    Nice spot! Seems recently updated, had a decent restaurant, helpful staff, and a good location. Both elevators were out during our stay which wasn’t great for folks with luggage on higher floors (or housekeeping staff), might also be a flag for folks with limited mobility.

    Bakersfield. We arrived late ish and had a drink downstairs in the bar. Then went to a few dive bars within a few blocks. The homeless were harmless and we had a great time! The hotel was beautiful. BF was a great stop on our way to Long Beach. 💛

    I booked this hotel as a splurge to celebrate my husband's birthday. I called the property ahead to verify that the suite I was booking had a separate living and bedroom and was told that it did. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the room was one large room, no walls. It was fine, but just not what I had in mind for this price. We were traveling with our family, and the lack of any privacy was a bummer. A large part of the room's total square footage is bathroom, and it is quite a grand bathroom. I was looking forward to a soak in the jetted tub, only to find out that the jets didn't work. One of the two elevators was also broken, so the remaining small elevator was painfully slow and busy. We took the stairs most of the time, all the way to the 7th floor. Another reason I booked this property was the rooftop bar, I thought that would be so fun for a birthday celebration. Again, closed. Overall, it is a nice hotel, but not at all what I thought I was getting for a special occasion. The staff was very friendly and helpful, this is no reflection on them. I just wished I had known upfront how many parts of the hotel were broken or closed before booking.

    Very much enjoyed the stay here especially the retro decor. The room was very spacious and clean. Dinner was good breakfast was fairly good. The bar area was fun and lively, The cocktails were good as well

    I was kind of hoping for great welcoming warm staff. Other than the Valet, we really didn't get that. The hostess could use some training in being more discreet. The room was nice, the elevator takes FOREVER.... Getting a discount at the bar/restaurants would have been a big perk

    Great hotel in Bakersfield. Large comfortable room, good bar and restaurant on the ground floor. Nothing

    The whole facility was very well taken care of. Every staff member we interacted with was very polite, respectful and helpful. We ate at the restaurant, drank at the bar, and ate breakfast at the cafe. Everything was delicious and affordable.

    We would have appreciated if the front desk staff pointed out that there is no bell hop service and bringing the luggage rack to your room is DIY, so instead we waited for an hour to get our luggage upstairs. The valet service was wonderful and accommodating of my needs. The room 603 was awkward regarding the inability to isolate the toilet from the rest of the room due to the open back entrance to the bathroom.
