Getaway

We went uo there for a wedding, but really enjoyed the amenities there. Walking distance to lots of bars. Could have used firmer pillows on the bed, but that was really the only negative.

Disliked: Staff & service
The frontdesk clerk had the most unfriendly attitude when checking in. 20 min after we had checked in, my wfe went to ask her a question and she immediately went away from the counter making my wife wait for her for about 5 min (probably she thought my wife would go away if she wasnt there). She was brisk and court, in other words, unapproachable. At the restaurant, I asked for a ribeye stake medium well, instead, i got it medium rare; the waitress argued the stake was indeed medium well so i was able to eat only part of it. We definitely didnt have a good experience there. The check out clerk was nice, though.

Corner Room

Been wanting to check out the Padre for a while. Hit it in August, when it's extra hot in Bakersfield. Got a spacious corner room with a nice view of the town. Room was very clean, very nice. Didn't take advantage of much else in the hotel, but it was a great stay.

Super nice modernized vintage hotel from the 1930's. This was known THE "nicest hotel west of the rockies" back in the day! It's been meticulously redone about 15 years ago, and is wonderfully charming. Dog friendly, too! We plan on returning to explore it more.

Old and Stylish - not many "Extras"

In Bakersfield there are not a lot of options for a unique and stylish hotel. This is really it! It's a fun older hotel - almost 100 years old but very well kept and rooms are clean and upgraded nicely. There is a "rooftop" bar but we assumed it was on the "roof" - could have been cool to see the view. It's actually on the 2nd floor and they had parties there both nights with a cover so we didn't get to try it.
