Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were really nice and quite big, but they are in need of a face lift. The service was fantastic, very polite and professional, yet there was a lack of friendliness from the desk staff. The location was convenient with a playground nearby, but it definitely needed a good cleaning. The dining experience was quite good, they had a variety of food items, but the breakfast options were not so hot. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers medium-to-large sized rooms, moderately furnished with essential amenities. The staff is kind and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is great for families with a nearby playground but the dated decor and cold pool are drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located near a corner of the area, providing clean and tidy rooms with essential amenities, although some issues like dampness and a stained ceiling were present. Despite these setbacks, we opted to find a better hotel in a nicer area north of Bakersfield.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were nice and spacious, but not exactly as advertised on the website. However, the on-site bar/restaurant offered delicious food and drinks at reasonable prices. The patio area was a nice touch to enjoy the evening breeze.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious with a balcony, but they could use a facelift. The pool was really cold, though. The service from the maids to the front desk was amazing, very helpful and accommodating. The location was convenient with a playground nearby and friendly staff. The dining options were decent but could use more variety.
