Better Than Just 'OK'

The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and TV, microwave, and refrigerator were all in working order. The negatives were very loud street noises--it sounded like a cruising car show well into the night--and my shower was very unpleasant. Scalding hot or freezing cold were the consistent options. But a good value will put this on the top of my Bakersfield budget list.

Good for the price

For the price, I’m satisfied with the room. I was in Bakersfield to visit my son and his family. Room was clean. There was noise outside (not terrible), and you could hear every time near by turned on the water. Parking lot was well lit and I saw a security guard patrolling the area. I will probably use this hotel again on my next visit.

One of the most accurately-named hotels I've stayed at. Rooms are average sized, beds were comfy enough, bathrooms kinda poorly lit, TV worked. Breakfast in the morning was missing coffee and the orange juice was orange drink. Can be a little loud from traffic noise during the evening, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

It was a normal motel but the room we were in had unpleasant smell and the heater wasn’t working. Overall, still recommend for the price but they need to check on their equipment more often.
