Sleep Inn & Suites Bakersfield North

"Housekeeping workers are nice, friendly and helpful, but they are the only ones who are. My biggest complaint out of the 3 or so I've had here is that my 5yr old son and I spent 3 days with a clogged toilet and couldn't get any help, it was clogged from the moment I checked in and reported the issue to the front desk 3 or 4 times and they never sent anyone. Maybe I should of complained more but I shouldn't of had to. I ended up having to go find a toilet plunger and plunge it myself. There is 1 gentleman who works the front desk who was friendly, but the rest just do not care. Expect to fix your own issues should any arise, expect to have any requests for help or service ignored. They are almost twice as expensive as the 3 other motels nearby, but you are paying for lipstick on a pig."

"The hotel is close to the airport and food. However, the internet is terrible and the area is a little sketchy with a homeless camp in the street behind the hotel. Rooms are standard and fairly clean. Breakfast is basic."

"There was visible black mold in the shower and the wood beneath the fridge was rotting away! Cigarette/weed burns on the sheets with a slight hint of the smell. Walls are paper thin… Gym is a joke and the location isn’t the best. Broken glass in the parking lot from smashed car windows. Think twice, because guests shouldn’t be the ones finding these things out! Unfortunately, this was a business trip and we couldn’t change hotels!"

"We will NEVER STAY AT A SLEEP INN &SUITE AGAIN. My sister stayed here many times before when she has come to visit family in Bakersfield. So we decided to stay here also this time. We had no coffe maker in our room, the toilet backed up. I had to plunge it myself. No clean towels the whole time we were there. Except when we checked in. No cups, no ice bucket. My sister had all these items in here room. But she only had one bath towel for 2 people. When we asked about the coffee maker; was told they can't control what people take when they check out. Also the night clerk was not very professional looking. He had a black t-shirt, black shorts, & a baseball cap on backwards. I feel he should at least had on a button down shirt on. All the other clerks looked professional. Also we booked 2 months in advance was unable to secure a handicap room. We have had no problems with other hotels we booked early for our trip from Alabama. We stayed in some no chain hotels and had much better stay."

"Despite some unpopular opinions about this hotel, my husband and I actually I had a really nice stay here. The room we had was very large, which was nice. It was clean, and appeared that it had been recently been updated with modern fixtures, bedding, artwork, etc. We were on the second level. There was a nice little spot set up for Continental breakfast, which had ample breakfast snacks, fruit and juices. This particular hotel sits on the main road and not farther back where there are less desirable hotels. The property is enclosed with fencing and the parking lot was well lit. As other reviewers have stated, the area isn't the greatest, but we didn't have any issues whatsoever. People are allowed to walk around and down the sidewalks. Just saying. There was no excess noise, and we even saw law enforcement doing several uneventful drive-thrus. Obviously this hotel can't change its location or who might frequent surrounding establishments, but they definitely are doing the best with what they have to work with. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely consider staying here again. In fact, we probably will!"
