I was so excited to hear that my hometown of Bakersfield has a Marriott. It opened for business 10/31/08. I was in town for a graduation with my senior parents and kids, and this ended up being the perfect hotel for us. Check-in was easy and we were given exactly what we wanted (adjoining rooms). We had a nice view... more

I stayed here with a friend last April when it was the Holiday Inn Select. We were here for a sorority function and made late reservations, so we could only stay at the Best Western for Saturday night. So we booked a room here for Friday night. I was expecting the Holiday Inn of my business travel days in the... more

Earlier this month I drove up from L.A. to visit an old college friend I hadn't seen in awhile who had recently relocated to Bakersfield.

This was a HUGE impact... more

The hotel was perfect for a one night stay while traveling from Sacramento to LA. The rates were down to $98 per night for a class 4 Marriott. After driving around Bakersfield and observing the depressed economy, I know understand the price. We were one of maybe 3-4 guest in the entire hotel. The streets of Bakersfield were like a... more

Late last year, some friends and I decided to see Neil Diamond in concert first chance we could find. We checked for tickets and saw he was playing in Bakersfield at the Convention Center, only about 2 hours drive. So we bought the tickets. Where to stay? We heard about the new Marriott attached to the Convention Center so why... more

I stayed here for business Dec 1 - 5, 2008. A couple of corrections to the first post. This is NOT a new hotel. In fact, the hotel has been there for a very, very long time. What is new is the branding of this hotel as it had been the Holiday Inn Select for who knows how long (decades,... more
