We made a reservation on Hotwire and ended up with the Red Lion. Having never stayed at a Red Lion before I had no basis for comparing it to other Red Lion properties and was not sure what to expect. When I called to confirm my reservation someone answered immediately and was very professional and helpful on the phone. We ended up having a very positive stay.We arrived late but were greeted by friendly staff. There were also fresh cookies in the lobby and my boyfriend loved the $2 energy drinks in the vending machine. They gave us a nice room on the second floor with a nice large balcony and a sliding glass door overlooking the swimming pool. The location of the room was great. The room was clean though the carpet could probably use a steam cleaning, there were a few spots in the room and in the hallway. The furniture etc. was in good condition. There was a free hot breakfast in the morning which was really convenient. Also the hotel was right off the highway which was great since we were just passing through. I left a pair of earrings in the room when we checked out. When I called the hotel the staff was nice enough to retrieve them from our room and hold them at the front desk until we came back through Bakersfield 3 days later. I was impressed.
