Spark by Hilton Bakersfield Central

Nice hotel, definitely a renovated property. Stay on the first floor, room was clean after inspection. I don't have a problem with noise but if your a light sleeper I'd find another place to stay, you can hear the cars driving by. No microwave in the room, only in the lobby. Parking in the front and more on the side (out of view) Gas station is right across from the front parking lot which is nice when your traveling. Overall my stay was fine.

So disappointed in this hotel. Carpets are filthy, every door to every room has paint peeling and very cheaply finished, even tho we were told it was just recently remodeled and painted. Bathroom floor is sticky and makes a sound when walking on it. Not sure I should let my pups have their food in that room. I would be embarrassed to advertise this as a Hilton Hotel. I would rate this 2-3 stars at most.

Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was perfectly situated for my needs and deserves a full 5 stars for convenience. ​Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a mixed experience with the service. A huge shoutout to Jerome at the front desk—he was fantastic, professional, and very welcoming. However, the morning staff was a bit disappointing. Despite a 12:00 PM checkout, housekeeping was knocking on my door while I was still inside, which felt quite intrusive and rushed. ​Rooms: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The rooms are clean and modern, but be aware that they are very "minimalist." I was disappointed to find no microwave and no water heating jug/kettle in the room. If you’re looking to heat up a quick snack or make a cup of tea in private, you’ll be out of luck.

This hotel was good.  Not great, but quite adequate for our overnight stay.  It was clean.  The bed was comfortable.  The breakfast was not great but ok.  I’d stay here again.

I stayed here the night of 1/17/26 but almost didn't take the chance. I was skeptical because of the reviews, but I took a chance since a lot of the bad reviews seemed hyperbolic and almost comical - gotta say, I'm SO glad I did! The price advertised online was 118 and ended up costing us like 147 somehow, but the room was super clean, the guy at the front desk was nice and didn't charge for our pet after I asked about the price discrepancy so it worked out. Breakfast was just okay, didn't leave us wanting, but also didn't really impress. It kinda sucked to get a moving truck into the parking lot and had no dedicated parking for something larger than an SUV. Had to cross 2 lanes of traffic and pull through a gas station parking lot to get situated and the window of our room looked rig
