“Just what IS that smell??”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

3 star hotel?? I know stars are based on amenities, but yipes. I switched rooms because the cleaning solution smell was overwhelming, and yes, there is a smell in the hallways like chlorine, I assume it's that carpet fresh stuff.

The bartender at the tiny bar was cute and nice, the hotel is right off the highway, and it's a nice location with good parking. That's where the compliments have to end. The wireless was down, so the front desk grumpylady (Lucy, who seems to have been there for going on 72 years now) had ME call the tech support for the hotel. He ended up having to call her and I happened to be down there when he had her on the phone and asked her to go reset the modem. She put the phone down and said out loud "I hate this hate this HATE HATE..." as she walked to the back. Then the Union Pacific guys needed their shuttle to work, so she yells loudly "DANIEL?!??! Did he LEAVE already?!? ARGH!"

So there I was to switch rooms and BOY was she upset about that too. I get that she wasn't thrilled with what was going on, but whew....

The new room smelled musty but tolerable. Clean enough, I didn't mind the small small beds and bathroom cuz I pricelined it for $48, but 3 stars my buttocks!

Skip it.

“Very clean! Very modern!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

We stayed at the Clarion Hotel in Bakersfield after flying into LAX earlier in the day. We're pleasantly surprised to find out that the rooms were very modernized with only flat screen televisions, but other modernized electronics. The lobby and rooms were very clean and the hotel was very close to restaurants and the freeway. Additionally, the beds were very clean and incredibly comfortable. Definitely will return here in the future.

Stayed here for one night in mid January 2012. Good property in a good location. Very comfortable beds and a nice clean room. Will definitely stay here again.

“A Nightmare!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

The room, bathroom and beds are all extremely small. My spouse had to sleep in a separate bed.. The sink to wash one's face is outside the bathroom! We asked for a king/queen and were told it was unavailable even tho the parking lot was less than one third full. This particular motel seems to appeal to long-distance truckers. An extremely unpleasant smell in the hallway (like swimming pool chlorene). The complimentary breakfast was mediocre.. We left ASAP in the AM w/o showering: that's how anxious we were to flee that place!
Shame on Hotwire for featuring this motel at all, least of all as a 3-star motel. A room at a local Motel 6 would have been better/more inviting; unfortunately, we'd prepaid so we were stuck but we seriously discussed continuing to drive the additonal four hours to our home rather than stay here.

Room Tip: In my opinion, there are no good rooms in this particular motel!

“One step above motel 6”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

Stayed here based on good trip advisor reviews. Disappointed to say the least. Rooms are clean but low class, old, hallways are smelly, just not what we expect for $95 + taxes.
