we stayed in this hotel a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it, so this is why I chose this same hotel again,, wow what a nightmare, it was totally different, out of the 5 days we stayed there, the room was cleaned 3 times only because I complained about this, when I asked why our room wasn't being cleaned, I was told that every other day housekeeping comes in between 3 and 4!!!What?? I had to ask for towels and make our own beds, like I had all the time to do this, with an elderly father and handicapped person. This person I complained to happened to be the Manager!!!! when she asked if she could talk to me, she offered 20.00 back on my 400.00 bill!!what an insult, I told her I had to come back one last time a couple of days later, and she stuck to her 20.00, I mean she could have offered at least half off our next stay. but it was all good, I did not except the 20.00 and I did tell her I would write a review, but that didnt make a difference to her. Somethings going on there, new owner? It was a crying shame that this hotel went down so quickly from our other stay. I was so disapointed, if you stay here, make sure you're not going to mind the room not being clean when you get back. I rate this at the lowest on this trip and I stayed at 5 hotels this trip. I guess I just cant get over the 20.00 offer, what a shame. Oh yes I dd make sure it was pretty clean when we left, I didnt want them to say anything about us, like I had all the time in the world to do someones eleses job. NASTY NASTY, not to mention the water bugs... what happened???????I would never recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for one night in Feb. 2009. We booked this hotel because we could stay 5 in in one room. I travelled with my husband, 2 kids and a teenager.
No problems with check in. The room had a "funky" smell and didn't look to good. At least the fridge worked. We were 5 and had almost no toiletpaper - the bathroom looked old and we didn't get the fosset or the toilet working 100%.
The sheets were clean, but the blankets were not. The sleeper sofa was terrible. My 19 year old son could not bare to sleep on it. The springs were coming out of the mattress....
I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and when I saw a roach.. that was it. We didn't even take a shower the next morning - we just got our stuff together and were out of the hotel by 8 in the morning. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Space, price and convenience are reasons to stay at the Garden Suites Inn. I knew about the last two when booking it for an engagement in Bakersfield which would see me out of the room during most of my stay. The surprise was how large the room turned out to be. Despite these advantages, the rooms have seen a lot of traffic and would be uncomfortable spending alot of time. Then again may consider couches eat you up and the molded fibreglass peeking through foot worn enamel of the tub to be charming. In that case, stay a week!

Read my other reviews, I do not say this ever but under no circumstances should you stay here.
Where do I start? I choce the location due to its proximity to the mall figuring it would provide food nearby and some diversions. I was wrong. There is no real food around here. I drove 10 miles just to get 'In n Out' which I was happy with but would have much preferred a real meal. Plus the neighborhood is very very sketchy. I am 6'1" 210 and built like a linebacker, I do not fear much but this area made me nervous.
The hotel is dirty dirty dirty. The carpet in the elevator looks like the carpet in an extremly busy nightclub. Filthy. The rooms were almost as dirty. The pool was green and full of debris. I expected to see a dead hooker floating in it.
The sheets are like paper and the towels like gauze.
I was awakened at midnite by the people upstairs that MUST have been moving furniture. Three calls to the front desk later they were still jumping around. I called and said move me or I am leaving. They moved me to a quieter room at 1 am the carpets had just been shampooed so it was stinky and moist. I didnt care I just needed to sleep.
I wouldnt stay here again on a bet.
