A Standard Roadside-Motel Type Place
Just stayed one night at the Four Points in Bakersfield and it was just okay. The property is an old style motel and is reminiscent of a regular roadside motel. The hotel is located right in the middle of a business park and away from the interstate (where most of the hotels and motels in Bakersfield are located). There is plenty of free, uncovered parking.
The hotel is fine, with exterior 2 story buildings making up the complex. Some rooms have exterior open patios off the back. The grounds are well-kept and the landscaping is mature.
The rooms have obviously been renovated, as the tell-tale popcorn ceilings and ancient smoke detectors will tell you. The furniture, with the exception of the bed, was really old and worn. The carpet was new, as was the bedding, so that was nice.
The room felt sort of clean - maybe a 3 out of 5. I didn't get the "dirty heebie jeebies," but it didn't feel or look super spotless, either. The bathroom is stark white, and the shower head was great - awesome water pressure!
The bed was really comfortable, and the a/c unit worked great. The flat screen t.v. was nice, as was the ergonomic work chair. The hotel also provides free internet access in all guest rooms, which is a real savings if you travel for business.
There are several fast food restaurants close-by, and the property was really quiet since it is away from the interstate. I think this is an okay place to stay if you pay less than $50 a night.
