Detailed Reviews
I will start off by saying that the hotel really has little control over some of the negatives.
The hotel is right off I-5 which is nice until you’re trying to sleep at night. The highway noise is the loudest I’ve heard in a while and I don’t think there’s a room that wouldn’t get that noise. We were extremely tired after traveling so we managed to sleep. There isn’t an elevator to the second floor and the breakfast area is super small and doesn’t have a big variety of choices. With that being said, they did offer packaged muffins, some Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches and breakfast bowls and had a pancake machine. One thing I did appreciate was the laminated floors instead of carpet. The last thing was the noise from the work people staying there. They were outside in the evening and were really loud. I would stay here again if there weren’t any better options.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you appreciated the laminate flooring and the breakfast options we provide. We do apologize for the highway noise, which is something we understand can be challenging given our location. We also recognize that the lack of an elevator and limited breakfast variety were inconveniences, and we appreciate your patience. Regarding the noise from other guests, we will address this with our team to ensure a more peaceful environment. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Sincerely, Hotel Manager

Hotel's Favourite
Living north of San Francisco. We are now in our 70's and can only drive about 5 - 6 hours due to back and neck issues. We have relatives and friends in Southern CA so make the trip usually once or twice a year. We had stayed in Buttonwillow in the past but found this BWHeritage Inn and after reading reviews, booked it. We were not disappointed. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the fruit in the lobby welcoming, and the accommodations absolutely adequate, clean (one item needed attention and has been addressed by management) and comfortable. Nice pool. Continental breakfast that at least gets you out the door and on the road .. I've seen better and I've seen worse. Altogether a good experience for us. Salads at Jack were great! Learned that the rooms parallel to the highway get a vibration when trucks use offramp/overpass. Rooms with backs facing south no vibration (I'm a VERY light sleeper!). We will be back and thanks.

This Best Western Inn really welcomed us like old friends. The room was large with King Bed, television available, clean throughout, air conditioner to feel fresh and newspaper to read daily. Landscaping with a fountain, pool, swept & washed patio. Beautiful Stago Palms to add.

We stayed at this little roadside hotel because I didn’t feel comfortable driving into Bakersfield at night, even though the city would’ve had cheaper options. Parking lot is very well lit, we felt very safe. Room was spacious and felt very clean, beds were comfortable. The older lady at the check-in was very kind, she even cracked a few jokes with us. Breakfast was great, lots of options..scrambled eggs, sausages, cereals, yoghurt.. they even offered us pancakes, something there for everyone. Breakfast area was small but looked modern and clean.
Can only recommend this hotel and their very nice staff.

I'm not sure I have ever stayed in a place this filthy! We stopped for the night while moving from AZ to OR. The whole area is repulsive. The flies are terrible! They were in the room and took us most of the next day to get them out of our truck.
The attached photo is of the cloth I cleaned my feet with after walking on the hotel floor. I had shoes and socks on all day before walking on the floor.
It appeared the floor in the room hadn't been mopped in months. There was dirt on the bathroom wall around the noisy exhaust fan. The refrigerator rocked a full four inches.
The highway noise is significant - not a fault of the hotel, just a note for prospective travelers. There also was a significant stench in the outside air.
We slept a few hours and got up at left a 5:30 AM because we were grossed out, putting on shoes just to visit the bathroom.

This hotel is just off I-5. (We had spent the day in Carrizo Plains National Monument). It is a nice facility with a couple of fast food and one restaurant nearby. The BW breakfast was good with some non-typical options which we enjoyed. The staff were nice and helpful. One wing of the hotel is immediately parallel to the I-5 fence and travel lanes, which is where we stayed as these were the pet rooms and we have a small dog. It was noisy (truck traffic all night) but I slept OK with earplugs. Bed and room was comfortable, but could have used some touch up painting.

If you're going south, drive the extra 29 miles to Bakersfield and stay there. This was our 2nd time of making the mistake of stopping here. NO quiet rooms. Right on the freeway Only fast food was a Mexican roach coach ( which we should have chosen :) or Jack In The Box. The room cost $139.27. The "Breakfast room" is more of a nook with two small tables. Take the tray from your room, load it up with ...whatever ... go back and nuke it there. The staff was nice and the bed was okay.

They could not assure two highly disabled travelers that a first floor room was available even with a same day earlier reservation. The rooms at arrival were a first floor (no steps) disabled access room. We took a chance an luckily succeeded. This lack of confidence was frankly disturbing and should not be a possibility with a large Hotel chain like Best Western!

Dear guest, Thank you for staying with us. My team and I will do our best to fix our mistakes and make sure all our guests are satisfied. Our records show you were placed in a ground floor accessible room, which is what you requested, however because you made the reservation same day and asked for a ground floor accessible room we were unsure if we would be able to grant that request because both of our accessible rooms were reserved prior to your reservation. Our staff went ahead and called the other guests and asked if they required the accessible room, which they did not, and moved your reservation into our only available accessible room. Our staff mentioning that we will do our best is the answer we give when we know there is an issue that we need to solve. Although Best Western is a large chain, each hotel is different in size, and room count. If you have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call and request. We hope you have a wonderful day and a safe journey ahead. Kavi Patel General Manager Best Western Heritage Inn

This Best Western was very disappointing. It was 'cleanish',but not as clean as it should have been. When we checked in we were informed that there was no water at all due to maintenance . We had to wait almost 3 hours to get water in the toilet and shower. An e mail or text about this issue would have been appreciated. High speed internet is advertised; it is actually no reliable internet. This location is not much more than a truck stop and should be advertised as such. We were supposed to spend another night here on out return trip. Needless to say, we cancelled our reservation and made one at another hotel.

The property is located in the center part of the city. We had a great room, located directly off the outside staircase. It also had a small balcony. The room was comfortable and fairly large. There was a nice area to walk pet ($25 pet fee). Due to staff shortages, the breakfast was a take away with a few different menu items. Staff were all wearing masks.
When I booked the room, I thought I was booking directly through the hotel. Instead I was routed via phone to Reservation Support [Reservations@lodging.support]. Unfortunately, they charged a lot more than if I had booked through the hotel or Best Western. They also told me there was no pet fee. The next day, I tried to reach them by phone to ask about the charges, I was never able to reach anyone and no one ever returned my call. This was no reflection on the hotel, but just be careful not to book through this third party.
