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!!!!!

We came here for the rock and mineral show and I've never been in this hotel before. The lobby is…read moreso beautiful and all the personnel seem very attentive. It was very clean and not extremely modern but up-to-date. I would easily recommend it for guests to come in to stay from out of town. Not sure about the prices.

The Bottom Line (TL;DR) -- While this hotel offers an easy…read morecheck-in process and convenient parking for road trippers, the severe cleanliness issues, unstaffed front desk, and the complete lack of EV chargers ruined our stay. Do not expect the level of quality or convenience the high reviews suggest. The Highs (The Good) -- Frictionless Check-In: We received an email the day prior to fill out our information, which made the actual front-desk check-in incredibly quick. I also appreciated the easy upsell option to secure a 1:00 PM late checkout instead of the standard 11:00 AM. Easy Parking & Unloading: Parking was abundant, which is a massive relief when you are traveling in a larger vehicle. We booked the 1 King Bed Suite, which was conveniently located near the entrance. Loading and unloading our luggage was a breeze through the large back doors. Modern Guest Laundry: They have Speed Queen washers and dryers that connect directly to a mobile app. Not having to hunt for loose change or quarters on a road trip is a huge win! The Lows (The Bad) -- Misleading Amenities (No EV Chargers!): The hotel website explicitly listed EV charging stations as an amenity, which was the main reason I booked this specific property after driving nearly 500 miles. There are zero chargers on-site. As an EV driver, I felt completely misled and this was a huge inconvenience. Unacceptable Cleanliness: The room was barely vacuumed. My toddler actually picked up a discarded clothing tag off the floor, put it in his mouth, and almost ate it. We also found leftover crumbs scattered around, and finding hair on the toilet proved the bathroom wasn't thoroughly cleaned at all. Strange Bathroom Setup & Towel Shortage: We were only given two bath towels (most hotels provide at least four standard). Worse, the large bathtub in our suite had absolutely no showerhead. While fine for bathing a kid or soaking, it was incredibly difficult for an adult to move around and actually get a full, clean rinse. Dark Rooms: The lighting design simply does not match the room size. Even with every single light flipped on, many areas of the room felt very dark and shadowy. Unstaffed Front Desk: Whenever we approached the front desk during the night hours (on 3 different occasions), we had to wait 5 to 10 minutes just for someone to appear. A simple call button is desperately needed for quicker assistance. Lack of Security & Noise Control: There were kids running around the halls late into the night, causing a ton of noise. One even ran right into me while I was unloading the truck. They were very rude, but the real issue was the hotel's complete lack of staff presence or security to manage the disruption. The Verdict -- Overall, I do not recommend the Hourglass Hotel. In an area like Bakersfield where there are plenty of other options nearby, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Do not be fooled by the high ratings, like I was. Hopefully, this review helps you find a better spot!

It was good enough to get a good workout. Breakfast is served downstairs in the morning. They have their usual Hilton special microwaved foods. Coffee and teas are also available. It's a good property. Good enough for one night.

The hotel is not a 5 star hotel, but is is very nice and the staff is the best. They have your room ready on time and when they can they will give you a late check out. The rooms are sound proof which is nice because it is connected to a concert venue. There are also a lot of conventions there. The rooms are super clean and very comfortable. They are a nice size and we loved our bathroom. We had a sofa and a desk and all we needed was there. They also have an eatery which is really good. We loved the pool and the fitness room. What really stood out for us was the maid service, the rooms were spotless and the front desk staff who know everything about, well, everything Bakersfield. You can't go wrong here.

It's a centralized location, walking distance for restaurants. But I can't say I was happy with the stay. Meh. Unfortunately there were a few issues. To start, our keys didn't work upon check in, so we had to run back downstairs to get a new set. The showerhead was disappointing as the water pressure was subpar and the settings also left something to be desired. We did not have maid service for over 8 hours on Saturday which posed an inconvenience for our schedule in the afternoon. There was a clog in the shower/tub drain, and one of the light bulbs in the room didn't work. There was a nearby train which could be heard in the room. On the plus side, they did have some car charging stations in the parking lot for a fee (ugh). Nothing much stood out about the staff, either in a good way or bad way. We weren't in the room enough for these things to derail our visit but the overall experience left something to be desired.

