We specified we were looking for a hotel with a pool. There was no pool. We had to upgrade our room, and if you are looking for quiet this hotel is not the place for you. The lobby is ALWAYS LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS. The room is only as quiet as the number of occupied rooms around yours. You can hear the refrigerator in the next room, the ac units the water 24/7, etc.

Only negative is that the check in spot is on a busy street, but the hotel accommodations and staff are wonderful. The room was so comfortable, clean and bright with a very nice view of the city. Restaurant also was excellent. Highly recommend.

Likely the best hotel in Bakersfield. Doesn’t stack up as a luxurious hotel but is convenient if you need to be there and the staff was very helpful polite and accommodating.

Almost perfect but... Rooms are spacious, bed is comfortable and the hotel has a nice vibe. The bathrooms are kinda kinky! The only issue is they BLAST county pop ALL DAY LONG, even at 7 am when the downstairs bar is closed. We could hear it all the way from the 3rd floor!
