Holiday Inn Express Bakersfield, an IHG Hotel

This hotel provided the best overall experience out of the ten hotels I've stayed in over the last two weeks. The building was clean throughout, and the free breakfast offered lots of high-quality options. The customer service was good, and the room was equipped with a coffee machine, microwave, and fridge. The furnishings weren't too dated, and the hotel featured a pool and a basic 24-hour gym.

Enormous rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Our daughter was very happy about the pancake making machine at breakfast!

Convenient to freeway, safe and clean, our favorite IHG to stay in when we travel through Bakersfield. Love the breakfast choices too! Must give kudos to Vanessa, because she was so thoughtful and brought a cart to us to load our bags. I am usually on a can or walker , so we sincerely appreciated Vanessa’s professionalism and kindness!!

Breakfast had more variety than expected. What really stood out though was the accessibility. Most "accessible" rooms still don't have enough space to turn around, get past the bed in the chair, open the door without hitting yourself in the face, etc. This one was laid out very well and made my trip a lot easier.
