Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are very nice and roomy but had a heavy odor of stale linens and chemicals. Despite the spaciousness, there were issues with roaches and a lingering smell. The service was lacking, with unhelpful staff and issues like unclean dishes. The location, while surrounded by lush gardens, had safety concerns with homeless individuals nearby. The dining experience, although good, had minor timing issues. The facilities were not outstanding, with no notable highlights.
The hotel had all amenities I require for a short stay during a road trip: hairdryer, coffee machine with complementary ground coffee, microwave, fridge, and AC. The room also had a patio for seating, but it was really hot. Close to Denny's and a gas station.
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it to others. The room I was given had a terrible condition and to add insult to injury, they charged me a $100 deposit for it. The A/C wasn't even turned on before my arrival. Despite the efforts of Brendon, the manager, the room was cleaner but fell short of basic cleanliness standards promoted by other hotels.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The room could have used an extra blanket, but it was conveniently located near the pool and boasted beautiful roses in the gardens.
The hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms, despite not being as clean as expected, were surprisingly spacious and comfortable for a relaxing stay. However, the service was unprofessional and unconcerned, with rude behavior from the front desk to the maids. The location offered fast and easy access to everything needed, but security and service were lacking. The dining experience was decent but not exceptional, mirroring the overall hotel stay.
The hotel wasn't like it was advertised; it had bugs, the tub wasn't clean, and it filled up when taking a shower. Couldn't use the pool as it wasn't clean. However, the staff was very friendly in getting us checked-in and nice and understanding of my situation. The location was near the freeway and easy to find, perfect for my needs in Bakersfield. The dining experience was great, more than just a quick continental breakfast. The rooms did not live up to expectations, but the friendly service and convenient location were notable positives.
