Best Three Star Hotels in Kern County

Large room equipped with small kitchen area with microwave and coffee machine. Bed comfortable. Large TV, although placed between lounge area and bedroom it was easy to swivel to area you needed. as mentioned there is also a good seating area. Breakfast was included and although only a small choice it was perfectly adequate with both hot and cold food available. Bathroom etc was clean and water pressure good. Only a one night stay but very comfortable and welcoming.

I chose this property over the newer one near the airport because of the great and better reviews it received here on TripAdvisor. Although in a semi-industrial area I was pleasantly surprised that the grounds were very nice and lush and I felt safe. The front desk personnel were friendly and answered my numerous questions with a smile. I got a two queen bed room on the 4th floor. Everything was clean (there were some dust bunnies and an out of reach water bottle under one of the beds of which I notified the housekeeping staff as I was leaving). It was just a few blocks off of I-99 and there were several eating options available nearby. There is also a Costco three blocks away. I ordered dinner take out from the nearby La Imperial Taqueria - it was great. There is a nice indoor pool, an exercise room and an in house bar and restaurant where they served full service breakfast which I enjoyed before I left (not complimentary - but there were several delicious options). When my travels take me this way again I will choose to stay here. Thank you for your hospitality!!

Driving from the Bay Area to Death Valley, we decided to stay one night at this Marriott to break up the drive. It also allowed us to redeem a Marriott e-certificate. In our experience sometimes using an e-certificate gets you the most modest accommodation available. This was not the case here. Consistent with our profile we were given a room on the 8th floor looking south toward the mountains. Granted we were also looking over the back parking lot but we believe that was better than overlooking the busy street in front of the hotel. We found the room to be well appointed and up-to-date. We were frankly a little surprised given other reviewers more critical comments. We admit we were probably fortunate that there were no events at the adjacent convention center so things were probably a little slow in the hotel anyway. Regardless, we were delighted to have registration allow us an early check-in (at 2:00 pm). It allowed us enough time to explore the city a little before going out to dinner. Self-parking, at no charge no less, was convenient and allowed us easy access into the hotel right near the elevators. It was a perfect layover experience.

Please bear in mind there is no food no breakfast no services of any kind as far as I can tell. Except for perhaps the gym and Business center maybe. If you want water they will charge you. And even though some places will claim that they have breakfast there is literally nothing. You can get a cheaper hotel with better services. Also the building was noisy it is lacking soundproofing. Also the staff is not wearing masks so if you consider masks a reasonable thing a business could do to make you feel like they're trying to keep you a little bit safer, this is not the place for you.

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.

I'd give the hotel a 5 star rating if it weren't for the horrific experience checking in. The woman was beyond rude-sarcastic, insulting, demeaning. I have never (thank goodness) been treated in such an unacceptable manner. I got the card for the GM's email and sent in detail my experience. To date-I've not heard a response. If it was received, another layer of disappointment. If it went to spam that's understandable. I'm happy to relate this to management-if they're interested. The hotel itself is a bit dated. But we found it clean, comfortable and quiet. The evening social was a complete dinner-meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn, salad, rolls and wine or beer. It was delicious! Breakfast the next morning was good as well. Freshly made breakfast sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, etc. I commend the hardworking kitchen staff for their work. Other reviews mentioned a negative location. We did not find this to be true. A few miles from the freeway and off a main road. We felt as safe as one can be. Again-the rating would be much higher if not for one individual who made quite a negative impression. Sad.

This hotel is AMZING! The whole place feels like like an apar**ent! We rented a double room sweet and it had an oven a 4 burner range, a dishwasher two bathrooms and a tv in each room. I love this hotel so much! I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in luxury. Well worth the money

My wife and I stayed at this dump on 12/30/21. The hotel is now and has been under renovation construction for a long time read from previous reviews. Wish we had known this before we booked. The blonde haired lady at the front desk who checked us into room 124 was pleasant and cordial; however, she put us in a room directly under a room being renovated while the hotel was not fully booked. When we were made aware of this fact by the sound of hammering and construction equipment, I went to the front desk to ask the clerk if she could do something about the noise keeping us awake. The blonde haired lady was not there, but another clerk was there (Justine). Justine did not really show much interest in hearing my concern. When I engaged her with my polite request to put a stop to the noise, she informed me that construction crews were authorized to work up until 7 pm (though the hammering stopped after 7 pm, we could hear what sounded like light construction and foot traffic stomping around above us at 1 am). Justine was pretty rude in that as I stood at the counter requesting her assistance, she would not offer up any dialog but rather she stared into her computer monitor and typed away without showing me the courtecy of looking me in the eye and offering up dialog. I explained that I needed to get to sleep now for an early morning departure, but she pretty much just shrudged her shoulders and said that she couldn't do anything about it. I requested that she refund our money and that we would be on our way, but she responded that she was not authorized to do that and that I would need to talk to the manager who would be in the following morning. Onto the room critique: A faint smell of urine could be detected in the entryway. The room and bathroom were dark and dingy (missing light bulb in the bathroom). No microwave in the room. The hallway leading to our room had duct tape across the floor holding down the carpets. The cost for this horrible experience was $133 and change. We have stayed at many Holiday Inn Express hotels nationwide and this one rates at the bottom of the list. It seems that HIE quality control is hit or miss. It just depends on the individual hotel owner. My advise is to my fellow Tripadvisor travellers would be to continue on beyond Lebec to a more populated location such as Santa Clarita southbound or Wheeler Ridge or Grapevine northbound and AVOID THIS HOTEL LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

This review happen during CoVID (Feb 2022). My wife and I where visiting friends in Bakersfield. We spent one night. The hotel is located right off the freeway in an industrial area with other hotels located around it. The area around the hotel has a lot of fast food restaurants and some sit downs. But with that said we had a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The check in process was quick and easy. They have a little shop next to concierge where you can but chips, soda, and candy. The lobby was nice and the restaurant was open (Happy to see it was open). The room was nice, clean, and with plenty of room. For one night in Bakersfield it was perfect. We would stay here again.
