We were exhausted after driving from Phoenix in a sand storm. We stopped here, as it was the first place we saw. The sign said 35.99, but of course it ended up being close to 80.00 with 2 dogs. Im disappointed they even charged for dogs, as the dogs were cleaner than the room. It was pretty gross. The TV... More

This is the first of what is essentially a two part review, but I didn't think it was fair to combine them into an "average." I have stayed at this property several times as a way to break up the 8 hour drive from northern California to Palm Springs and be able to get in a round of golf on... More

I stayed at this place on February 19 and enjoyed my stay. I was traveling alone and the lady at the front desk made sure I was in the front building close to the office. The room was clean and smelled fresh. There was a refrigerator in the room as well. I had a really nice rest. The next morning... More

Helpful staff got us room situated as requested. Alma is an angel. She saw to it that belongings left behind were safe and returned intact. Vagabond is extremely fortunate to have such an honorable capable employee.

Stayed here while driving between LA and Danville. Stayed here as it was 1am, I was tired and needed somewhere to sleep that was less than a steak at a Vegas chop house. They offered a rate of about $40 which fit the bill completely. I didn't want to pay by credit card which naturally engenders suspicion in the US,... More

Drove through Bakersfield and needed a place to stay. I obtained the coupon rate, which was pretty good. The location had nice wireless. There is a friendly guard, though the presence of anyone in that capacity makes one a bit uncomfortable. The room was sufficiently clean.

We stayed for two nights and liked it. The room was clean and had a little table and chairs, perfect to work on the laptop during the day. They offered waffles for breakfast. The staff were nice. It is next to a busy road but the noise level was ok. Walmart is just across the street.
