The area was not as sketchy as the reviews made it seem. My family felt safe. The room was pretty clean except for some candy wrappers on the floor. Breakfast was terrible. I would definitely stay at Spark again if I am passing through Bakersfield.

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.

The bed had a weird stain on the side and the mattress protector wouldn’t stay on. Pillows were wafer thin. The breakfast in the morning was definitely disappointing. Staff was nice and friendly. Restaurant outside smelled awful not their fault though.
