This hotel is a very old property recently completely renovated in a black, white, and gold art-deco style. It's kind of over the top but also original, and you can't fault it for aiming to please! Our room had a great city view and was well appointed. The shower was a dark-gray stone which seemed a bit like showering in a closet, but otherwise the bathroom was generally luxe. The front-desk staff were super-helpful and friendly, and all staff seemed to be happy to be working at the Padre and proud of its bold new identity. The only disappointments were that the rooftop restaurant/bar was closed for renovations, and the only other place to eat/drink in the hotel (Brimstone, a lobby-level sports-bar-type place) closed promptly at 9pm. There isn't much around the hotel, but downtown Bakersfield is generally not a super vibrant place. We'd stay here again and hope it succeeds in leading a return of style and energy to a city that has a really interesting history, as the hotel itself personifies.

Staff and room more wonderful. Nice lounge area in the lobby. For a pet friendly hotel it was awful because there's no place for your pet to relieve themself on-site or nearby. No on-site parking.

The hotel was definitely quaint but the rooms were small. That had one restaurant The other restaurant was closed and obviously no nightclub. The menu prices was off. I was overcharged for a menu item and it wasn’t that great. The service was horrible, let’s just say my husband did not get but one drink our entire meal and we were there for a while. they closed 9 o’clock on a Sunday, the best part of our trip was the blond valet guy he was super nice and helpful.
