“Decent budget motel near downtown”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

After having one good night and one bad night at the south Bakersfield location I decided to try this location. Also, it's closer to downtown where I needed to be. The room was a typical budget motel hotel room but it was clean and well equipped. There are a couple of restaurants, a Starbucks,and a 7-Eleven within walking distance.

My only complaint is there there is quite a bit of noise from the nearby freeway. However, I can generally ignore noises that are monotonous so I was able to sleep through it. If you're looking for an acceptable and cheap motel near downtown Bakersfield I can definitely recommend it.

“What do you expect for under $40?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

This is a slightly below average motel. This is a trucker/working mans place. Got woken up by the big rig outside my window starting up at 5am. Bring ear plugs and your own towel, the ones provided are like sandpaper. The bed was OK, but you can't get an extra pillow from housekeeping because they don't have any to spare. The rooms are worn, but clean. No coffee maker, hair dryer, iron, any of that stuff. On the up side, for breakfast, they have a waffle maker in the lobby (but you have to bring your own butter). Also, the staff is nice and there's a great buffet just across the street.

“Skip this place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I was just looking for an inexpensive place to swtay for the night on my way from California to Nevada and yes it was inexpensive but not a good place to stay. My expectations were safe and clean, I don't think this place is eithet. On check in I requested a quiet location, I got high traffic noise, lots of car doors banging and two drunks kn ocking at my door in the middle of the night. The towels were supposed to be white but they were gray the bath tub had an oily ring around it. The floors were dirty. I probably should have left but tiredness from driving caused me to stay. The one redeeming characteristic was it was across the street from a buffet style restaurant called Hodels, which was very good and resonable.

“Hey, it was not bad, considering the rock bottom rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

First of all, this is Bakersfield, not New York City. I was looking for an affordable place to stay while finding more permanent quarters. The rate was the best in town. There were a lot of people at the hotel, and I got a nice quiet room on the 2nd floor. The hairdryer wasn't working, but everything else was fine, clean linens, AC ran well. For the very low rate I am highly satisfied. If you can get down early enough for breakfast, the waffles are tasty and filling.
