What a gem of a hotel this was. We were so surprised being that it is located in Bakersfield (not notoriously known for nice accommodations). This was a very high-end boutique property with gourmet food (served via room service during covid). Apparently there is an up-and coming chef that is trying to make his mark there and the quality of the fool, presentation and style was off the charts. Totally unexpected! The room (Hed Hancho suite) was very clean, spacious and recently updated with high quality products in the bathroom. It was a room I'd expect to see in a swanky San Francisco hotel or in West Hollywood. The service was wonderful. The staff was very courteous and couldn't ask enough about what else they could do to make our stay nice. To cap it all off...the room rate was super reasonable. I think the entire bill including gourmet dinner came in around $300. Well worth the stay - we will be back!

Anything you need all you have to do is text. I was able to have champagne and fruit waiting in the room for our arrival. Interesting feature, the shower is clear on both sides and you can see into it from the bed area! Very cool

Surprising find, perfect place to stop in the middle of a long drive to have cocktails, a bite, and a snooze before hitting the road again.

Phones were down for almost two days. Staff very accommodating Dinner in bar area was just alright, not one in our party finished their meals. Shower visible to room via a curtain, wouldn’t be a problem unless you are sharing your room with your adult son.

Thank you for your review and feedback. I'm so sorry about the phone issue. We definitely tried to get the system back up as soon as we could. It sounds like you stayed in our Forty Winks room, which features a "peek-a-boo" shower. We have other room options available for a more private experience for your future visit. Hope you can visit again soon!

Great Hotel stay. Rooms was small but had a lot of comfort and personality. Walk in shower was great as well. Big California King bed was very comfortable and clean

Cool hotel if you are looking for a Party!

Pros: Really liked to decor and the comfort of the bed.
Cons: One area that really bothered me is that I had ordered room service around 9:00 pm. Then around 10:30 pm there was a knock on my door which freaked m
This hotel decor is very nice and the beds or very comfortable. The only reason that I gave it a 1 for comfort is because I was on the 3rd floor and was below the night club and the music played loudly until 2:00 pm. I did not get to sleep until after 3:00 am and had to leave at 8:00 am the next morning. If you looking for a fun party place then this could be the place if you are looking to rest maybe a higher floor or something else.

Best in Bakersfield

Pros: It has a bar to hangout with a pool table, a elegant restaurant, and a coffee shop in morning to pick up a coffee.
Cons: Sometimes staff can be so into their conversations they tend to take long to get a refill or your order.
Location: Downtown Courthouse, Rabobank theatre , hockey, not too much to do in Bakersfield on Sunday.
I love staying here. Whether it's visiting My son who lives with his father in Bakersfield or going to child support court because his dad can't work, seems to wipe away my worries when I step in the hotel. It has everything I need in the hotel so I don't have to leAve once I check in. Room rates can be a bit expensive but sooo worth every Zzzz!
