This area is not a good area but the motel was nice clean I didn't make it to breakfast I was told it was over at 10:00 and it was over sooner than it was so I didn't get to make it. Hard to find a parking space very cluttered in the area. I wish they had microwaves in the room and coffee machines. I also wish they had a Jacuzzi and a pool!

This a nice hotel. Conveniently located. The area felt safe. The neutral rating was due to basic city environment. I will stay there again on the return trip.

We requested first floor, which they provided. Very noisy. Some traffic, but mostly due to guests either next door or upstairs.

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.
