A customer of mine told me to stay here so I decided to try it out. I usually stay at the Marriott Courtyard but this one was closer to my meeting the next day. Let me just say that I travel all over and have stayed in every hotel. This place is AWESOME!!! Let me list some of the reasons this place is the place to stay. There is a basketball court on the premises. Who doesn't want to shoot some hoop to work up the appetite. FREE Happy Hour from 5-7. The night I was there they were serving FREE hamburgers, chicken burgers, french fries, salads and more. No hard liquor but FREE beer and wine. Now here is the kicker. They had a keggerator with chilled mugs and you got to pour your own beer. How cool is that??? I felt like I was in my garage pouring from my own tapper. Plus, they had a big screen playing sports and a roaring fire in the fire place. Very cozy. After a couple of FREE cold ones I took a walk down the street to TORO Sushi Bar & Grill. All of the tables were packed with couples but the sushi bar (my favorite spot)had some openings. I immediately ordered a 22oz. Asahi which came in right away. Then I had the edamame appetizer with garlic. Tasty. But my big recommendation is the Sushi. You have to order the "Ono" or White Tuna. It is to die for. It actually melts in your mouth. Who would have know you would get good sushi in Bakersfield of all places. The salmons was just as good. Right next door is a Vons Grocery store so if you need anything it is only a few steps away. I had to pick up my favorite traveling dessert..........A PayDay Candy Bar. yummm!!! Then it was back to my room to hammer out a few emails. I would highly recommend this place for both business travelors and families. I will stay here again on my next trip to Bakersfield. Cheers!!!
