SureStay by Best Western Bakersfield Central

8/10 Good

"Staff was great!!! Room, pool and hot tub was excellent!! Workout room was under construction so that was a bummer. Breakfast needs some serious attention. Coffee and hashbrowns were spot on and excellent. Eggs were pretty bland. Had bacon on only 1 day out of 6. Juice was ok. Suggestions to improve: Fruit (Apples, bananas, oranges) & some cold yogurt please. It was 100 degrees out everyday I was there. Fruit would have been a great addition. Thank you, Garth"
