What guests think

Across recent reviews of Americas Best Value Inn & Suites-East Bakersfield, travelers frequently note basic, budget-friendly stays with generally clean rooms, friendly front-desk experiences, and an appreciated indoor pool and hot tub that offer welcome relaxation after long drives.

Many value the low price and amenities like an in-room fridge and microwave. Multiple reviews describe a sketchy area with homeless activity and occasional police presence, and some report significant noise from trains, traffic, and thin walls. Feedback on service and upkeep is inconsistent, citing early housekeeping entry, reservation or refund troubles, cigarette burns, bugs or odors in some rooms, and sporadic issues with pool access or water clarity.

Staff was very nice and the room was clean. The bed was the most comfortable we slept on during our road trip. It’s a diamond in the rough, the neighborhood isn’t great but the indoor pool was spotless clean. If you just need a place to stay for the night I would recommend

Like: clean room, comfortable bed, indoors pool and jacuzzi, friendly check-in and housekeeping staff, fridge and microwave in room, my room was on 1st floor and was accessible from the inside hallway and from the parking lot. Did not like: outside noise can be heard on the room, jacuzzi water too hot for enjoyment, no staff was available at checkout

Nice place to stay With family. Indoor pool was great for the kids. My only complaint it we were next to the washer and dryers. Well then we’re going all night long. The worst part was when people would put their money in. Bang bang bang is all we heard off and on all night. Pool is closed at 10 so should the masher and dryers. So if you stay here be sure to not get the room next to the washer and dryers.

Stayed 1 night

Upon arrival I opened the drawer to the nightstand and found drugs right next to the Bible! I had no time to change hotels or rooms because I was on a business trip and couldn’t afford to run late. I accepted the fact that I was staying in the same room as a drug addict was and obviously wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. Also, the room looked like it had flooded before because the bottom of the wall next to the floor had water damage all along the bathroom and vanity area. The nice thing they did let us check in a half hour early. We weren’t able to check out until 9am, when I wanted to check out at 7am. But do to her being the only staff, I had to wait for the housekeeper to come in. She ended up being late and the staff gave me my deposit without checking the room. We didn’t go swimming because the water looked very murky.

Its a 3 out of 5 for the price you're paying. The fridge is big and spacious with a freezer. The pool is heated and relatively clean. The blowdrier has a light that never turns off at night. The comforter has cigarette holes. The fridge was not properly cleaned because there were bottles of water, housekeeping clearly didnt do their job. Crumbs of god knows what in the drawers. The toilet was not properly scrubbed. No one has access to the pool. You constantly have to ask them to open the door for you. They are strict with specific swim wear. My husband wore a polyester swim shirt. It wasnt until the second day they decided to complain about it even though they only said no cotton. Its creepy that they constantly are starring at you while you swim. Thin, but very thin walls. You will not sleep unless you're used to sleeping in an apartment. The only reason we came jere was because our preferred hotel was booked. It was decent for what you pay, but if you dont mind spending more for an overall better all quality, do it.

Like: the staff was friendly and the heated pool and the jacuzzi was perfect for relaxing after a long working day.. Did not like: too noisy you can hear was going on the neighboring rooms also the street traffic and the train that goes by frequently, the entire property can use some TLC, at the time of check in the property was being painted and the lobby entrance was cordon off with out any directions on where do you suppose to check in

I had to change rooms twice because they couldn’t get a television to function on the channel that I desired, which is a standard cable cat channel that they had running in the office, but it wouldn’t run in the room. I finally asked for a refund, checked out and went to a hotel that had a television that worked.
