Continental breakfast getting better than before.

Have stayed this location multi times, last couple years. Getting better with thier continental breakfast (offered more options this time, than last time) When first started staying here, it was full on breakfast, hotel changed hands and they offered virtually nothing...this time more options to eat, thank you. Rooms clean, friendly staff.

Sleepless in Bakersfield

Loud, you could hear the freeway very clearly, into a second day there was a group of motorcyclists they were extremely loud, loud music playing in the morning and coming back to the hotel at 1am blasting music . The rooms were no different, you could hear people talking in the other rooms, overall extremely loud and uncomfortably.
