Top Kern River Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Hill House

8/10 Good

"Room was nice and clean but dated. Staff was helpful and gave privacy but still gave extra towels. The construction and fact that the gate to the lot is locked from 10p-8a is a little annoying so you can get in after hours using your hotel key but getting out; you need the front desk to open it for you."

WoodSpring Suites Bakersfield East

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

The Padre Hotel

"Classy and historic!"
