My family and I stayed at the Howard Johnson Express Inn in Bakersfield, Ca. This is our First Choice hotel whenever we come to the area. The rooms are nice, comfortable, and clean. The pool is refreshing and great for the kids. The continental breakfast was lacking variety, although it was fully stocked. Upon check out the front door clerk... More

Literally in the first hour we were there, I killed 2 roaches and a spider in the bathroom. I don't think this was in the safest part of town either. We hardly slept that night due to multiple car alarms going off and people yelling outside. The breakfast was meager. My only positive about this hotel was that they had... More

We stayed here based on other reviews, but should have passed it by. First problem, the key card did not work. So back to the office for a new one. Tried to connect to the wireless internet - the signal on the backside of the hotel was almost non-existant - better on the front side when we wandered there with... More

Thank you for your review. We take each issue seriously so that we can make improvements. It is rare and unfortunate that our juice machine had problems during your stay. We have quickly resolved the issue with the machine vendor. But, during that time, we were still able to provide quality orange and apple juice to our guests. As for... More

Customer service and safety are top priorities at our hotel. Our records indicate that the room that you've stayed in for two weeks had only a single bed. We discovered during the course of your stay that you had four, or more, people in the room. This room is really not equipped to handle more than two guests at a... More

We were traveling through and needed a place to sleep. The price was right. It was hard to find- we drove quite a way from the freeway and the driveway was easy to miss- we had to get on the freeway and come back! But clerk was great- friendly and efficient. Room was good- small but clean, sufficient for our... More

The room was clean and well maintained. There was an unpleasant "stockyard" odor outside during our entire stay, but the interior of the room was odor free. Free wifi was a plus!

I recently stayed at the hotel while on holiday. Check in was fast and I couldn't believe the price... Not expensive! The room was very clean and well stocked, which was a change sometimes at other hotels I'd have to ask for something they forgot to put in the room, and it was spacious. The staff was very nice and... More
