You get what you pay for.

The bed was comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful when Wifi did not work in my room. However, the room was poor and I would not stay there again.

BEST IN ALL OF BAKERSFIELD

Okay so. I am pretty much living out of motels so i have been all in bakersfield and this studio six is by far the best. Motel ive ever stayed at.
