We loved the cleanliness of the room, the comfort of the bed, and the nice grounds. However, whoever was in room #106 was so loud, into the wee hours of the morning (3-4 a.m.!) that it woke us up. Pounding on the wall telling them to quiet down did not work. Other than that, we will definitely be staying at this hotel next trip to the Mechanics Bank Stadium and Arena.

Nice clean rooms. Older part of Downtown Bakersfield. My only complaint about the hotel is that it is the only Best Western or Best Western Plus that charges for breakfast. Come on now, even the Sleazy 8 has a free breakfast buffet. I will stay at the Holiday Inn next time.
