the budget price point. On the downside, some guests describe the building as a bit older and the surrounding area as rough, with occasional late-night activity nearby, and the parking lot is noted as small.
