Best Kept Secret

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Mar 5, 2019
We don't stay in Bakersfield too often because we live in Tehachapi, BUT on rare occasions we do and for some reason had not discovered this gem. Very pleased with our stay! There was a sit down breakfast with a nice choice of menu items. Our room was very quiet and comfortable. I can't think of anything to say that isn't good about this property or our stay!

Was pleasantly surprised on my visit to Bakersfield. First time here on business and found the place to be clean and nicely appointed. I got in late and did not feel like driving and searching for dinner. They have a Mexican restaurant right on the property and the food was awesome! They also had a full breakfast available at the same restaurant in the morning. Very comfortable and quiet. I will be back!

Room was fair, amenities in the shower were empty. Finding out after you started to shower. Heating blew cold air sometime. The odor in the room was musty. The tissue dispenser fell apart and separated from the bathroom counter. Over all it all was tolerable not worth $168.00 a night would have exspected a bit more class.of a room.

I no longer live in Bakersfield, but come back for business and family.
I stayed here in August 2018 (9 nights) and then January 2019 (ended up being 14 nights).
The Hill House is clean, I feel secure (stayed on the 2nd floor), parking is good, well-lit, fenced. Mini fridge and microwave help make it a good value. Room was roomy, nice sized TV, seemed well-insulated (unit did not turn on/off much). Shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion (all in wall dispensers) are of medium quality - not a deal breaker. Mattress and sheets felt fine, I slept well. Oh, the towels were excellent !
Breakfast is fine- not too much food and people are nice. Lobby coffee is good and strong.
Newspaper (the daily local paper) - was there the first 2 days, then didn't see it again.
Very interesting to the different languages of guests. I heard French, a Slavic language, some sort of Scandinavian, etc.
All the staff that I interacted with were polite and professional.
This is my place to stay in Bakersfield!

After a long day of driving we checked in to a very nice room with a comfortable king bed, a small couch and coffee table, microwave and small refrigerator. At first we were disappointed that there weren't a lot of restaurants nearby, but we didn't want to drive so we went to the Mexican and Seafood restaurant next door. We are used to good Mexican food back home, so we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the dinner. It was just great comfort food, and the service was so friendly and attentive. The next morning we were able to order a yummy breakfast off the menu! I would definitely recommend this hotel!

The checkin process was fast and easy.

The pool was closed for maintenance while we were there.

The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were not as comfortable as other best westerns I’ve stayed at. You could not really hear outside noise in the rooms which is nice.

The breakfast was made to order. It was very fast and tasty.
