Pros:

The lady at the front desk was nice and friendly. The hotel is close to the freeway and parking was easy.

Cons:

There was an awful smell as we walked from the parking lot to our assigned room on the 2nd floor of the building behind the office. We checked the room and saw that it was pretty decent for the price. However, the pungent & lingering smell was what made us leave and not spend the night at the hotel. We had to find an alternative accommodation in Bakersfield.

The room was unclean, in severe disrepair, and had numerous safety and maintenance issues.
Pros:

I didn't like anything about this facility except its proximity to Starbucks

Cons:

Honestly, if I wasn't exhausted after a long day of driving, I would have left this facility to find different accommodations for the night. The room was not clean and in a state of disrepair. The sink was cracked, the walls had holes, the smoke detector was missing, the deadbolt didn't work, the toilet wouldn't flush properly, the floor under the tub was clearly rotted out and there was a smell of mold. I was concerned about walking on the floor without shoes.

No thanks
Pros:

The staff was nice

Cons:

The facility was just dirty. The room smelled awful. Musty and just gross. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. The shower curtain was ripped in multiple places. The AC when running made the room smell even worse. I almost left early because the air quality was so poor.

Totally for Pets and pet owners!
Pros:

The convenience of location and amenities nearby. They were very friendly and personable. I drove all the way from Lynnwood, WA to pick up a puppy and this place is 100% perfect if you are traveling with a pet. They have free breakfast in the lobby and they were just so very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Booking.com was a little slow with my payment to the property
