Hotel Homewood Suites Bakersfield (Bakersfield, USA)

The general decor and layout of the suites all help to make the area feel more like home, complete with a full cooking area and living section that's more than adequate for hosting a small social gathering. You'll feel relaxed and comfortable in such a familiar setting.

Having a laundry area and full gym on-hand is one of the biggest advantages to booking here. You won't miss anything from home since the on-site facilities cover the majority of your needs, and anything else you desire can be picked up at a small store on the premises.

Reaching the nearby university campus has never been easier. The start of the campus is just a single block away, and most of the athletic fields for the school can be reached within a minute or two of driving. If you're visiting the school or seeking safe, quiet surroundings, this is a huge plus.

The included kitchenette units in every suite are packed with appliances and amenities, but that's part of the overall issue. The spaces are simply too small to be considered comfortable, and you'll have a hard time moving with more than one person in the kitchenette.

If you're a late riser or just looking to sleep in, be wary of the breakfast policy. Breakfast isn't served past a generally early hour in the day, which mostly caters to guests who are looking to hit the road or check out early. Set an alarm if you plan to eat.

In many rooms and hallways, the air-conditioning units are well past their intended age and have trouble keeping spaces cool. This is a large problem in this area of California, which is known for extreme heat during the summer and spring.
