Hourglass Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"I Love staying here! Quick getaway"

Ramada by Wyndham Bakersfield North

10/10 Excellent

"Along with everything else it's very convenient to shops and restaurants."

Courtyard by Marriott Bakersfield

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Bakersfield Central

8/10 Good

"Overall a good stay. The room was clean, the parking was easy and it was relatively close to the I-5 freeway (sort of). The breakfast was mediocre at best but it was free so I can’t complain too much. Bacon would have been better than the sausage patties that gave me a stomach ache later. But it was just a pit stop on our way to So Cal and it was fine for that purpose."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Bakersfield

10/10 Excellent

"Great remodel going on and yet the location was warm, welcoming , and clean."
