In short: DO NOT STAY HERE I will start with the worst part: this place double charged me for my stay and then tried to say I hadn't paid. When I went to the the front desk about their mistake, they told me I was trespassing and had to leave. Please protect your wallet and go anywhere else! I had to stay several weeks in Bakersfield, and moved hotels occasionally to try new places/prices. This was by far the worst! They convinced me stay here with the promise of a "newly renovated room" - it was not true. The room looked like it was renovated in the 2000's. Light fixtures were bent and broken. The flooring was cracked and dirty. The toilet was small and low to the ground. The room was super small. The room lights were on motion detectors, so if you sat still they would turn off. The chairs in the room were made of hard plastic and awkward, like old school chairs. They said they would have breakfast. They had cereal and a waffle maker, but no waffle batter. When we requested batter, it took a half an hour for them to provide any. There were some dilapidated cars taking up prime parking spots next to rooms. Some lacked tires, some lacked license plates. I don't know what they were doing there. Individuals were also clearly meeting up in the parking lot to do drug deals. It is not a good neighborhood and the hotel is obviously involved with some other odd business dealings. The parking lot constantly reeked of weed. The neighborhood was bad.

This is a budget place, but the room was very clean, and the bed comfortable. The room had some wear and tear but was serviceable. My key needed to be re-activated every evening for some reason, but the staff was friendly and helpful every time.

could not fnd my reservation - overcharged for room - carpet stained and furniture worn

Cons: Noisy, Poor breakfast
the manager at this hotel is not very professional. The clerk could not find my reservation and I asked why the manager was not called to look for it. She said if she had to respond to every problem at the front counter she would not get any sleep.
