    Attended a wedding at this venue and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the Bayou was. The area is kind of sketchy and not well lit. The inside was actually well ventilated, well kept, and nicely decorated. Security did a good job of watching the door. In not sure how much they charge to rent out the venue, but overall the wedding was nice. I'm not sure who was providing the food a caterer or the venue, but they were serving Chinese food. Wasn't the world's best Chinese food but it was okay.

    I must say this was my first time actually staying in Bakersfield and I was honestly surprised that…read morethe Marriott was completely booked! Granted it looked like all construction workers because there was nothing else but oversized trucks in their parking lot! My fiancé Googled "clean hotel without bed bugs" and Padre Hotel came up first! Their online reviews were great and we were exhausted and needed to rest! We pulled into their valet parking just to drop off our things. As my fiancé parked the car, across the street in the over night garage, I was able to get a Single King room on a Monday night for $159. As we walked into our room #701, it was rather small, but fine since it was just the two of us. As I sat on the bed, it was actually hard! Yay!!!! I can't STAND soft beds and rather sleep on the floor! Haha no joke! Then my fiancé went into the restroom and suddenly he tapped on something glass sounding as I was turning ing on the tv..... I noticed there was a curtain by the bed, so I pulled it across and lo and behold by the bed was the shower and just a curtain the person from the outside of the shower could open/close as they please..... hee. We also had a mini fridge in the room along with a desk and chair. We had planned on staying one night, but got inside LA, and we figured we'd extend our stay. Upon doing so, we went downstairs the next day and asked if there was a deal if we could stay 3-4 days, and sure enough there was!!!! It's always great to see what happens once you ask! Hee. We got a larger room with a corner room location, I forgot the room number, but the restroom was larger and had a separate wall between the toilet and shower area, so if someone was in the shower, someone else could use the toilet and not be seen. This longer hotel room also had a chaise lounge chair and a better view of their downtown area, granted a lot of the places have closed. Overall, I honestly loved our stay here! It reminded me of a county version of The Fairmont SF! They constantly played new aged country music in the lobby! Then on Fridays and Saturdays there was a live band or singer in the bar area! I love how they had a community aspect to the hotel with some local live entertainment!!! My fiancé also loved watching The Knicks play on the bar tv with other people at the bar! Hee. Oh and they had an adorable coffee shop that made Ready To Order items downstairs too! See my review at Farmacy Cafe, but too freaking too! Country SHREK! Hee We will definitely be back again!!!!!

    Holy fart, done made me shiver in my timbres! Scared my first cousin, cousin twice removed and me…read moremeemaw. We stayed here for the night cuz on the way home from an overnight Cèilidh in shafter, our car ran outta gas....A ghost touched me when I was in REM or whatever they call that sleep. I now have sleep paralysis. CALL THE GHOST BUSTERS PADRE OR JUST GET A VACCUM THAT WORKS EVERYTIME LIKE WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FART PADRE??? Weren't so Coorie there, if you want a bit of spoopy..C'mere--g-go here!!
