I called and made a reservation at about 1:00 A.M. Bakersfield time. Working night audit at a hotel, I clarified that I wanted a reservation for "Friday night, technically today, but more than 12 hours from now." I even stated that I would be checking in around 8 or 9 P.M. Saying P.M. should leave no room for interpretation. After making a reservation with my credit card information, I was called about 10 minutes later and told that I was confused about my dates because they were running on "hotel time" and actually could not stay. Since they had overbooked, I asked where they planned to send me, assuming they would find me another hotel and pay anything over the rate which they quoted me. The man said, "We don't have that system in place." System? It's not tricky!! I asked if that meant I had to find another hotel myself since he had messed up, and he nonchalantly replied, "Yes." I work night audit at a hotel and have a clear understanding of check-in times and dates. I thought the man was rude, insulting, and extremely unhelpful. I decided to instead pay more to stay at the Rosedale (where I have stayed before). The Rosedale was polite and helpful as always. That was the last time I will try to save a few bucks...nothing but the Rosedale for me from here on out.

We stayed here for 1 night in July as a stop over from Arizona heading to the coast.
The price was right for the night. Room was alright.....had to clean the bathtub myself before I could use the tub. The deadbolt did not line up correctly with the door jam. Went down for breakfast only to find nothing really left and no one around to re-fill.
Not too sure if I would stay here again.....would probably spend the extra $20 and stay at the other Super 8 in Bakersfield.

We stayed four nights at this Super 8 on Wible in Bakersfield, CA. At under $45 a night, we were generally satisfied with the place. Most important to us, it was pet-friendly ($5 fee nightly), had a pool, offered a refrigerator and microwave, free wi-fi, and was cheap. We found the desk personnel helpful and friendly, (pleased to see my dog) and the location of the hotel convenient to Highway 99.

The room was very basic, but with a kitchenette area, a comfortable bed and good air-conditioner. Unfortunately, it was extremely gloomy, due to the all-around bad lighting and the lack of sunlight. The window out into the hallway had no privacy curtain, just a black-out curtain, making it impossible to allow in any natural light -- ever. This made being in the room a bit depressing, what with the black-out curtain shut all the time. Also, the sink and bathtub faucets were poorly maintained, not operating well in general. Lastly, the fan in the bathroom made a dreadful turbine-like sound, whirring and clunking loudly. The pool (9am - 10 pm) was well-maintained and not busy during our stay. The large parking lot was well-lit and did not feel unsafe, even during late night dog walks. Still, this is not a neighborhood conducive to quiet strolls or aimless wandering.

The location is not spectacular, as Wible is a big, busy street, but it is directly next door to Southwest Bowling Lanes, which is a nice bonus (aside from bowling, they offer a bar and Mossman's Cafe, which serves up quite decent diner fare).

Overall, this hotel was a good value for the rate, especially given the amenities we wanted. We were neither overwhelmed nor disappointed.

This Hotel was clean, and quiet for I was so tired and needed some sleep before finishing a long drive. The personel were very nice.
