Positive Reviews
positive:
Handy location between downtown and airport
The location of this property appealed to air and rail passengers as the airport was just a short drive away as was downtown Bakersfield with its Amtrak station. Despite the proximity of the Golden State Highway, many reviewers said they found their rooms to be quiet. Drivers loved ample free parking and said it was hassle-free to reach area attractions, beauty spots, shopping malls and golf courses. Moreover, it was handy that there were petrol stations, bus stops and shops nearby as well as dining options within easy walking distance.
