Residence Inn By Marriott

Everything what a great place! I was on my way home to La Jolla and I just couldn't drive a minute more so I made a reservation on my Bonvoy App sight unseen. I have stayed at 2 other places in Bakersfield and now I have my forever place---The Residence Inn on Espresso. For one thing, it is an area with coffee streets. You get off the freeway at Coffee St. Then you turn on Latte and then the hotel is on Espresso! haha Love that!From the easy parking to the kind staff and the beautiful room, you never have to go to another hotel. I still can't believe what a great experience I had. So quiet and the bed was so comfy. The breakfast in the morning was phenomenal. I didn't partake except for the coffee but people were so happy enjoying the wide assortment of breads, pastries, and hot foods. The coffee was exceptional!Everything about the stay was amazing EXCEPT that you will pay $168 pet fee. OUCH! I guess I understand it because it is such a new and clean hotel but that is very steep.Someone said the AC didn't work well I can tell you it worked TOO well! So well that I had to call at 10pm because I needed to figure out how to turn it off because it was so cold in my room and the fan is NOISY! It is right in front of the passenger side of the bed. Once again, fantastic service, Michelle was ON IT and got me understanding how to work the system in no time flat.I made a video of the entire hotel outdoors and inside so check it out on my YouTube channel. Michelle and I think her name was Janet or Jeanette were amazing receptionist. So incredible.https://youtu.be/_nOPc-Q84mQ

I've always found Marriott hotels to be reliable, clean and well maintained. This particular hotel was no exception. I had a one bedroom suite for the stay, and it was fine. I thought the furnishings were somewhat simple, but certainly ok. Breakfast is free and it's pretty much your typical hotel breakfast offerings. Again nothing special, but certainly appropriate for the stay. There is plenty of free parking. This hotel is in a quieter area well way from all the traffic and noise, which I thought was a plus.

We had such a pleasant stay here and it far surpassed our expectations! We were driving through and stayed for one night. The room is extremely spacious and clean. We also slept phenomenally as the room was quiet and peaceful.Our standout was the morning. They have complementary coffee and breakfast from 6-9am. The coffee bar was amazing! Probably one of the better coffee bars we've had at a Marriott filled with hot coffee, cold brew, different milks, and even different sweetners. The breakfast selection was also great! Seemed well beyond the typical breakfast options. For having little to no expectations, just needing somewhere to sleep, to having an excellent stay, this place was great!

New and modern upgraded building. Excellent customer service at front desk. They are very organized, resourceful, and welcoming. Honestly, I think this Residence Inn have the best breakfast bar setup compared to any other Residence Inn locations between the San Francisco Bay Area and Las Vegas if you're traveling to/from these areas. You get more than just eggs and sausage sandwiches in the morning. Food is fully stocked and very clean in up-keeping. Great management. They pay attention to details. The room I got on 5th floor near a corner was perfect. I redeemed it with rewards points. Full suite with the kitchen, good size refrigerator, dishwasher, oven/stovetop, microwave, and more. Updated kitchen with bar countertop and bar chairs. Nice! Very comfortable and spacious. Closet was spacious and so was the bathroom area and hallway going towards the bathroom. Everything was fully stocked. Livingroom sofa was extremely nice and comfortable. Make yourself at home. Everything was super clean as if I was the first guest using the appliances. Most importantly, the perfect night sleep because it was very quiet due to the location here. Bed was extremely comfortable too.Walkable and convenient to get onto busy streets. Retail stores, gas stations & restaurants are within easy distance. I do plan to be back during my next trips. I used to stay at other Marriott hotel locations in Bakersfield, which weren't always the best, so this place totally met and exceeded my expectations. The breakfast, experienced customer service, and cleanliness really sparked my attention. Looking forward to my next experiences here. Lovely hotel.

Thai place was the worse , I had a business meeting to go to on Saturday may 17 and I took my whole family, my check in was at 3:00 pm I showed up at 2:45 pm the front desk manager Monique told me that my room was going to be another 30 minutes so we waited , mimed you I have a 8 month old son. Finally she told me my room was ready by that time it was 3:40 , got my keys , waited on the elevator one of the elevator's was broke. Went to the 4th floor room 412 and the lady where still cleaning the room and they told me in Spanish " Monique did not tell us to get the room ready till like 10 minutes ago we are sorry" so by the time I got my room it was 4:00 pm. Next day went down to get complementary breakfast with the family which it was tHorrible then as we where finishing up and walking back to our room we see the biggest cockroach ever. This place is no good . Please do not stay here if you have your family with you.

On one of the hottest days of the year the air-conditioning in my room stopped working. I spent the night in 85° temperatures and climbing. The hotel was full so they couldn't transfer me. The odd thing was that every single dollar I paid to spend the night in that sauna was good, yet not every amenity in my room functioned, including the most important one. When I asked for some kind of renumeration for the night of misery I suffered in their hotel, they just laughed. I asked twice. They laughed twice. Our work group stayed at the Residence Inn when we were in Bakersfield on business, but we will do so no longer. We found the customer service and hospitality to be subpar.

Will definitely stay here again- the shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom is the best that's I've ever been provided in a hotel! And I'm a hair color girly so I appreciate a good conditioning product. Room was wonderful- my only complaint is that the AC doesn't vent into the bedroom so you have to keep the bedroom door open, and the AC would also turn off and reset at night so I have to get up 3-4x to turn it back on. Other than that, this is a fantastic place to stay.

Typical residence inn style rooms, new furniture! I love the location of this hotel in Bakersfield. Access to stores, Walmart and target, best buy, home depot etc.

I feel like I'm being generous giving them 3 stars, considering some of the conditions of this hotel. There are two Residence Inn locations in Bakersfield and this is definitely the better one, considering the two. It's remodeled, but they both still have some funky smells. I was in Bakersfield for work for 4 days. I chose this hotel since I haven't had much luck with any other hotels in this city. I stayed in a one bedroom suite and the room was large with a kitchen and seating area next to a bedroom. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be entirely clean. The kitchen area was seemingly clean but when I was putting some food in the refrigerator, the kitchen towels smelled moldy. In the bedroom, there's no air ventilating so it was extremely hot at night. The AC was working fine in the kitchen area, so I had to keep the door open in order to get any air. This wasn't the most comfortable and I was waking up all throughout the night. As many other patrons mentioned, I did not have any hot water for 2 days. On the 3rd day I had to be up really early, and that's when I actually had a hot shower. This is the second time I stayed here and it's only because there are not many options in Bakersfield and the location is central.

This hotel far exceeded our expectations. We stayed here one night as a stopover on a road trip. The hotel is very clean and spacious. Love all the shelves, drawers, and hooks in the room. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Very large bathroom area. The room was quiet, other than the loud HVAC (but pretty typical of most hotels). We stayed on the top floor. There's not a lot in the area right around the hotel, which is probably why it felt so quiet. Staff were helpful and the breakfast was good. The place felt very safe also. Overall, it was a huge difference from the other Bakersfield hotels we have stayed in. The location is a little inconvenient, as it is a few miles from the freeway, but well worth the few extra minutes. We will definitely stay here again.
