Summary: Great hotel all around. Courteous staff, slick bars/restaurants, stylishly comfortable rooms. All with the good ol Bakersfield country vibe.
Katherine Sep 6, 2025 11:51:16 AM
Summary: We went uo there for a wedding, but really enjoyed the amenities there. Walking distance to lots of bars. Could have used firmer pillows on the bed, but that was really the only negative.

Summary: Been wanting to check out the Padre for a while. Hit it in August, when it's extra hot in Bakersfield. Got a spacious corner room with a nice view of the town. Room was very clean, very nice. Didn't take advantage of much else in the hotel, but it was a great stay.

Summary: In Bakersfield there are not a lot of options for a unique and stylish hotel. This is really it! It's a fun older hotel - almost 100 years old but very well kept and rooms are clean and upgraded nicely. There is a "rooftop" bar but we assumed it was on the "roof" - could have been cool to see the view. It's actually on the 2nd floor and they had parties there both nights with a cover so we didn't get to try it.

Summary: Every was lovely: nice decore, comfortable bed, great staff, very clean EXCEPT for when I arrived there was a long black hair hanging on the body wash container. I avoided it during my shower, and the next morning I let the front desk know that the shower needed to be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. I left for some business but when I returned, it was still there. The room had been attended to but the trash was not emptied and the gross hair was still there. I informed the front desk and they sent someone immediately to remedy the issue. This person was very thorough, and I definitely appreciated the quick attention.

Summary: Nice historical site. Walking distance to the Fox Theatre. Love the location.
Nancy Jul 31, 2025 02:36:41 AM
Summary: The hotel was great, but we had dinner in the restaurant and probably would not go there again.
Rita C Jul 21, 2025 06:27:33 AM
Summary: The hotel overall is very good. The beds are comfortable but the pillows ( there is 4 pillows on the king bed) go down to nothing. No support whatsoever. In my room there was an ottoman at the end of the bed. The ottoman is black and so is the carpet, my husband took a horrible fall in the middle of the night. Not safe!!! The coffee shop serves excellent coffee, And the restaurant, although limited menu, had tasty food. The room service is very good too! I’ve stayed at this hotel twice and both times had problems with my room not getting cool enough! This time I had to use a maintenance fan to be able to cope with the heat! The service staff overall is 5 star, from reception, valet, cleaning and so forth! Very friendly, professional and caring!

Summary: Going for a holiday stay was a fun idea. Unhappy to find no events held for that day. All around pleasant stay.
Bart Jul 3, 2025 04:37:17 AM
Summary: This hotel is really a gem. Nicest Hotel in the surrounding 175 miles in any direction if you ask me. Staff was welcoming, room was amazing. A++
