Good stay

I was in town to see my dad at the Adventist hospital. Location is good for hospital visits. There’s a gas station and Chinese’s buffet in the Sam parking lot. It was quiet all night. The free breakfast wasn’t that great but the coffee was tasty.

NO POOL, IN BAKERSFIELD?

This hotel is nice and clean, despite it's surroundings. The bed is firm and the AC works great. Breakfast is reasonably varied but basic. We booked here because my daughter wanted a pool for her birthday as the city pools are still closed. It was paved over a few years back.

What I like about the property are that it is very clean and is in good condition. There is a gas station right in front of it. There are many restaurants near it. The hotel is right next to the road. It is not at all difficult to find it. I did not like that the room did not have a microwave, which is very common now-a-days. In the breakfast, more options can be added. Such as bread, scrambled eggs, etc.

Limited breakfast, noisy guests

One of the main reasons I chose this hotel for my family was for positive reviews on the breakfast selection, but we were thoroughly disappointed. The offerings were mainly cold, except for bagels and oatmeal. The hotel was very noisy with people stomping around above us until 2 or 3am. At breakfast we also felt that some of the clientele were questionable. We’ll probably avoid this brand in the future.
