“Worst Best Western yet”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Don't bother with this place unless you are a deep, deep sleeper. One of the most disappointing Best Western's I've ever stayed in. The hotel is located in a so-so neighborhood that looks like it might be on the way up. Directly across from a very nice looking library and convenient to downtown. I sense they have had problems in the past given their sign to limit their liability. "Public access to this area can't be controlled. Hotel liability limited." The property consists of multiple buildings. I was in the one (rooms # 100-125 & 200-225) across the moat from what looked like the main building. The place reeked of air freshener that they must get by the 50gal drum. It still doesn't cover the basic funk of an older hotel. The worst part of this hotel was the tissue thin walls and gaps around the hallway door and the connecting door to the next room. You could hear everything. My neighbors came back to their room about 2AM or so. I don't think they were being loud the sound just carried. Sound carried from the hallway too. Didn't make for a very restful sleep. When I mentioned the issue to the front desk when i checked out the clerk gave me the dead man walking look and said he would mention it to his supervisor. Decent sized room with some upgrades but an overall grubby appearance. A previous review mentions the ongoing roofing work. There were pallets of roofing tile staged around the property so I sense this will be going on for a while. The free breakfast buffet was as low rent as you could go and still be considered breakfast.

“5000 mile Roadtrip Stop 12”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Exterior: Stands back from main thoroughfare in downtown location. Two blocks each of two storeys, well kept and attractive.
Reception: Welcoming and efficient, vey helpful with maps, directions and advice on local area.
Ease of access: Very good to ground floors but no elevator in rear block. Luggage cart in front block.
Room: Well presented, quite large with seperate wash basin to en suite bath/shower and loo. Very high standard furniture and fittings with comfortable firm(ish) bed.
Breakfast: Usual cereals, juices, waffels, muffins, breads and toaster. Selection of fruit, all fresh - very good
Tips; Local restaurant is Mexican style, but there are all types in and around Bakersfield. We went to an excellent salad bar (The Garden Spot) as our tummies needed a rest.
Mention: Excellent service from reception at check in and check out.

“This Best Western hotel has been the nicestr we have stayed in, we will be back.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

We did not book ahead. We just showed uo on our way through Bakersfield to San Francisco. Gaytri (at the front desk) was very friendly & helpful. She made sure we were comfortable and had the exact room we wanted. The Hotel is very clean, the beds is comfortable the bedding is clean and fresh. We asked for a non-smoking room and thats what we got. The room is spacious with a King bed,nicely decorated and the bathroom is spotless. The grounds and pool are in excellent shape.
