If you have business in this part of Bakersfield, this is the place to stay. Within the H.i.E. Brand, this ranks as one of the nicer properties. There is street noise from the highway (99) and Buck Owens. drive, but that is minor and mitigated by the pleasantness of the hotel. Walk to the Crystal Palace, the Heart Hospital, Zingo's,... More

One of the nicest Holiday Inn Expresses I have ever stayed at. I checked in after a following my moving truck from Las Vegas to Santa Rosa. Told the Hotel Staff I has a 26ft truck, and he arranged a parking spot and gave us a room with a view of the parking spot. The Standard room was a well... More

If you are looking for a hotel with polite staff and a clean look its ideal. If you want undisturbed sleep try else where. It's very noisy on the highway side. Not too much sleep was had by me or the 9 other guests travelling with me. Those who had a room on the "quiet" side had a marginally better... More

While on a last minute business trip with no hotel reservations, my two co-workers and I found most Bakersfield hotels completely booked due to some large sporting events going on in the city. We had a difficult time finding a hotel with 3 vacancies. After making many phone calls to various hotels, we hit on the Holiday Inn Express on... More

I stay at Holiday Inn properties all the time as its my hotel brand of choice and typically clean, quiet and consistent. Originally wanted to check into the HI across the road on Marriott drive, but they were out of double queen rooms due to a tournament group in town. Instead, we turned around and went to this Buck Owens... More

Dear sydra, I appreciate that you took the time to review our property. It is good to know that you found our bedroom accommodations to be comfortable enough for your stay. However, I apologize that the parking condition was not at par with your expectation and the noise levels inconvenienced you. We take all reviews negative or positive very seriously... More

The hotel itself was fine; it's clean, and the service was great. However, I felt that it is not in the best part of town......I am a female and was traveling alone, and I felt like I shouldn't leave the hotel at night. Maybe that was just my own paranoia, but I travel quite frequently by myself and have never... More

We were using our Priority Club points to pay for our night's stay - I hope this wasn't the reason for the unfriendly attitude of the man on reception on our arrival and departure. The reception lobby is very impressive with a curved double staircase - it's a pity the welcome didn't live up to it. Our room was spacious,... More

A comfortable little hotel with great-looking, nicely appointed rooms. When we checked in, the gentleman at the front desk noticed that our car had a fully loaded luggage rack an offered to let us park outside the front door in the porte cochère. We took most stuff inside but enjoyed the piece of mind. The shower console was fancier than... More

A problem with our priority rewards reservation was resolved between central reservations and hotel management. The facility is beautifuly, very clean, and very comfortable. Thanks especially to Cal and housekeeper, Vasquez, for their attention and great service. We will stay again. Jon and Donna
