Never stayed in a hotel that had such horrible traffic noise. Sounded like a drag strip most of the night. I had requested a room away from the highway but got one closest to Colony Street and struggled to get any sleep. Their wifi wasnt working either so had to use my phones hotspot.

I ended up staying in town another night, and booked this Vagabond again. This time the same excellent clerk had me checked in with key in under 90 seconds, and put me in an even better room. This motel will be my go to for Bakersfield.

Dirty, burnt torn bed sheets, dirty floor, I asked for a non smoking room and it stunk like smoke and they said it WAS non smoking. All she said was sorry. The whole floor had outside all had ashes and cigarettes buds. So obviously I was NOT in the non smoking area. No toilet paper. TV had a lot of pop-ups.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Although I reserved a non smoking room the room smelled like a thousand cigarettes. They would not transfer me to a different room. The room was rundown, dirty, cockroaches on the bathroom’s walls. The bed was also dirty and the bedding was old and full of holes. The worst though was the people next door. Loud, screaming, people coming in and out buying stuff (i could actually hear the transactions happening). At some point a fight broke out and it was 2 hours of screaming and cursing. It didn’t stop until I left at 6am, tired and sleepy. If I knew I would have slept in my car. It was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I would strongly advise to go anywhere else.
