Bakersfield Marriott at the Convention Center

The hotel is conveniently located next to the Dignity Health Center, just a quick three minute walk away, which made it an excellent choice for attending events. The nine story property has an old-school lounge that offers full dinner and breakfast options, an honor bar, cold drinks, and even a computer for guest use. Check-in was fast and efficient, although the front desk experience was slightly mixed with the young female member came across as a bit curt. The rooms were adequate for a short stay, though the furniture felt dated and could use an upgrade. Parking is available for $10, with a small lot in front and a much larger lot in the back that easily accommodated the 8 Jouney tour buses. After the concert, I appreciated that hotel staff checked room keys at the entrance, which helped maintain security and keep non-guests out. One unexpected highlight was briefly seeing Arnel Pineda outside the back of the hotel with his family. He initially seemed a bit reserved but was polite, calm, and very attentive.
