Ramada by Wyndham Bakersfield North

10/10 Excellent

"Cute hotel. Clean, the front foyer and even the halls smell great. Helpful and friendly staff. Great room. Pleasant stay. Will book again when in the area"

The Padre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional hotel. The staff was extremely friendly, and the rooms were immaculate and stylish. It’s the perfect boutique hotel in the center of downtown Bakersfield. This isn’t a Hilton, Radisson, Home2 Suites, or any other cookie-cutter chain hotel with bland décor and zero personality. You’re staying at a true boutique hotel with real charm and class. It’s not a utopia—parking can be inconvenient. Valet runs about $18 a day, and street parking is limited. That said, it’s still highly recommended."
