I love this place whenever I travel. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and makes every stay feel comfortable. It’s consistently a great experience.
I loved this place, the room was great. It is downtown but the noise level was very little Compton our plays we have stayed at, also the food was great and people very friendly.
We arrived after a long day of driving, and the staff at the front desk were so friendly and helpful, especially Cheyenne. We had enough time to put our baggage in our room and go to the bar restaurant for a late supper, which was very satisfying!
The hotel itself is quite beautiful and old. Our room was clean and modern and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! It was so comfortable. If you’re staying in Bakersfield, this is the place to be.
First time staying. It’s a beautiful property. Room was nice. Kind of stuck doing valet parking since it is downtown and can’t park anywhere else. Only thing was that the bar/restaurant was closed at 10 and not much around to eat open at that time.
This hotel was one of my absolute favorites and I am not normally a fan of any hotel. It is so unique, right downtown and close to everyone. Quiet over night and fun during the day. It’s so affordable yet you feel like you’re staying at 5 star hotel. I couldn’t be more happier.
Nice place. The bar was great and the cocktails excellent. Breakfast at the Farmacy was also good. The only odd thing, was that one side of the shower facing the bedroom was glass, meaning that you could see into the bathroom from the bed! Okay I suppose if you want to watch someone using the loo but not really my thing!
Fun place to stay if you need to be in downtown Bakersfield. Parking attendant and front desk personnel were helpful and pleasant. We needed pet friendly. Unfortunately pet friendly patio was closed.
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
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.
