The hotel was very clean and well "decorated", equipped with all the amenities one would expect from a nice Residence Inn, but that is where our positive accounting ends. Our room was located on the top floor at the end of the unit, although not in the back. The property borders a railroad track and the noise is unbelieveably loud throughout the entire night. Additionally, after checking in, preparing for bed, then having just fallen asleep, we heard a "key" inserted into the card slot with the door opened as far as the metal catch would allow (thankfully put into place prior to heading to bed) several times. After being emphatically told to leave, the person departed. Within 5 minutes or so we received a call stating the person had been sent to the room to "retrieve something from it". This is at 1:30 a.m.!!!! There was never an apology, an offer of compensation, nothing! We will definitely never stay in that Residence Inn again (possibly any Residence Inn) nor will we recommend it to anyone!

We have stayed at the Residence Inn Bakersfield for five years attending the annual Street Rod car show held at the fairgrounds. We also are able to coordinate several rooms and they are always so helpful at the front desk. The rooms are super clean (we stay in a double room sharing with another couple) and very private. The beds are one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in and you have four pillows of different styles which is great. The breakfast served in the morning has lots of choices, including a self-service waffle maker. Scrambled eggs, cereal, fruit yogurt, etc. There is a pool and tennis courts. Plus the A/C works so good we froze in 100+ degree weather. The wireless worked ok but they do have a phone cable for internet access. I think the only thing I would suggest they change is a darker fabric on the glass doors to the rooms - if someone in the living room turns on a light it shows through. I think it would have been better if a regular door would have been used as opposed to a glass door. A super hotel!

For over 10 years now, Our family has been coming to Bakersfield for racing events at Famoso Raceway. Residence Inn is always our first choice. We've stayed at many other hotels in the area ( when we didn't get our reservation in quick enough). This hotel has never disappointed us. The staff has always been nice and friendly. The rooms have always been spotless. The breakfast buffet is the best around. My kids love the pool, basketball and tennis courts. The rooms have been recently renovated with nice extra touches here and there. We'll be back in March!

What an impressive one night stay. While traveling from SF to Anaheim, this was the only location we could find a Marriott property, to stay for one night, that would break up the 6 hour drive on I-5. We had a 2 king bed room suite on the second floor. It was updated, clean, spacious. Free internet use too. Used the kitchen to make dinner since we were all tired of eating out. All anemities were provided in the kitchen, right down to the dishwasher detergent. There is a Vons grocery store 10 minutes down the road if you need it. However, they have complimentary, nightly barbecues if you happen to stay Mon-Thurs. Having 2 full bathrooms was also great with 3 kids & 2 adults. The pool is small but clean. The laundry area is right next to the pool, so I was able to do laundry & watch the kids swim. The front desk will make change for the laundry machines too. The complimentary breakfast was impressive too. Areas were all clean with standard continental breakfast food, in addition to make your own hot waffles, eggs, sausage, or home-fries. The hot choices were a nice change. This Marriott property truly lived up to the Marriott name.
