Elegant and upscale facility in the heart of downtown Bakersfield. Next door to the 1920's Post Office, around the corner from the Natural History museum. There are several nice places to dine and get a cocktail in the area, and the hotel's bar/restaurant was rockin' on a Tuesday night.

I was told that the restaurant and room service would be unavailable. That was very disappointing because I was given the Padre a great place for its restaurant and great bar.
What I was never told was that for our one night stay on Jan 2, the bar was actually open up til 6 pm where we could have had a nice bar dinner and drinks. I’d also been told the front desk would recommend places to eat or get a drink. Besides 18 hundred, there wasn’t much at all nearby.

I arrived to the hotel for them to tell me my reservation was cancelled. Hotel management pointed fingers at Travelocity and Travelocity couldn’t do anything to accommodate. Instead I got put into a lower star rated hotel that I still had to pay for! This should of been taken care of through Travelocity for their “technical error” As for the hotel management they wouldn’t assist in any way and said sorry all of our rooms are booked. No recommendations or help from them at all. Bad customer Service all around between the two companies.

Hotel was nice but room had zero literature on what the property offered. Staff was awesome. Unfortunately the area around the hotel was pretty sketchy, especially when you have to go almost a block away to take your dog to the bathroom.

Beautiful hotel with the friendliest staff. From check-in to check-out, I enjoyed my stay. Good food, great selection of drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. The room was clean clean and the bed was so comfortable I melted into a deep sleep. A hidden gem! Thank you Padre Hotel and staff! See you again soon.

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!
