Great property. Downtown at night fun and festive times. AM lots of homeless appear

Nice place

We absolutely LOVE this hotel! We travel often to and from our home in the Sacramento area to our extended family in Southern California, and this is ALWAYS our go-to stop-over location!

I stay here often for business and basically hybernate at the hotel. I usually eat breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and the food just isn't quite as good as it used to be. They were out of a lot of items on the menu as well. The room and service are excellent. If it weren't for the food I would have give 5 stars

Walked to an excellent dinner no issues, nice area.

Our stay here was wonderful. The customer service was really great whether it was at the front desk or the bar, we were taken care of. There was a bottle of champagne in the room on ice and we also received a free drink from the bar too. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The water was nice and hot and the soaps were really nice. The location was great for walking to local bars and venues. Would definitely stay here again.

friendly staff and centrally located. limited space for valet

Great staff all round. The valet gentlemen were exceptionally. Kind, friendly and helpful.

Everything was awesome. The staff was awesome. The restaurant in the hotel was great as well. I don't really have anything else to say that's negative. Everything was a positive experience for my friend and I that stayed there.

There wasn’t much to do around the hotel but we are at the bar/restaurant and enjoyed a relaxing evening

Very nice hotel

Great shower, bright room, weak Wi-Fi on 7th floor. Not much around it restaurant wise; but in Hotel options were good; especially Farmacy

Everything was awesome. Great staff friendly atmosphere.

Breakfast at the Farmacy was awful. Limited selections and uncomfortable.

Best hotel we have stay at! The restaurant food and drinks at the bar were amazing! Not to mention the most comfortable beds ever! Will be stayin here again!

I'm a Bakersfield native and was living there when the Padre was originally refurbished and open as a luxury boutique hotel, so when returning to town to visit family, I was looking forward to staying there. The staff was very friendly, but that's where the positives end. Unfortunately, the hotel is a bit run down and needs another refurbish. The amenities are lacking, or inconsistent. We stayed for 3 days and simple things like bathroom soap, coffee cups, and tissue were never replaced. The closet had no hangers. The internet never worked. Every item on the room service menu was listed as "out of stock", and the cafe closed at 11 AM so there was no on-site food option unless you wanted sit in the bar/restaurant. And to top it all off, the room phone didn't work, so I couldn't even call the front desk for help. Each time I discovered an issue, I had to go downstairs. I know some of these things may seem small, but when you're paying $640 for a 3 night stay, it's frustrating when the basics are lacking. What's not basic, however, is sleep, and the Padre is not a good hotel for sleeping. It's very noisy! Between the 2 onsite bars, and the club across the street, it's impossible to sleep before 1 AM. And the old building has loud plumbing and HVAC, so you still wake up all night. I hate writing bad reviews, especially about a iconic old hotel in my home town, but I was really disappointed and will definitely take my money elsewhere the next time I'm visiting.

Can be a little loud if the rooftop bar is open. But have a few drinks and pass out

The Padre Hotel is the best in town. Luxury, clean, I love it and I recommend it!

Excellent service all around! Restaurants could do with a bit of an upgrade.

Although historically interesting, the hotel needs to up its service and maintenance games. When we arrived, the valet arranged to park our car ($15/day) and brought out a luggage cart. We were surprised to learn that he had no intention of handling our luggage. Instead, my 73-year-old husband had to retrieve the heavy luggage from the trunk of the car and onto the cart. The cart was old and hard to navigate, barely fit into the elevator, and was hard to move over the (soiled) hall rugs, in/out of the small elevator, and through the door of our room. Same situation at departure. There was a slight musty bathroom odor and a dog odor in the room - is the hotel pet friendly? The windows would not open; the turn handles had been removed. Though slightly hard, the bed was comfortable, though the linens were a bit tired. The toilet made a loud knocking noise when flushed. We did not fry the lobby bar or restaurant, though appreciated the free drink order.

I believe her name was America but the woman who helped had some of the best customer service ever. The room was amazing, the bar looked inviting. I loved it there. Definitely staying there again if I’m in Bakersfield

Highly recommend ♥️

Very nice hotel! Lovely to stay in something other than a cookie cutter chain. Well designed; nicely renovated old hotel.

It’s a lovely unique property centrally located. Rooms are clean and quiet. Bed is super comfy. The staff is kind and accommodating and really seem to take pleasure in helping their guests. Have stayed there 3 times and it’s become my go to hotel when I visit home.

Nice boutique hotel

This was a stop on our travels that became one of our favorite parts of the trip! The staff was friendly and engaging, food was delicious. and vibe both in the downstairs bar and on the 2nd floor with music was amazing.

This is a very nice hotel and according to the locals it has a lot of history. Services is great and the bar and dinning area is very nice.

Room was warm

Great room and service, good bars, many spots within walking distance.

Sadly, I must report that the dining menu changed for much the worse since last visit. Degraded to barely adequate bar menu throughout.

Beautiful and renovated hotel!!!

Rooms had a very nice design, comfortable & restaurant in house has excellent food. Staff was great, Valet fantastic! Overall everyone very welcoming, nice to enjoy that friendly face after a long day of travels. (Unlike some chain hotels)
