“The Good, the bad, and the almost ugly...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2012

Where should I begin...with the positive? 1. The beds at the Padre Hotel are some of the most comfortable that I've ever slept in. 2. When we phoned on our way to Bakersfield to ask for an early check in, the staff was very accommodating and made it happen. 3. The corner pocket room that we were given was very... More

Spent just one night here in April on a drive from San Francisco to Las Vegas. Bakersfield was a convenient stopover but we did not have high expectations of accommodation options as it is not really a tourist destination. Found the Padre on Venere and were very pleasantly surprised. The stylish and fun fit out would look right at home... More

Quiet, restored hotel. Shower fell apart as soon as water was turned on. Shower is open to the room with only a curtain for privacy. Not cool. More

A tip of the hat to the folks who rescued this iconic hotel!!! And how sleek and elegant! The place is great, staff were totally helpful and my only regret is I didn't play pool on the fabulous red felt table! The rooms are comfortable--the showers exotic! And the place is worth the trip. More
