Bakersfield Hostels

The breakfast was good, the facilities were relatively new, there were plenty of parking spaces at the door, there were several gas stations around, and there were few people in the neighborhood. It was a quiet little city with a good attitude at the front desk.

This review happen during CoVID (Feb 2022). My wife and I where visiting friends in Bakersfield. We spent one night. The hotel is located right off the freeway in an industrial area with other hotels located around it. The area around the hotel has a lot of fast food restaurants and some sit downs. But with that said we had a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The check in process was quick and easy. They have a little shop next to concierge where you can but chips, soda, and candy. The lobby was nice and the restaurant was open (Happy to see it was open). The room was nice, clean, and with plenty of room. For one night in Bakersfield it was perfect. We would stay here again.

Driving from the Bay Area to Death Valley, we decided to stay one night at this Marriott to break up the drive. It also allowed us to redeem a Marriott e-certificate. In our experience sometimes using an e-certificate gets you the most modest accommodation available. This was not the case here. Consistent with our profile we were given a room on the 8th floor looking south toward the mountains. Granted we were also looking over the back parking lot but we believe that was better than overlooking the busy street in front of the hotel. We found the room to be well appointed and up-to-date. We were frankly a little surprised given other reviewers more critical comments. We admit we were probably fortunate that there were no events at the adjacent convention center so things were probably a little slow in the hotel anyway. Regardless, we were delighted to have registration allow us an early check-in (at 2:00 pm). It allowed us enough time to explore the city a little before going out to dinner. Self-parking, at no charge no less, was convenient and allowed us easy access into the hotel right near the elevators. It was a perfect layover experience.

First room on 6/20/22 rm# 230 was terrible I already up loaded pictures (dark...loud... scary... dirty)... I asked to be switched to another room... and the front desk clerk said there aren't anymore available rooms left... so I tried to check out the same day that I checked in 6/20/22.... then the man at the front desk told me they have a room available all of a sudden! So I stayed and rm #221 ways much better but I did check out the next day early morning 6/21/22 but I was paid up until 6/24/22.... today is 7/1/22 and I have yet to be refunded my money for the rest of the days back... they only refunded me my $100 deposit... I am a traveling nurse and I felt so much bias to where I would never recommend or stay there ever again... I ended up staying at another wyndham establishment which was basic but way better! I called for a whole week straight to ask for my refund that I paid for the whole week... they told me I had to talk to a manager but none has ever called me back or wasn't in when I called!

I decided to try the Doubletree again after a bad experience at the Padre. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I quit staying at the Doubletree for business a couple years ago due to different reasons, but glad I came back. The hotel is in a convenient location for me, has good parking, and several dining options nearby. Their bar/restaurant menu is somewhat limited, but the food I did have was great and the service was good and friendly. The hotel and rooms have been completely remodeled and have a more modern feel. They have a great fitness center on site as well. All in all a great stay and will be my go-to place to stay in Bakersfield when on business.

This hotel is quiet! Except in the daytime when the families are enjoying the awesome pool!!! (Not a complaint btw) there are two separate buildings of rooms separated by a bridge running over mill creek. The office lady we got today was AMAZING!!!

Breakfast is ok, the front desk is very good, the sofa is a bed, the sound insulation is not good

I stayed at this hotel several times years ago when it was a different name and really liked the property. When I was back in the area I immediately looked it up and found different name/owner(?). Booked one night although I was going to be in the area several nights just to check it out first. I am passionate about great customer service and OMG walking in found world class customer service in April who was at the front desk. Friendly, welcoming, great personality and attitude and extremely helpful! I was already a fan of the hotel at that moment! Later in the evening I encountered another front desk person named Paul who was fantastic as well! Always helpful and smiling and a fun personality. If hotels could all clone these two employees they would have award winning customer service! The lobby is gorgeous and tranquil. It has been done in shades of beautiful soothing gray along with silver accent pieces. Seating areas are inviting and visually very nice. The room continues on with the same gray tones and made me just want to relax in there all day as it just sets the tone of serenity and calm. Extremely clean and well maintained and good sized (I had a king bed) The pool is a beautiful pool and super clean and sparkling and cabanas have been added since my last visit and a great touch. Grounds are well maintained and parking is easy. And as a note to my first night “test” stay, I am still here almost a week later!

Booked through Hotwire for an overnight travel stop and got a really low price. The TA reviews had me worried BUT my stay was just fine. There was a welcoming staff in the nice lobby, secure parking, and a comfortable bed. The room could use deep cleaning, paint, and replacement of some plumbing fixtures but there were no bugs. The blankets are skimpy — I pulled the one off the 2nd bed. My big tip to getting a good night’s sleep at hotels is: BRING YOUR OWN PILLOW. This is not a resort get-away but it works as a safe place to overnight.
