    Great location, very nice team

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Our room had a dirty fridge (they did replace it) and we found used bikini bottoms in the shower. They didn’t offer another room and added extra charges to our stay. When talking to the manager she didn’t sympathize at all and said we needed to take it up with our bank. Not even a sorry for the problems that occurred or the inconvenience.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Looks freshly painted. Really appreciate the $7 meals for guests. Bathroom faucet barely reaches the sink. Hot water, full blast, is barely hot.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    The room had a terrible smell that didn’t go away no matter how much deodoriser I sprayed. Lots of insects flying around the room. Reception area had the same smell as well. Was happy to leave in the morning.

    Nothing Nothing

    Large room, secure parking, friendly staff and meet our needs for the one night. On this site the hotel is called Hill top. We had to stop and ask at a petrol station if they knew where it was. It turned out to be the hotel next door and is now called the Clarion.

    Next to a 24 hr AM/PM that has an Arby’s next to that and there is a Dennys across the street. Just one ice machine and no vending machines

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Pool was filthy Bedside lamps didn't work. Was a different name on booking.com to the actual branding on the hotel so was hard to find. Room smelt damp.

    Great location and friendly staff

  • Engine customer May 2025

    It was quiet. The whole place stank - the lobby, the halls, the room all had off smells. Everything about the place screamed cheap. Clearly, the owners don't like spending money and just don't care about their guests. There's an expensive car in the lobby to show off (supposedly it was a gift to the owners from Kobe Bryant), but the entire decor of the hotel is dated, ugly, cheap - and smelly. The attached restaurant is a sad little place, with unsmiling staff.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Good Too many insects/bugs inside the room

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Free breakfast, pool, $7 dinners

  • Engine customer May 2025

    The pool was amazing! No microwave in the room, the hygiene was horrible. That’s something they could definitely work on.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    The staff here made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. They treated us like family. Comfortable clean and a beautiful view. The courtyard was amazing! Go for a stroll, BBQ picnic area,Olympic size clean pool, jacuzzi, and the gazebo very impressive! The Chef there fantastic. The food wonderful nothing greasy. Our room stayed clean and staff was on top of everything. I loved our patio. We stayed 5 days and we will never stay anywhere else in Bakersfield through our travels. Again Staff 100% perfect I have no issues

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Easy to get to and had gated parking Nothing

  • Engine customer May 2025

    The location and the Staff were professional and approachable and there was lots of parking space. My room was dark, and the carpets were stained. I had to were socks and slip-one at all times. There were no clocks, or anything to put your trash in the room. I felt uncomfortable walking in the room. Yes, I liked that I paid 88 dollars+ tax. My opinion This Hotel is for the overnight working person on a budget. I wouldn't bring my family here even if it was for free. Thats my opinion.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Beautiful pool garden area. And gated parking lot. Little fruit bugs in our bathroom.
