Verified Reviews of Econo Lodge Near Bakersfield Fairgrounds
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Scary!"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
The pictures do not do it justice! The lobby is closed. You meet someone at a window. The bedding in my non smoking room was not as expected. There was a gold bedspread with a cigarette hole burned into it! There were multiple cigarette burns on the floor. Not the clean white bedding pictured. I took a picture! No towels! No phone! The TV was small and on a wall beside the bed! Filthy! I could not stay there! The day after I booked it the price dropped nearly in half for the night I was staying. I checked out and was told I'd get the money back on my credit card! I'm not jugemental about people but I'd say there were drug dealers, prostitutes and gang members there. I was scared! The health department needs to pay them a visit as well as the local police department! Scary!

"Very Old"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Very old structure, broken and unsafe walkway and stairs. Room smelled like cigarette, no TV control available, shower curtains need replacement.Price was high for condition and location of motel. Homeless people on property. Points given bc it was unexpectedly quiet. Thank you for that.

Overall Score1.0/ 5
Made a reservation thru a hotel finder on line. Liked the price and paid for the room. Had a 12' rental truck I was driving to Colorado. Got to the hotel and was told they had no place for me to park it even though it would fit in a regular stall. The young man behind the glass told me there was no room for it and would not sell me the room. Looked in the parking lot as I left and there were people repairing their cars in the parking area and there were many places that I could park my vehicle without any issues. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Found another hotel on my own and had no issues with parking or service.

Overall Score1.0/ 5
This motel showed nice clean rooms on their web site. Econolodge was a dirty motel and I was very dissatisfied.
