Best Western Plus Hill House

Great location and price if visiting the Downtown Bakersfield area for events at the Convention Center or Rabobank Arena. It is is walking distances to both locations. You can tell it is an older hotel but still very clean, and comfortable. Staff was ver friendly, and professional. Restaurant and bar on site. Food was great, beer was cold and not badly priced. I would stay here again. less

We stayed one night to see a concert at the Rabobank arena, which is a 3 minute walk. I will deffinetly stay here again if we're in the area. Great area with lots of food options and just overall a great hotel experience. less

.The hotel was very clean. Our room was ready for us on arrival and like the rest of the Hotel spotless We enjoyed the restaurant on site good food and excellent service. I would have given the Hotel top marks but unfortunately the pool was dirty. A pity really after a 5 hour drive and a temperature of 80 degrees I was looking forward to a swim less

Incredible value for money! We booked this on a Friday night with no notice and got an amazing price for this wonderful hotel. We turned up 15 minutes after booking online and checked in straight away with no issues. The service was very good - the staff were so friendly and polite. Our room was awesome and everything you’d expect from a best western... spotlessly clean, spacious, all equipment / beds new and fresh. The location is brilliant as it’s in the nicer area of Bakersfield. We were particularly happy with the parking lot as it was very secure and the others we had seen looked dodgy, so it’s nice to feel comfortable with leaving our car in a safe place. Solid 4/5 - the only negative comment would be that the server at breakfast was extremely rude and I was just shocked.. demanded my order and then as I began to speak she interrupted me and said ‘just give me a number’... she then shouted ‘listen to me’ when she asked how I wanted my breakfast. She then brought out fruit instead of potatoes with my meal and I asked why, she said they’d ran out of potatoes... only problem is that I’m allergic to fruit and would have told her this if she had taken my order in the first place. BESIDE ALL OF THIS - the food was good and free so I didn’t let it ruin my stay. Side note (We originally booked the Econo lodge as it was slightly cheaper... it was so disgusting and scary that we immediately cancelled and demanded a refund) - avoid this like the plague :) less

This hotel is quirky and obviously remodeled, but also refreshing. With the large windows and higher than usual ceilings, it feels more open than most hotels. If it had tile floors instead of carpet, it would feel Mediterranean. Upon opening the room door, we were pretty much in the sink area by the restroom. There was a goofy wall behind the mirror that stopped a couple of inches short of the ceiling. Once past the sink area, the room was a nice size, clean, and had a slightly vaulted ceiling. The beds were comfortable, and the WiFi was strong. The bathroom was normal, although there were liquid soap dispensers in the shower rather than soap samples. The room had an old style air conditioner by the window, and the area we were in was quiet. My mom used the breakfast voucher and was pleasantly suprised to find that it paid for food from the restaurant, instead of the usual continental breakfast. The location is convenient. It is easy to walk to restaurants and other businesses from the hotel. A little creek runs behind the hotel, and a walking trail runs beside it. I would definitely stay in this hotel again. The cost, location, and general pleasantness of it make it a good deal. If I could change one thing, I’d prefer hard floors (because old carpet never seems quite clean enough). less
