We enjoyed our extended stay. Dorothy was helpful, courteous and welcoming as our stay was longer than anticipated due to a vehicle repair.
The rooms were clean and the breakfasts were great. Delia was gracious and cheery as she checked the food offerings for the breakfast buffet.
I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express/Airport in Bakersfield, CA
We enjoyed the Riverwalk and shopping outlets. Champ’s nearby for barbecue and Mohya Cafe for tea and sweets.
