Stay in the compound. Downtown Bakersfield can be a bit sketchy, hotel has nice and accommodating staff. Hotel and rooms clean and affordable. Only criticism is the showers flood the bathrooms after use. BUT they’re great rain showers

The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The rainfall showerhead was a nice upgrade after a day of traveling. The overall hotel was clean but very warm. We were also charged a $17 early check in fee for being 30 minutes early.

Beautiful grounds with a few challenges
There was a bit of a wait to check in.The lobby and my room were initially quite warm. When my room finally cooled off during the night,there was no cover available other than a sheet.

Friendly staff
The property isn't bad, nice size outdoor pool in the middle for the complex with a nice come of din and shade. It's an older building that got a makeover (still getting fixed up). My first room, I had to move because the AC wasn't working and moved me right away.
The room was clean, the bed was reasonably comfortable. Fine for an overnight business trip and the price was fair. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The cable was out so there was no TV, and I missed the Major League Baseball game, the AC did work in my first room, and I had to move so it wasn't the best overnight stay.

Don’t do it! Spend the extra $$$$
All the doors were propped open by garbage cans. Tubs were removed from rooms and left outside the entrances. Stains on walls, whole place smells like stale cigarettes. Halls are worn down with old wall paper and torn carpet. Doors were warped. Tile in bathroom had a lot of grout and stains. Crowd was not very desirable. Best thing in this place was the staff. Lady at the front desk was very pleasant.

Only one problem, but a big one: they say their beds are queens, but they are doubles. We booked a room with 3 beds for 2 adults and 3 kids, and arrived to discover we only had three twins. We had to book a second room and pay twice as much. They claimed the other rooms were queens, too, but they were not.

Stinky room and erroneous charges on top
The room had a horrible smell, like mice and mold. Then I was charged an erroneous $95.64 cancellation charge over and above my one night stay when I checked out. The hotel manager (Shelly) said she would fix it. It still has not been fixed and the hotel will not return my calls. I tried to get it corrected thru hotels.com and they told me it was my problem and to contact hotel. I have been a loyal hotels.com user for over 17 years, but when you have a problem they just don’t care about their clients. I made calls several times and was given the same run around each time from hotels.com staff. Don’t ever stay at Hiltop in Bakersfield - they rip you off by placing erroneous charges on your bill and the rooms stink! And hotels.com will not help when this happens.
