Great stay at the Four Points here! With my Marriott status I got upgraded to a bigger room with a patio. Good price, with Marriott membership was $107 per night which is cheapest in town. Lady at the front was very friendly, and gave me 2 parking passes for our vehicles. Room was modern, clean, and spacious. Seems they did a major renovation and it paid off. TV screen showed my name and gave a welcome message which was cool. Wish there were more bath towels, but that’s not a huge issue. Only problem was a night there was a loud crowd partying late into the night near the pool, but seems the hotel security took care of it. Will be coming back when I visit town again

I had a beautiful room at this hotel last week and enjoyed breakfast at the Bistro. The service was great and so was the food. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. I was very comfortable and wish that I'd had time to linger, the grounds are very well kept. I was traveling through Bakersfield on a tight schedule, but would have loved to hang around a little longer to enjoy the pool. Next time!

The hotel is a little dated and can use some renovations. HOWEVER, the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the staff is AMAZING! The overnight clerk, Betty, really cared about our experience. Here's where it gets hairy, the room are adjacent with a door between them and the walls are paper thin. The couple next to us would not shut up until the desk told them to at 1:30a. I was woken up by them at 6:46 because I could here them having sex. That happened three times before they finally left at 11a. They were loud, laughing, TV up, just enjoying themselves, but I could hear all of it and only got about 4 hrs sleep as a result. I am still giving the hotel 5 stars, but it is because of the staff and how they tried to remedy the situation for us.

Was in Bakersfield for a wedding and had a fun stay at this hotel! The staff was great especially, Leighann and Yulli, two beautiful humans who rescued an abandoned kitten on the property and they both made our stay extra special. The manager was wonderful, too, I’m so sorry I didn’t get her name. We needed last minute vows printed before the wedding and she went above and beyond to help us. I’ll definitely stay here on my next Bakersfield adventure. (Oh and p.s. the room was clean and comfy and the lobby coffee was delicious, but that’s besides the point - the highlight was kitten shenanigans)

Rooms have been remodeled. They are nice. Bed was very comfortable You can get breakfast instead of the 500 bonus points if you are Bonvoy member. Breakfast was in the restaurant and was fresh cooked eggs/ bacon (or sausage) potatoes and toast...also coffee.. Much better than the usual breakfast buffet.
