It's amazing the things people complain about. Cookies?? Really?? One idiot actually posted that would be a reason for not staying at this hotel!! A lot of other stupid, petty complaints, someone complained about the USB chargers in the wall not working. Who travels without USB cables for your devices?? People are amazing. ||Anyway this is my go to hotel in Bakersfield, I was there last weekend, I was driving from the LA area, bad weather forced me to leave much earlier than I had planned, wanted to beat the storm. Arrived in Bakersfield at about 9 am just as it began raining, called the hotel to see if by chance I could check in early. I knew it was a long shot on a Sunday morning. ||Of course I was told that check out wasn't until 12 and the room was still occupied. Oh well, I guess I was going to find a restaurant to have a long, extended breakfast or brunch. 10 minutes later I contacted the hotel again and asked if they could expedite the cleaning of my room and suggestions for a nice restaurant. Albert responded, gave me a suggestion but then told me that my room had been cleaned and I could check in now!! It was 9:30 am!! I'll take that over a cookie!!||I was a bit concerned that they may have rushed the cleaning of my room but when I arrived, it was immaculate. My room was huge, I highly suggest the junior suite, it's about 800 sq ft, full dining room table with 6 chairs and a comfy sofa. Bathroom is also huge. Love this hotel||There is one issue I had while staying there, this is the third time I've dined at the restaurant, breakfast is fine, actually very good but the two times I had dinner there were both horrible. I had the shrimp pasta dish, it was below average. During my last visit, against my better judgement, I decided to try it again since I was tired and didn't feel like going out. Ordered the steak, it was top 10 worst steaks I've ever had. Just awful, I was barely able to finish it. I've had much better steaks at Denny's.|However, bad dining and no cookies are not reasons for me to not return to this wonderful hotel. There is a bakery across the street (I'm sure they have cookies) and dozens of dining options within 10 minutes of the hotel
