Hotels near Kern Christian Center, Kern County

This review happen during CoVID (Feb 2022). My wife and I where visiting friends in Bakersfield. We spent one night. The hotel is located right off the freeway in an industrial area with other hotels located around it. The area around the hotel has a lot of fast food restaurants and some sit downs. But with that said we had a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The check in process was quick and easy. They have a little shop next to concierge where you can but chips, soda, and candy. The lobby was nice and the restaurant was open (Happy to see it was open). The room was nice, clean, and with plenty of room. For one night in Bakersfield it was perfect. We would stay here again.

Good breakfast, typical American breakfast. We arrived late, and the breakfast allowed us to continue eating for a while. The hotel is a motel with the advantage of free parking, close to the costa, gas station and several fast food restaurants. I came out of Death Valley and went to San Francisco to find a place to rest.

Friendly staff, clean room, good breakfast, free parking

Good breakfast, short stay

Driving from the Bay Area to Death Valley, we decided to stay one night at this Marriott to break up the drive. It also allowed us to redeem a Marriott e-certificate. In our experience sometimes using an e-certificate gets you the most modest accommodation available. This was not the case here. Consistent with our profile we were given a room on the 8th floor looking south toward the mountains. Granted we were also looking over the back parking lot but we believe that was better than overlooking the busy street in front of the hotel. We found the room to be well appointed and up-to-date. We were frankly a little surprised given other reviewers more critical comments. We admit we were probably fortunate that there were no events at the adjacent convention center so things were probably a little slow in the hotel anyway. Regardless, we were delighted to have registration allow us an early check-in (at 2:00 pm). It allowed us enough time to explore the city a little before going out to dinner. Self-parking, at no charge no less, was convenient and allowed us easy access into the hotel right near the elevators. It was a perfect layover experience.

Breakfast is relatively simple, but bread, milk, ham, egg patties and other varieties are also considered complete, room hygiene is absolutely OK, although close to the airport but very quiet, passers-by definitely recommend this

Breakfast is OK, no problem, full Western breakfast. There is a supermarket next door, as well as a fast food restaurant McDonald's. The room is large and there is no problem with children. There is a parking lot at the front and back of the hotel and it is free to stop. There is no kettle, there is a coffee maker, and hotels in the United States (except for homestays) basically do not have a kettle. The hotel is also very clean and hygienic.

I stayed here last Dec 2021 and on my way to assist with a fire as a volunteer with the Red Cross. I booked this hotel via Priceline. When I went to check out of Priceline the screen told me ”the room rate was no longer available” so I went back into the Priceline portal (within the same session) and booked the next available room option at this hotel. On arrival, front desk person, Tina insisted I double booked. I explained the problem and she was ”very quick” to wipe her hands of the problem saying ”if I had of booked the hotel through them she could have done something otherwise take it up with Priceline.” It just doesn't make sense a single traveler would book two rooms! She insisted the only person that could decide if I warranted a refund was Manager, Abigail Murray. When you call for Abigail she is never there nor does she respond to emails! I'm told she's only there two days a week. In the end, Priceline said they couldn’t refund the money owed to me until Baymont authorized the reversal and they claim Baymont refused to credit me back. In my mind, I’ve been double charged and Wyndham/Baymont has STOLEN my money and has been paid twice for services never received. I’ve NEVER received such awful customer service from a Manager of a hotel and someone who has gone out of her way to ignore my reasonable requests and concerns! Simply put, this hotel does NOT deserve your or my business! Please don’t reward them by booking your hotel needs at this location.

A typical motel is the foothold on the road from Death Valley to Sequoia National Forest Park. The town is not big, so the supporting facilities near the hotel are relatively complete. There are supermarkets and restaurants. Parking is also very convenient, just at the door of the room. The room has two floors. The front desk will ask you whether you want to go upstairs or downstairs. We chose downstairs if we had more luggage. The staff are very nice. There is a refrigerator and a microwave in the room, and you can prepare some simple meals for the next day in the big scenic area
