Howard Johnson Inn - Bakersfield - Bakersfield

The last 2 times I was at this location was horrible. This last time was the worse. The WiFi didn't work, AC didn't work, had to switch rooms. New room didn't have extra blankets, the water wouldnt get hot & the TV kept going out. When the TV did work the remote didn't. Not happy.

I was satisfied in every way. Great staff, clean room, great experience in every way .

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room was clean, bed was extremely comfortable, and staff was friendly. I would definitely stay here again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very much in need of a makeover, the carpet was stained and worn, the wall paper was peeling, and the general condition of the facility was very poor.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is very convenient, right off the highway but we would think that the hotel would have adequate windows, DOUBLE-PANE, to ensure a comfortable stay and night. It was extremely noisy.Good price/quality though.

I was expecting a better experience, both the room and the linen on the bed were dirty. I stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms and both were dirty and smelled really really disgusting. I will not staying there ever again

Everything was excellent. The service staff were awesome. Friendly, helpful, professional and eager to assist. Sat. night was the usual Sat. night at a hotel. SOME guests were loud, drinking, rowdy, etc. One group of folks threw an open patio umbrella into the pool. (My room was 3 feet from the pool) They were not respectful of the hotel OR other guests. […] I would like to see some form of night time security, especially since I am a single, older woman. The guests directly next to me got into a loud argument, yelling and slamming doors. However, I must say, the overall stay was pleasant, convenient and enjoyable. Read more

We paid $10.00 instead of the $5.00 that we were told when we booked this hotel through your 800 number. The room was unbelievably malodorous with the stink if cat's urine. The carpet was filthy and frayed at the area of the door entrance. My dog had difficulty sleeping in that room. We were too tired to change so I doused it with perfume to make it […] somewhat tolerable. I have been in many other pet friendly hotels and motels but this one was the worst!!Will never return there again!!! Read more

I had a prepaid Expedia reservation for 3 nights in a smoking room. When I arrived the lady workIng said she didn't have a smoking room. She said she had given the last one to someone else by mistake. I said ok maybe you can move me to a smoking room tomorrow. She called her manager and was told no she couldn't move me the next day. The manager also […] told her to put my credit card on file since I was a smoker in a nonsmoking room. The other check ins did not require a credit card. I provided the card and asked why. Again I was told they only needed my card because I'm a smoker. Most hotels take a card. That's no big deal but to have that policy only for smokers is pretty rude. Not as rude as the desk staff but still. I got to my non smoking room and was met with a horrible stench. I finally found a full baby diaper in a dresser drawer. I guess the last guest wasn't happy either. There was a "lady" in the room next door who had a different gentleman caller every hour or two all night. The heat didn't work. The TV cut in and out. The wi fi wouldn't stay connected. There was no coffee any of the three mornings I went in the lobby for the cold cereal they call breakfast. I asked them to make coffee because the pot was empty. The lady didnt lift a finger The shower had no hot water the toilet ran all night Overall this place is dirty rude and frankly unsafe. Spend an extra $5 and go across the street. I did I I'll never go back to this or any Howard Johnson. Read more

Moving between Sacramento and Las Vegas, I stayed with my dog for the night, i needed a room with an easy access to the outdoors and this place fit the bill. There were some bad parts, the fleas my dog got, torn chair and the urine stain on the mattress box but the cleaning staff tried to make everything as clean as they could. If you are just spending […] the night I would stay again but if you were going to stay for more than a night, I'd spend extra and go elsewhere. Read more

they advertise free WiFi when I attempted to use WiFi it was password protected so I call the front desk and was given a code that was not correct...when I called the front desk and explained this I was told.I could come to the lobby and use it there. Apparently they turn HBO off after 11,but something was altogether wrong with my TV because it only […] received the local channels and none of the cable channels. This would have been ok during the week,but I was there during the weekend. The room had a funny smell. The carpet was stained. The free breakfast that started at 6:30 am was no where to be found when I went down at 7:15. I guess it could have been 6:30 pm and I was all twisted around. Long story short this was not worth the money spent. I will never stay at another Howard Johnson in any city again. Read more

comfortable and clean

Friendly staff, clean room (in terms of a motel). Not in a good neighborhood, I saw 2 cops were checking a vehicle and I talked to them. They said someone broke in a house and they were trying to find that guy. Their suggestion was "There's nothing good here, don't stay here for too long." But anyways, it's ok for one night. There's also a restaurant […] in walking distance. Read more

PATHETIC

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is a center for exchange of something bad !!! People were running from room to room almost naked and cars were arriving and leaving like a drive thru in the middle of the night….The worst nightmare!!!

No wifi in my room and they refused to switch my rooms. I had to go outside to get internet. poor service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Roach in hotel room! There is nothing more I need to say.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We come to Bakersfield often to visit family and have usually stayed at another hotel that has really gotten shabby. Howard Johnsons is clean and seems to be well kept. Our only problem was the noise from the street outside and from the people in the room next door. My only other problemm was that your "breakfast" is really lacking. I am diabetic and […] so I can't eat anything that you offer for "breakfast" so we had to go some place else. There are a lot of people who stay in your hotel that are diabetic I would think you would make some changes with us in minid. Read more

When I got this room through Hotels.com the reason that I got it was because it said it had free WiFi. When I get to the desk and get everything done with registration I ask if there is a code for the WiFi. I was then informed that there was no promise of WiFi free or otherwise. I informed them that was the only reason I got that room and they said […] "sorry" nothing they could do about it now. So I go to my room (which was supposed to be downstairs because i have a bad back, but was instead upstairs) and I quickly go to use to bathroom. There was a "Sanitized" wrapper around the toilet but when I lifted the lid there was excrement sitting in there. When I called the front desk they said "Sorry"...that was it, no offer to move me and when I asked to be moved they said they couldn't. Read more

The wi-fi doesn't work which is not very convininant especially because for some reason the cell phone service does not work very well either. The laundry facility is out of service.

The room was musty smelling, wall paper coming off the walls. The mattress old and sunken in where you lay. The night window is in a poor place. You could get mugged and no one woul dever see you there. Poor location, under the stairs.

The room was smelling so bad, that I had to spray half a can of a deodorant.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My stay was nice and the location is right off the freeway. My only problem with the room was with the table and chair they provide in the room but with no electrical outlet near by to plug a laptop into. I had to borrow an extension cord and run it from the bathroom just to be able to work while I was there. Also make sure you get a room with a fridge […] if you're staying more than 1 night.

Had everything I needed for a quick overnight stay - free wi-fi that could stream netflix, a decently clean room, and not-being sketchy. Room smelled a little funny.

The positive about the hotel is the friendliness of the staff. It is close to the freeway which was convenient. The room was clean, had an iron and ironing board, plus hair dryer which were needed on this trip, plus it had it's own coffee pot. HOWEVER, the picture on hotels.com was misleading. It shows a very "comfort" type bed. It was not. Though I […] have slept on worse, it was a very old bed with average comfort. All in all, for the price, it was as good as many that I have stayed in that were much more expensive. Read more

We got in late and the gal at the front desk was courteous and friendly. I asked for downstairs room because of my wife's health but none were available. She gave us an upgrade room near the second upstairs level.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The best motel for the price that I have stayed at so far.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was amazed how inexpensive it was but mostly how comfortable the beds are. You will enjoy as well.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was there on business and just looking for a place to sleep. My only complaint is that my non-smoking room reeked of cigarette smoke. Also, only fast food resteraunts are in close vicinity to the hotel, to get a good meal, I had to drive a few miles to find it.
