Bakersfield Marriott at the Convention Center

We stayed in Bakersfield after visiting Sequoia National Park. Arrived at hotel quite late at night but thankfully the check in was fast. The bed and pillows are comfortable. We stayed on level 2 and there was a guest laundry room which has 2 washers and 2 dryers (we used only the dryer which cost USD1.50 and ran for 45 minutes each cycle) but our clothes (only a few pieces) were still feeling half dry even with the high heat cycle, but that’s not bad as they dried overnight inside the room. It’s good that we are able to control the room temperature and fan speed. Free parking is also a good thing for the hotel guest. The next day we checked out to head for Las Vegas.

I have never met a more caring hotel staff at any hotel I’ve ever stayed. My wallet fell out of my back pocket and I didn’t discover it until after I had gotten to my room. I called the front desk and she advised that it had not been turned in but let me know that she would check the area and call me back. She promptly called me back but wasn’t able to locate it. Most of the time these situations end right there but not with her. She checked video and with the housekeeping staff to see if she could help me figure this out (something that is clearly my fault). She even offered to check the hallway of the floor I was on to see if she could find it. With all the investigative work she did, I was able to retrace my steps and realize my backpack was the culprit and I located my wallet. It was d

I've stayed here twice now, and my experience is this is a good, solid property. Everyone I encountered was friendly and inviting; as usual with Marriott, the staff are the stars here! The hotel is getting up there in age, and while you can tell the rooms have been renovated, they still show some wear. Not bad by any means, and they are clean, comfortable, and modern. I like how they use built-in heating/air instead of the noisy under-window units. My recent stay was on the top floor and included the M Club lounge, which was really very nice! In the evening they served some salads, charcuterie, and flatbreads, and morning had a good hot breakfast bar. The attendants (as usual) were very nice and welcoming! My first stay here I used the bar and coffee shop, too, great experiences as well.

I want to give a big thank you to Evangelina at the Bakersfield Marriott. I walked in with a heavy dilemma, and she immediately stepped in with calm, collected professionalism. She was cool under pressure, went straight to the general manager, and handled the situation quickly and effectively. Evangelina truly went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I needed. Exceptional service and genuine care — she turned a stressful moment into a great experience!

For a decent safe hotel with friendly staff and services in downtown Bakersfield, the Bakersfield Marriott at the Convention Center meets your needs. I was very happy with my stay. Many government buildings are a short walk away including the Kern County Superior Court. The hotel has a spacious lounge area that also serves as a coffee and the like in the morning. There was not an extra charge for parking in an outdoors lot behind the hotel. The staff members I interacted with, including Evangelina at the front desk, were helpful and made appropriate suggestions. While the hotel is situated in the heart of downtown Bakersfield, and is next to the convention center, the area seems abandoned at night with no restaurants or coffee houses within walking distance, meaning that the restaurant
