The revamp is meh
We’ve been staying at this property for years and we were a bit disappointed with the revamp. The comforters used to be epic. These are just ok. One of the reasons we continue to stay here is because the included breakfast was super convenient. Advertising free breakfast when you only have bagels and yogurt when we have a vegan and someone with a gluten intolerance is disappointing.
Service was great still and we felt extra comfortable having security in the parking lot.

Beautiful and clean rooms. The place was close to a restaurant and a few minutes from downtown. It was a quick and easy check-in.

Nice overnight stop.
I’ve stayed in the Bakersfield area a few times over the years and this place was definitely one of the better choices in the area. Definitely will keep them in mind for future trips.

Absolutely recommend
I loved this stay from the moment we arrived. Upon checking in, I was greeted by Nyzha, the friendliest staff I've ever encountered at any motel. The staff member at check out was great too, but unfortunately I didn't get her name. The room was super clean, comfortable, and quiet. I won't hesitate to stay here again the next time I'm in town.
