Best Western Heritage Inn

My husband and I traveled with our two cats, moving 1300 miles. BW Heritage Inn was our first overnight stop and one of the few motels I could find in Bakersfield that accepts cats. I called the motel a couple of times to ask about the rooms and their suitability for feline guests (who tend to crawl under beds and behind furniture when scared). She answered my questions kindly and patiently, which I really appreciated. The motel is located right off of I-5, so it was a very convenient stop after an extremely long drive. The room was very clean and fresh, with basic furnishings, comfortable beds, and nice linens. This is a good choice for travelers wanting an overnight stop along I-5. less

Just needed a place off the freeway to stay one night while traveling from Northern CA to Southern CA. This is the perfect place. The staff were as friendly and as helpful as a staff at any luxury hotel (maybe even more so!). The first time we stayed here, they had a complimentary breakfast buffet, that was excellent. That alone was worth the (very reasonable) price of one night! less

We appreciated the dedication the hotel's managers are making to safety in this trying time. It was most comforting to know our room was not only clean, but we didn't have to disinfect it! Check-in and check-out were both "safe" which was greatly appreciated. Note that you may have to get creative to get around the lineup of trucks driving past the hotel. We apprised the situation, drove through a break which a trucker gave us, and it wasn't much of a problem. Food from the taco truck was tasty and the recommendation to it was appreciated. less

Hardwood/vinyl floors. YUCK. Staff (owner) has sorry excuse for not serving breakfast, which is part of the price. No discount for NOT serving breakfast. All 5 other BWs we stayed at during the same week (we are truckers) at least provided “go bag breakfast”. These guys didn’t even try!! Also, if you don’t want noise, this is smack dab next to a truck stop. Just saying. Even tho I rated it poor location (the trucks didn’t bother us) I did it for all you other folks. less

We have spent the past 3 weeks travelling as we cannot get into out home until April 18 and we planned to visit the National Parks in Oregon and California BUT they were all closed so our home was hotels for 3 weeks. We were heading to Lake Isabella to visit a friend and decided to stop her for a couple nights since BW is pet friendly. When checking in the front desk person was extremely nice and helpful with food suggestions. The room was very clean and despite a truck stop across from the hotel we really did not notice the trucks and for some reason they were lined up to get diesel at the truck stop. The pet area was neat and clean. less
