Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Bakersfield

If you're going south, drive the extra 29 miles to Bakersfield and stay there. This was our 2nd time of making the mistake of stopping here. NO quiet rooms. Right on the freeway Only fast food was a Mexican roach coach ( which we should have chosen :) or Jack In The Box. The room cost $139.27. The ”Breakfast room” is more of a nook with two small tables. Take the tray from your room, load it up with ...whatever ... go back and nuke it there. The staff was nice and the bed was okay.

The bar is great, they have karaoke every night and the bartenders are awesome! My family comes here all the time. You can order food from the cafe and have it brought to you in the bar. We love the $4.99 pizza. They also have fun drink specials and the apps are 30% off during happy hour (12-5).

Great ambience, from the design to the music, what a great atmosphere. Staff were attentive, polite and welcoming. The pillows, bedding and bed were comforting. Breakfast is great, loved the crispy potatoes with my breakfast and the bar is a great place to have a meal and a deal.

The hotel location is not in the city center, there are many brand hotels next to it, the breakfast is good, there is a large free parking lot. Bakersfield is a passing city, the appearance is not good, but the hotel feels good.

For the price I would expect a wider TV channel line up, staff didn't go over any room service amenities, but overall it was a good stay.

We stayed here for three nights, on a trip with our two service dogs. We reserved our room two months ago because we had planned on going to a drag boat reunion, which ended up being canceled due to the pandemic, not a big deal. We arrived, and paid the 100 dollar deposit, which I paid in cash, but the front desk lady was rude and said that she wanted a newer 100 dollar bill instead of the one that i handed her, which wasn't damaged, it just wasn't new. Other than that, check-in was easy. We reserved a handicap room, but when we got in, the room wasn't clean, towels were dirty,and handicap rooms never use bath tubs, they are usually equipped with a walk in shower. Size of the room was decent for the money. But every night, there were some VERY questionable people in the parking lot, and a homeless man living in his car in their parking lot. When I brought it to the management attention, they said they felt bad for the guy,and don't get me wrong, I feel for these people, but they shouldn't allow homeless to camp in their parking lot. Secondly, all three nights, there were people walking the halls ALL NIGHT long, having unauthorized guests in their rooms, etc. But at the front desk when checking in, they make it clear that NO visitors are allowed, etc. We barely slept due to the constant commotion of people going in and out of the rooms .....lastly when we checked out we left at 6am, but they said we would have to come back at 930am to get our deposit back, but we couldn't stay that long!!! Basically their reception employees are rude, and don't apply their rules of no visitors, they don't care about your safety, they don't adhere to handicapped accessible guidelines, and they need to train their maids to do a better cleaning job,especially when there's a pandemic going on right now. My advice, stay in a motel 6, pay a little bit more per night and stay in a nicer place
