The valet was horrible and tried to pocket $20.. He said he takes tips too. We don't need to be reminded. After he was given $20, we we're then told the valet fee would be added to our bill.

I had high expectations, as several friends told me they loved staying here. However, my room was beset with several problems, including a toilet paper holder that fell apart onto the floor; the shower knob that fell onto the floor; and a weird static sound coming from the fire alarm speaker. I had to use a white noise app to mask this disconcerting and intermittent sound. In addition, though the in-house restaurant had great Google reviews, my meal of a caesar salad with grilled shrimp had wilted lettuce, a gallon of dressing that was clearly from a can or bottle, and reheated grilled shrimp - that were partially cold. I'm not sure what the allure is here; it was an ok place to stay, but not worth the hype.

Our stay was good. The majority of the staff was friendly. We checked-in on the day their second floor restaurant opened. The service sucked. There was a gal (I wish I asked her name) who worked in the cafe. She was friendly, talkative, and she went above and beyond. The staff in the bar were good. However, on my second night I ordered food and it never came. They definitely need to iron out the kinks. Overall, it is a fun place to stay.

This hotel is a very old property recently completely renovated in a black, white, and gold art-deco style. It's kind of over the top but also original, and you can't fault it for aiming to please! Our room had a great city view and was well appointed. The shower was a dark-gray stone which seemed a bit like showering in a closet, but otherwise the bathroom was generally luxe. The front-desk staff were super-helpful and friendly, and all staff seemed to be happy to be working at the Padre and proud of its bold new identity. The only disappointments were that the rooftop restaurant/bar was closed for renovations, and the only other place to eat/drink in the hotel (Brimstone, a lobby-level sports-bar-type place) closed promptly at 9pm. There isn't much around the hotel, but downtown Bakersfield is generally not a super vibrant place. We'd stay here again and hope it succeeds in leading a return of style and energy to a city that has a really interesting history, as the hotel itself personifies.
