This place offers excellent housekeeping. The Rosedale Inn recommended me to come here, and I'm glad I did. Some family looks for pools, while others look for who is there. So that means that the questions pertaining to how many family members go there, are a result of family wanting each other. Sometimes you may not get the same (opinion) from someone else about pools though. It appears that size really does matter for pools, at the very, very least.
Great prices and accommodating to.most situations. I feel safe here and it's pretty quiet most of the time. At night you will hear sirens from emergency vehicles multiple times throughout.
We have been here for a month and I have no complaints. The people that run it are very nice and accommodating, they had Thanksgiving dinner for us, now I ask you who does that and the answer is no one. Thank you for caring and thank you for the wonderful dinner and your thoughtfulness.
Love this place it's a good motel it's a little older but it's still one of my favorite in Bakersfield
