Hotel staff were friendly, polite and accomodating. We were charged an extra $75 US per night for our little dog - outrageous! No hot breakfast.

Sleepless in Bakersfield

Loud, you could hear the freeway very clearly, into a second day there was a group of motorcyclists they were extremely loud, loud music playing in the morning and coming back to the hotel at 1am blasting music . The rooms were no different, you could hear people talking in the other rooms, overall extremely loud and uncomfortably.

Sheila is amazing, but I got there late after midnight and i put in a reuest for a room on the 4th floor 2 days in advance overlooking Travel lodge-this time I was on the second floor facing the china buffet and I did not like it so this week I am staying at another location. Will try to get there earlier and connect with Sheila she always takes really good care of me since I am a regular.
