On the first day in the USA, after a long flight from Australia, Bakersfield was as far as we wished to drive on our way north from LAX, on our way to Yosemite. The hotel was excellent value, upstairs room, pleasant, good decor and furnishings, and helpful reception staff. We booked on the internet, received a Seniors rate, and a... more

I was working in Bakersfield for a few days and stayed at this hotel. It must have been recently remodeled. The rooms are quite nice. They also contain a fridge and microwave. The bed linnens are upscale. The shower has one of the elephant super shower heads like they talked about on Seinfeld. While I would never choose Bakersfield as... more

We arranged a funeral in Bakersfield for my mother-in-law, and were looking for a place to stay for ourselves and relatives flying in from Oklahoma. We chose the Clarion, and the staff was extremely helpful and gracious. They gave us a special "bereavement" rate, held a block of rooms close together, allowed us to check out late. We all had... more

We were assigned to play in Bakersfield just 2 weeks before our tournament so we were worried about getting enough hotel rooms for our team. We contacted several hotels in the area but felt best about what the Clarion had to offer for the price. None of us were very familiar with the area and had no experience with any... more

We arrived in Bakersfield in the early evening and booked this hotel over the phone. We had no knowledge that this is the carrot capital of the world and reading the local guide the list of vaguely famous people who come from the city. Everyone we met in the city, including at the hotel, were extremely friendly, helpful and full... more

When I got in the shower the first thing that came to mind was the old Hertz rent a car slogan of "We try harder" because that is what the Clarion is trying to do. The newer bowed shower curtain rods and other amenities that the newer more modern hotels have showed me that they are, at least, trying to... more

I scheduled a workshop there for a total of 20 people. I was very pleased with the location - a short distance from the freeway but I did not hear the freeway at night. In addition, there were a number of restaurants close by, formal dining and fast food. The manager was very organized and we had all our workshop... more

I had a decent stay at the Clarion in Bakersfield, California. The people at the front desk were fairly helpful, and they allowed me to check in about an hour early. The room was very large, fairly comfortable and clean. In my guestroom, the bathroom housed only a toilet and a shower, while the sink was in the main room.... more

Easy location right off the freeway. Fast food and sit down restaurant chains also close. Target and Walmart a few miles down the road. Hotel staff accomodating and friendly. At buffet, had toast, juice and coffee. Tasted pretty basic, but it was free. Other breakfast choices are close by, i.e., IHOP right across the freeway. Free internet access in the... more
