This little hotel is very beautiful and very cozy. the main staircase and main hallway are very very old and smelly but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Staff are phenomenal and very friendly. Not a lot of amenities in the room but enough for a night stay I guess.

Check in was a breeze (most places i have stayed usuallyy are) The staff members were all quite helpful and polite. Theres a lovely little resteraunt attached to this hotel called Mango Haus that had some terrific Chilaquiles and some really well done cocktails. There is alot of parking and its gated which is a plus for down town bakersfield. Only downside is youre no where close to any stores or gas its all just business and resteraunts in the area. But also super quick access to the Amtrak so that really weighed out bad.

stayed for half marathon race the next day, got the exact room I wanted, clean everything I needed for my short 12 hour stay. Checking in was a breeze no problems very friendly staff, made extra effort to get the room I wanted. Housekeeping was in the hallway and asked for directions to ice machine and she was very friendly too. This is my 3rd stay at this hotel and will def be back again next year. Best part is gated parking area and well lit so your vehicle is safe.

Business trip- stay here due to safety. Locked parking area. Breakfast is a bit skimpy, more slightly above continental, but will need to go out for bigger plates. Nice room, clean and fairly spacious. Across from the transit terminal, and about a block to the arena events. Lots of restaurants to choose from, some walkable.
