What guests think

Across recent reviews, Residence Inn Bakersfield earns praise for friendly staff, spacious suites with full kitchens, and generally quiet, comfortable stays, while feedback also notes an older property with some dated decor, occasional cleanliness lapses, and inconsistent breakfast quality.

Guests like the pool and outdoor seating areas, including pickleball or basketball courts, though a few mention a separate parking fee. Location is convenient to restaurants and shopping, but several reviews describe the surrounding area as less appealing, with occasional traffic or late-night disturbances. Some report maintenance issues such as water temperature, a difficult sofa bed or worn mattresses, and sporadic key or door problems. Overall, it delivers a practical, value-focused stay.

This stay is exceptional comfort. Large room with full kitchen that is very well appointed. Nice living room area. As an older couple the fact that it is easy to unload and load our luggage is a big plus. Beautiful outdoor sitting/ grilling area with pickleball court or basketball court. Lovely grounds.

I would definitely stay at this property again due to the property being clean safe friendly staff who did meet all my needs. There only suggestions I have is including parking fee in the total amount of fees charged instead of pulling from the deposit. I will definitely be staying here again.

Good side of highway 99. Pubes in bathroom. Drapes torn and one cigarette hole. Room appeared clean, smelled slightly of pet. Tub appeared to have slight ring. Shower head doesn't fire all holes. One glass had fruit juice debris. Ceiling above heater vent looked smokey. Value for price is acceptible but I will pay a little more for mych higher quality next time.

family stay in 2 bedroom. check in was easy and room was mostly clean. the smell, which seemed to be from carpet was not pleasant. it was a combination of carpet cleaner and dog pee. couldn’t open any windows so we cranked the AC/fan which helped somewhat. this was a bottom floor unit, which we asked for since our kids can be loud. in hindsight i imagine dog owners are more likely to stay in ground unit so would def try for a second floor unit if stayed here again. lots of eating choices nearby and relatively quiet.

I love Residence Inn, and I look for it every time I travel. Pros: Comfortable, clean, spacious rooms, good parking lot, and nice, helpful staff. I was traveling for business so it was nice to have a good desk space and comfortable chair. Cons: Not the best neighborhood, and lots of traffic noise. Overall it was a good stay.
