DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bakersfield

Great place! Total blast from the past with a 70’s vibe. Everything has a very old school feel to it. Unlike most hotels, the rooms have a slider door with a balcony. Pool is large, hot tub is hot… palm trees surround the pool side court yard. Some highway noise on the highway 99 side rooms- which doesn’t bother me. Rodrigo at the front desk is awesome- Very kind and accommodating. Please keep the current feel of this hotel and don’t change a thing!

I stayed at this property from the 18th to the 21st and ended up extending one extra night because I got sick and wasn’t well enough to travel. To be honest, if that hadn’t happened I probably would have checked out earlier. On my second night, while I was in the bedroom, I saw a massive cockroach. I completely panicked as I really hate insects, especially cockroaches. It happened around midnight and I immediately called the front desk. To their credit, the staff handled it quickly and allowed me to change to another room, which I appreciated. Before that incident I actually liked the room. It was spacious and when I first saw it I thought it was nice. However, after seeing the cockroach it completely changed my perception of the stay. It made me question how clean the hotel really was, and unfortunately it really put me off for the rest of my time there. I want to be fair and say that the staff were helpful in the moment and did move me to another room quickly, but the experience itself definitely affected my overall impression.

I recently stayed here, and I have quite a bit to say. The location was so-so, with some rooms facing the highway. The atmosphere was chill and quiet, which was a plus (unless you were by the pool). The cleanliness was awesome, and the room was very clean. It had a decent pool, as well as several conference rooms. The value was very good, and it was a great budget hotel. My only issue, is that we were required to pay to call people in SF.

Positive: The location of my room, top floor pool side view and the atmosphere was pretty chill. Negative: My pillow case were not clean, had to request clean ones. Also, the waitress at the bar was very rude.

This is an outstanding hotel. The room was immaculate, well appointed, quiet, and comfortable. There'd been fog overnight and the staff offered--not in response to any request from me, but from observing the weather and my travel situation--a late checkout. I ended up not needing it but was impressed at the initiative and thought that offer captured. Would definitely stay here again if my travels take me through Bakersfield.

This place is Awesome! It’s a 70’s Flashback, I wouldn’t change a thing!! I’m so tired of this world expecting a futuristic Robotic, AI atmosphere. I love the old school vibe, pool and hot tub is perfect! Please don’t change anything and those of you giving a poor review must be a Gen Z or Millenial. Take you and your Tesla elsewhere! Quit screwing with what is already cool and has a nostalgic vibe!!!!!

Lots of great things about this hotel. Rooms are clean. Decent pool. Restaurant had good breakfast and dinner. Not a lot of options for dinner, but good for a bite after a long day. Service is excellent, very polite and helpful. The hotel layout is the main reason for the 4 instead of 5, with no great paths to the rooms far from check-in. To minimize the impact you can walk though the courtyard. You can also park your car near entrances closer to your room, however that requires stairs. If you have heavy luggage plan ahead. The other small comment I'll make is one of the ice machines was out on the first floor, making the walk for ice several minutes. I've stayed here many times over the years, and generally am happy and am sure I'll return in the future.
