    FRESH BED BUG BITE
    Maya S.

    Checking in was super easy and the place seemed promising although the outside was sketchy as hell. The room was nice, however, in the middle of the night my son screamed a bed bugs, once he got up I noticed I was bitten as well. I left that hotel in the middle of the night to spend $200 at the CY Marriott. Priceline contacted them about my refund and they have not answered the request. I am in NO WAY paying to be bitten by parasites!! Thankfully my son felt the stinging it saved us from being eaten up!!

    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!!!!!

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.

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.

The beds were made with a clean bottom sheet and the filthy blanket directly on it with a top sheet over it. I flipped that around but the room was cold and the heater blower smelled like cigarettes and vomit. Amazingly the bed wasn't too bad. 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. It was really bad. Think twice before getting a room there.

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

We only stayed 1 night so no big deal but I'd need to hang clothes if I was staying longer. Lots of lamps, light fixtures. I like that. Compact kitchen, everything was clean and in good working order. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers were on the floor of the shower, not affixed to the wall as they usually are. That was different. Maybe there's remodeling going on. It worked. Wanted to hook up wireless earbuds to TV last night and couldn't. The Hilton chat option in the app was pretty easy to work. Found the fitness center and the treadmill worked. Water refill worked. Fitness center was clean and there were towels available. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and tasty (early start time of 5 am on weekdays). I enjoyed oatmeal with brown sugar, cranberries and slivered almonds; also tried the chia pudding. Only 1 type of milk available and it wasn't labeled so maybe whole, maybe 2%? Other hotels on this road trip had options of milk and I appreciate that. Lots of food options so that's good. Overall good stay. Thanks

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!

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!
