    Being in a room and not on the streets. Everything about this motel is bad literally i only use because im struggling in life and its the cheapest motel in Bakersfield that i can afford so im not on the streets.2 outta all the office staff including the manager are horrible humans who are so outta touch with compassion for others that they should def never have jobs that have them interacting with customers, every housekeeper there including the maintenance workers are a way better fit for dealing with the customers.I really advise the owner to do a undercover look into how the business is being conducted off paper.And how much they screw around letting their egos,attitudes,and old age turn away so many paying customers for quote unquote rules they pick and choose to use depending on their mood and who the customer is.TERRIBLE TERRIBLE MANAGER WHO YOU NEVER SEE BUT LIVES ON PROPERTY that the staff never call when they say only the manager can fix a problem and the 1 or 2 hours u might see her in the am sometime not even a set time shes being rude or yelling at someone kicking someone off the property she had let b there days before shes old and bitter and obviously hates her job so anytime she has to deal with a problem YOU ABSOLUTELY WILL BE CHEWED OUT BY HER AND NOT GET WHAT YOUR REQUEST 9 outta the 10 times this has happened to me and shell yell at you infront everyone n i mean yell and embarrass you and say a bunch of lies she claims housekeeping said so she shouldnt even rent to u anymore n then says shes not n youll beg her to please rent to u forget the request and most times she will and 2 outta ten she will say come back she dont wanna deal with u right now

    The environment at the property felt unsafe as there were plenty of vagabonds standing around the inn. There was a cigarette burn on the bedsheet, and a dead roach in the bathtub. A man started banging at the door of the unit right when we checked in. We decided to leave and check out after 10 mins. Do not recommend the place.

    The breakfast My room was roach infested, and I’m not saying that to be in any way, dramatic. There were roaches coming in through the corners of the walls, climbing up the door and around the bed. At night it was worse, especially if the lights were off so I had to sleep with the lights on because I was worried that bugs were gonna climb on the bed. Aside from that the sheets were extremely dirty, and when I stripped the bed before I left, they visibly were dirty and had cigarette burns in the mattress topper. The other issue is that my door key would not open and multiple times I had to have security unlock my door manually. I stayed at the other Vagabon location in Bakersfield South and comparing the two they are vastly different. I realize that you’re getting your moneys worth for what you pay for, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad because the other location was not this bad.

    If you stay here be sure to not stay on the side where milts is. They say if you have a 93308 a code they put you there automatically the 100 block, be sure to check for roach legs, blood stain in your bed. Only some have comforters, tweakers galore be sure to keep your door locked. Security gaurd is awesome and night shift ladies 10/10. If your coming in the AM get ready for rude old grannies.

    Had to change rooms 3 times in two days....First room was horrible smelled like cigarettes; 2nd room wanst even cleaned before I checked into it...it still had a broken heater and the shower did....so my first night at this place I ....and couldnt even take a warm shower in the morning before my job interview. 3rd room was slightly "better" than the 2nd although that's not really saying much. An the attitude of the staff was pretty bad as well; if they don't want to be 'bothered' by patrons asking for basic things like heat and clean blankets, then perhaps they should consider running a better business. I've stayed at various hotels here in the states and in other parts of the world. This was by far the worst hotel Ive ever stayed in without question...there isn't even a close 2nd. You know it's bad when you would rather eat in your car than to eat in your hotel room!

    The motel is not in a desirable location. The place looks run down. The comforter and curtains looked old and dirty. The bathtub was old and looked like it was patched. It looked pink in that area and had a big crack. There were cockroaches. The people staying next door were drinking and were loud. I do not recommend this place.

    The parking lot did not feel safe. There were many transients hanging around and It did not feel secure for guests or vehicles. They were als drunk people outside my room arguing and using foul language at 2:00 am. The room itself was in unacceptable condition. It was filthy and had roaches. There was no comforter on the bed, and the sheets were visibly dirty. The furniture was old and broken, and the carpet was heavily stained and dirty. Overall, the room was poorly maintained and clearly not properly cleaned before our arrival. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to others.

    Unfortunately, the “better” room they moved me to wasn’t much of an improvement. Cleanliness and overall maintenance were still poor. On top of that, there were a large number of homeless individuals gathered around the property, and many appeared unwell, which made the environment feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Overall, this place is rundown and poorly maintained. I would not recommend staying here.

    I wanna give a shout out to Esmaralda. My son locked himself out of the room. He tried to get a new key, but Esmeralda wasn't gonna give a key to my room to just anyone. She isn't familiar with my son and his name wasn't on the registration. I called and spoke with her. She didn't just take it for granted that I was who I said I was. I had to give her my name and ID information then she, this one time only, allowed my son to get back into the room. I appreciate her caution and not letting just anyone into my room. Hire more people like her.

