A Remarkable Scavenger Hunt: Resilient Bakersfield
Top hotels in Downtown Bakersfield

The Padre Hotel
"I would give this hotel 5 stars, except for the fact that their rooftop bar is open untill 11pm, With someone who had to get a very early start the next morning, it was impossible to fall asleep early with my room being right above the bar with the music blaring."

Bakersfield Marriott at the Convention Center
"The hotel was okay yet there wasn’t a free continental breakfast. It was extremely loud, kids playing on the elevator and our room was next to the ice machine. Horrible location in town. We’re never staying in Bakersfield again."
