Hyatt Place Bakersfield
"I stayed at the Hyatt Place Bakersfield for 3 nights for a business trip and they had really competitive rates for my company. Staff was very friendly and helpful, although at times a bit short staffed. This hotel is modern and clean. Good for no frills business travels. There was a business center and a gym on the first floor. My 1 King size bed room had a comfortable bed with a sofa-lounge area. The desk area was right in front of the TV and not too comfortable to sit at so I mostly sat on the sofa or in bed with my laptop. The TV did not have cable, but basic TV. You could cast your shows from your device over but I didn't want to drain the battery from my cell phone when there were not convenient outlets by the bed. There was a refrigerator and a coffee maker. The bathroom had shampoo, conditioner and body wash. It had handrails for safety. The temperature was comfortable and cozy during my stay. However the walls are thin as I could hear the noisy neighbors and the doors closing nearby. The biggest downside of the experience is the food. Free breakfast daily but the food was so awful. Even the most basic thing like eggs was drieddddd and crusty. All the salsa in the world couldn't save it. I ate breakfast here for three days cause I wanted to give it a chance in case someone made a bad batch of scrambled eggs... but no that's how it is. The waffle was stale. The biscuit was dry. The potatoes were okayyyyyyy-ish. I try to survive on the yogurt with granola and fruit. No room service or full on restaurant here. They have a bar that is fairly neglected and slow, and barely any items on that menu. The items they have are more like appetizers. On one lazy night I got wings and it took foreverrrrr. I was better off walking elsewhere for dinner. Lesson learned. Location is convenient to get to the freeway and to where I need to go for work. Everything is so convenient, other than the food issue."
