Motel 6 Bakersfield, CA - Airport

"I stayed while traveling on business. I knew it was going to rough going in, but things are out of control to where I couldn’t even work in my room. Like typical California, the hotel grounds are populated by a LOT of homeless. Sketchy characters, drug use, families that live there, etc. Absolutely do NOT stay here if you are traveling with a female or family. I was expecting that to begin with and I was a solo male so I was not worried about that. However, the homeless here keep pit bulls which bark at all times of day. I couldn’t conduct Zoom/Teams calls or even have a normal phone call due to the noise level. It should be illegal for homeless to keep such dangerous animals; tragedy waiting to happen. Trash bins were emptied out only once during my 4 day stay which is highly inadequate given the level of homeless activity. The room itself was decently clean (the south building is reserved for paying normal guests which is nice). The amenities were non-existent however, no microwave, iron, fridge, and even the cable was only standard definition which is ridiculous given that you can get HD with a $10 tv antenna. Business traveler beware."

"Great customer service in the front desk,Selena at front desk is a great clerk and is prompt with getting rooms ready and on time.I would also like to commend the entire housekeeping staff as well as the maintenance department!! I could never forget to mention the woman who has changed motel6 100 percent around to being a place I don't mind staying at every time my family visits!! Thanks Tina and Tony for being the best management so far.I can say this because I've stayed at the same motel 6 every time I come her for the past 5 years or more!"

"Do not stay here if you want comfort, safety and cleanliness. The room was “clean” but the cigarette smell was horrible. I always bring Lysol and room spray but that did nothing for it. There were people hanging around the property, dogs chained to the back fence. Luckily we were barely in the room and just slept there."

"Homeless looking in cars. room was dirty. Multiple people going in and out of rooms. Don't feel safe here. Security guard just walks past them. Playing on his phone. Glad I'm leaving in a couple of days."

"Great experience all around, the rooms were clean, towels were nice and new. Housekeeping staff was friendly and unobtrusive. Eli at the front desk was especially pleasant and very helpful. Only down side is the location...if you don't have a car it's a bit of a walk to any other amenities."
