Residence Inn by Marriott Bakersfield

"Updated I was able to speak with the GM and she was very understanding and showed genuine concern. Sincerely appreciate the response from management. --------- Nothing to say about location since it was just one night on a road trip but the room we had was awful. This place is in MAJOR need of a remodel... definitely not up to Marriott standards. Dented fridge, dirty cupboard doors, squeaky worn out mattress, dirty windows... STAY AWAY."

"Everything was great, except for a few things, you may not be a clean freak like us, but there was a dust built up, around the tub was mold, in between stove and countert was a lot of debris ceilings had lots of dust too"

"Rooms were very loud with outside traffic. Hotel should supply ear protection. Old apartments made into motel rooms. Not very clean bathrooms with mildew smell on shower curtains. It is not the best location when it comes to safety. The lock on doors should be upgraded."

"I was debating if I should leave this review or not. But I think it’s important to so that no woman has to suffer how I did. I’ve stayed at this hotel several times and had no issue, so I would normally highly recommend it, but this week an apparent “long term guest” of the hotel tried to break into my room and harassed me late at night. I was staying on the ground floor and a man started knocking on my door, then pretended to be housekeeping (at 10pm), then started tapping on my windows. I called the front desk and they sent a guy to check into it. He found a “long term guest” in the alley and told him about the complaint. It’s no coincidence that, only after I called security, the harassment stopped. Women should not be placed in ground floor rooms here while this man is still a guest. Even as a regular business traveler and the prompt action of the front desk once I called, I don’t think I can ever stay here again and women should be careful here. At least be sure to book a 2nd floor unit so their resident perv can’t tap on your windows late at night."

"One of the first Residence Inns, I'm told. It's set up like an apartment complex with separate sections of rooms. If you like staying in an apartment-style hotel, then this is the place for you. Also, if you don't like walking outside to the gym on a cold morning, try to get a room in the gym's unit. That gym is quite small. It will be packed when there is more than one person. My room, on the other hand, was very spacious and stocked with everything for a long stay. It was clean and well maintained, but it's almost time for an upgrade. Some of my microwave's buttons didn't work, and I forgot to bring it up at checkout. If you get 1221, ask them about the buttons. The hot breakfast was okay. The scrambled eggs, though real, were dry and overcooked both mornings of my stay. There are many breakfast places in the vicinity if you're tired of the free stuff."
