I stay here one week every month and have for years. I had stayed at the Sheraton Four Points on California Ave and was disappointed that their service had gone downhill. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The food i.e. breakfast has improved in the last few months. I like the convenience of the location right across the street from a strip mall with a movie theater, several restaurants, etc. The rooms are clean and have been remodeled in the last year or so.

We chose the Residence Inn Bakersfield based on stays at other Residence Inn locations, not from reviews by others. Boy are we glad we stayed here. The property is very attractive and well maintained, beds are comfortable, and the service from check in to check out was outstanding. The front desk staff, especially Varerie, were very curtious and professional. The beautiful grounds, pool and barbeque\ picinc area make this hotel a must for family get togethers. Previous reviews mention the noise from the trains passing by being a problem. We did not find that to be true. Sure, the train whistles can be heard from the hotel, but to be honest it was kinda soothing and not overbearing.

Yuck. Dirty, noisey with train honks all night. Rooms look ok until you look closely then u see ripped drapes n places not swept.

Showed up after making my online reservation to discover that Residence Inn now charges a $100 "deposit" (nonrefundable) for a dog. I was not informed of this when I made my reservation.
