Best Western Heritage Inn
Clean, spacious, and quiet—good for a one-night stay during our trip around Bakersfield. The location is convenient, and check-in and check-out were easy. Breakfast was basic but fine. The only downside was the bed—it was a bit squeaky and made some noise when moving.

This is the dirtiest property I have ever seen. The only positive about this place is that staff was kind and they had a microwave.
