Okay for Bakersfield maybe
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/11/06
As my wife put it, there won't ever be a reason to come back. This is our 6th Best Western stay on this trip - only one other room came this close to being as old and not kept up.
Unannounced construction at 8:00 AM right outside our door as, apparently, the staff was working on renovating a stairway: hammer drill and pounding. The pool area and gardens are a nice attempt, but the pool needs some work (grout, cleaning and patching) and could have used more chlorine. But it was large and warm. It looks like maybe BW is beginning to make some renovations and/or patches.
Staff - only run in is that my wife went to the lobby for pool towels - the lady told her that they were at the pool and if they weren't, she should call the staff on the phone at the pool. My wife was frustrated because the towels WERE NOT there and when she tried the phone at the pool, it was dead.
Wireless internet works - but didn't when we first got here. Most of the time the signal from our room is weak: 1/3 of what it could be.
Ready to leave Bakersfield now.
