A Remarkable Scavenger Hunt: Resilient Bakersfield
Top hotels in Southern Oaks

The Padre Hotel
"First time staying. It’s a beautiful property. Room was nice. Kind of stuck doing valet parking since it is downtown and can’t park anywhere else. Only thing was that the bar/restaurant was closed at 10 and not much around to eat open at that time."

Ramada by Wyndham Bakersfield North
"The hotel is conveniently located near the freeway, and the room itself was spacious. The sheets appeared clean, which were two of the few positives of the stay. The mobile “check-in” service they provide for you to do it on your phone was pointless since you have to do it all again during check-in. ..."