I've stayed at this Holiday Inn Express on Hughes Ln many times over the years and have generally…read morehad good experiences, which makes this situation especially frustrating. During a stay in late February 2026 (Room 432), I encountered live roaches in the room and checked out immediately (2 days into a 4-day stay). That alone was bad enough, but what followed was worse. At checkout, I asked the front desk clerk, Lydia, if this had been reported before and was told it was "not the first time." I expected management to follow up, but no one reached out. After multiple attempts, I finally spoke with the manager (Cal), who told me the issue was not isolated and blamed their pest control vendor. He also said he had tried to contact me but didn't have my number, which didn't make sense given that my contact information is provided at check-in. I tried to resolve this through IHG Diamond Services starting January 30. While they initially responded, the case stalled while waiting on the hotel. I eventually escalated to executive-level review and never received any response at all. Nearly two months later, there is still no resolution. I travel frequently for work, stay at IHG properties often, and don't write reviews like this lightly. A serious room issue is one thing, but the complete lack of follow-through and accountability is what stands out. Disappointing experience overall.

But between the lack of clean sheets and the barely functioning door....... There was alot of sketchy people hanging around. I guess hanging out in the parking lot and smoking weed is what they do in Lamont on a Monday night. When I turned in the keys the next morning I told the desk clerk about the broken door and non functional deadbolt she just sighed and said in a quiet defeated voice "oh.......ok" like she heard it numerous times before.

I'd suggest a new cleaning lady that actually sweeps under stuff and maybe some toilet paper. and also why are we allowing people in the parking lot to bang on peoples doors and fight?? how is anyone getting a good night rest with people screaming right outside the door

I've stayed here twice in a month's time, and it will be my go to when I am in Bakersfield…read more Our suite was huge both visits, with a kitchen that had a fridge and real stove! If we were staying longer, we would have really used those. We did use the freezer and the microwave, and they were fine. There's a sitting area with a comfortable loveseat and coffee table. The TV is oddly off to the side, perpendicular to both the bed and the couch. We didn't watch TV, but it would be difficult to see the screen as it is currently laid out. The bathroom is huge with a tub and shower combo. There's a nice dressing area with a huge closet, mirror, sink, etc. The room had a blow drier and iron. The best thing about this hotel is the included breakfast buffet. They have eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and much more, on a rotating basis that changes daily. It was terrific! The eating area is large with many tables, so no problem finding a place to sit. I really like this hotel and I'll be back!

I even heard from the General Manager. The cleaning staff even stopped by and asked if I needed service. Just completely amazed by the amenities that Homewood by Hilton offered. Drove me to apply for an AMEX with Hilton Honors because this property treated me with more respect and curtesy than I have ever had at a hotel chain. The location is highly recommended. They are going through a remodel. Slowly they are upgrading their suites as they can. I can 100% say that the suites that are set up for folks with disabilities was top notch. Hand rails in the bathroom. The kitchenette has everything you need if you are on a budget. Thanks again to the staff and the general manager Nicole for making my stay perfect. I will strive on my next adventure to look for a Homewood Suites

The hotel has tons of rooms and has a neo-70s vibe without feeling old or dated. The furniture is up-to-date and the carpet feels fresh. I liked how the rooms had neat oil themed art on the walls, it's a nice homage to the city's history. Customer service was excellent at the front desk, my Mom was given two warm cookies upon check-in. This was a nice surprise for us after a long drive from SoCal! Our concierge Rodrigo was spot-on, he provided a detailed explanation of the property's layout and informed us about the hotel's many features. Note, there isn't complimentary breakfast at this location. Any food from the restaurant is available for an extra cost by dining at the establishment. My Mom and I felt safe throughout the duration of our stay. I didn't hear any antics or shenanigans in the middle of the night. Families were quiet and respectful. Every area within the property was well-lit and parking was plentiful. Overall, this hotel is pretty convenient. We didn't have to pay for additional parking fees and we were near several eateries (steakhouse, John's Incredible Pizza, Scrambled, Taco Bell, etc.). Additionally, we were near a major highway! Don't be scared, I never heard a car or honk during the evening. You'll get good sleep here. I'd give the beds a 5/5!