    We stayed for about one hour. When we walked in, we could see it is in a bad neighborhood, including a homeless encampment in the parking lot. The room had obvious damage -missing smoke detector, missing drawer, there was no tray in the microwave, and some obvious cosmetic damage from burn marks on the microwave and toilet. But, it appeared clean and it was cheap and the staff had been friendly so we were prepared to stay. We had to drop off Christmas presents with family, then returned. As we got ready to settle in, we observed multiple cockroaches, and old food in the sheets. This was absolutely unacceptable - being rundown in a rough part of town, we were okay with handling for the sake of price and convenience. The poor cleanliness and pest control, absolutely not. When we went to the front desk we were informed they would not do a refund after 15 minutes, however we would not have noticed what made it unacceptable within 15 minutes, so this policy seems arbitrary and extremely unhelpful. I would never stay here again, and would never recommend this to anyone, ever.

    Half of the motel is definitely long-term stays for drug users, who are often wandering around the property at all hours. The ice machine was 25 cents and was located in the building of the motel with the long-term renters. The same drug users also occupied the breakfast buffet and made it difficult for other people to get food.

Usually you have fruit options, yogurts, toast etc. Sheets were clean but pillow was stained throughout and there was dirt smudges over the door and walls.

    The entire parking lot surrounding the hotel was infested with homeless drug addicts . I had my U-Haul full of my belongings parked there and did not feel comfortable. The room itself almost burned my face off when I entered my room, which of course was never locked because the lock was broken. It looked like someone pooped on my bedspread and it wasn’t all the way washed out. I stayed for 10 minutes and then gave the key back and grunted a complaint as I walked towards my truck to drive away. I want a refund please.

    I reserved a room for me and my buddy. She noticed that he was black and went into the room solo. Unbeknownst to her I was out Getting lunch. She called into the room and told my buddy to get out. She then made up a couple lies and stating that she saw three homeless go into my room. I said no, it was the room five doors down where the staircase starts. She told me that there was one black homeless guy. She then switched our room to the opposite side where I noticed it was predominantly minorities. And the other white. Unfortunately, I have heard many, many stories from others stating the same thing.

    Im unsure why smoking rooms are significantly more expensive when the rooms are kept in the condition they're in. Tiles in the tub looked like they were falling off, there was no stopper for the tub, no batteries for the remote, the bottoms of some of the lights look like they are about to fall off. The bedside table had no knob on the drawer, and when I did get it open, the inside was stripped and filled with graffiti. And the dresser was completely unusable as the drawer had been ripped out as well as one of the doors. Was able to peek inside one of the unoccupied cheaper rooms, and it was much cleaner. Do not pay for a smoking room, because they are charging you extra to sleep in a dump.

For my first time ever experience, I was truly over all happy to see that looks don’t do it justice, be aware you’re getting what you pay for so that’s why I feel like I have to say that is was aware and to my surprise I was met with a pretty chill environment!

We didn’t stay at all and left right away. Had to book another hotel due to the unpleasant things we experience. Do not stay here and save your money.

    This older property provides basic overnight accomodations at a budget price which includes a simple breakfast. The room was stark but clean with a microwave and minifridge. A variety of fast food and other restaurants are within walking distance. The area is a bit noisy due to local traffic but not intolerable. If you're looking for a lot of amenities, this would not be your first choice. However, if you're looking for a clean, conveniently located, reasonably priced motel, this would definitely qualify.

    I specifically asked for a room with wheel chair / handicap accessible during my initial booking as both my parents are in a wheelchair and unable to walk, plus they require extra bathroom space. I was told I hadn't asked for such a request and was given a room with no handicap accessibility. I had no choice but to take what was given to us since we had no other reservation or place to go. Completely unconfortable for my folks, my wife, and me! The front desk attendant was completely unprofessional and RUDE! Plus the bathroom door was broken and had to leave it open while we used the facilities.... including no leg room to handle my folks since we need to assist them to use the bathroom.

You have to pay for both washer and dryer, quite expensive washing clothes there. At night its very noisy not a good neighborhood at all, you hear people yelling and fighting, cars pulling into the parking area right outside people getting out fighting with others in the motel rooms before spending off loudly. Make you feel unsafe to walk outside for anything.

    This pkace is one of those that makes you itch as soon as you come into contact with anything in the room. (Not literally, but it feels like youre going to see bedbugs or some other lind of vermin). DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PHOTOS!!!! It looks NOTHING like the pictures featured. Think, burnholes in the blankets, full sized mattresses on quenn sized frames (i honestly think that we slept on a box spring)!, desks with no chairs or drawers (and with graffiti on them), doors that have obviously been kicked in as well as bathroom doors that dont clos,Ae for the ssme reason. Some have microwaves, some don't, same for refrigerators, and some dont have either. There is open and obvious prostitution going on here, and the owners 'don't provide' butter for the waffles and the bisquits and vravy? They dont exist. There is also a terrible smell outside. Sostay at your own risk. I will say that its not as bad as the Airport Motel 6(literally stayed the night in my car), but im pretty sure people have died here.
