Why Comfort Suites In Bakersfield is a Great Choice When Traveling

Comfy & Quiet Comfort Suites Bakersfield

Dear Polite Travelers,

We needed a hotel stay near highways 58 and 99 in California. Luckily, we found Comfort Suites in that exact spot for a good rate. Since it’s so near a major junction, it was surprisingly quiet and very comfortable.

Basic in appearance, this hotel offers quite a bit for the money. For one, the rooms are large and well-equipped with the typical microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. But more importantly, it was spacious, clean...and quiet.

The hotel itself was adequate with a pool, hot tub, outdoor seating area, breakfast room, and fitness center. The lobby was small but, again, adequate. The real star here was the breakfast. For one, it’s the only place I’ve visited that provided gloves for our protection while using the buffet serving utensils. Although, most did not use them or wear masks in the breakfast room. Grrr... At least we did.

Breakfast was typical with potatoes, sausage, and eggs, but especially yummy due to the full-size yogurt and better than average pastry choices.

Will We Return?

Oh yeah! That’s if we are on the road south, which just maybe later this year. If all goes well, we just may make another visit to Palm Springs in early winter. Can’t wait to share it with you, my fellow polite traveler.

Look Closer at the Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki

Why We Might Not Return: Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki My dear polite travelers, Imagine waiting three years to revisit a pleasant memory. You’d probably be thrilled to be on that journey. Right? Well, I am, and ...well, I’m lukewarm to some aspects of it, especially our room: #1537. But the Ocean is Right There! In our room, #1537, we have the ocean view and the fresh breezes associated with it. Still, due to the central, otherwise excellent location, it’s noisy—very noisy. Thus, those breezes remain outside all night. Darn. The pleasant sweet-ocean-air-in-our-room-memory I dream of often eluded us on this trip. Now, it’s just sad. The Good & the Weird Beyond the noise, it is a comfortable room—especially the shower—but there’s not enough counter space. Instead of a long counter or desk, the hotel designer thought a long built-in seat would be a clever idea?? Hint. It’s not. We can only use it to store our suitcases and bulky items. The only place to us

Kauai Vacation: Room Review

The Room Over The Power Plant Revised 4/2021 The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas offers guests beautiful rooms, which include kitchens or kitchenettes, outdoor grills, and a number of pools. Most often, it includes an excellent restaurant, poolside bar, and small store. A large grocery store is within walking distance as well. Thus, the theory is that guests will not have to leave the property once they cross the big pond to reach it. Great theory, but that’s not necessarily true when the only on-site restaurant is closed. Add to that the incredibly loud room...well, let’s just say I needed a break from the property at times. Note : Follow Hawaii and CDC guidelines when visiting. Always wear your face mask when in public. May we just see the room we should have had? After an exceptionally long journey that included a broken plane and a rushed connection—not to mention airport security—we were surprised to find that our hotel had our room ready an hour early.

Sonoma, California: DoubleTree Sonoma

Updated 4/2021 Our Stay in the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in California As over-worked small business owners, we decided to play hooky traveling through Sonoma County for a couple of days. Since we recently experience excellent service on our last stay in a DoubleTree, we booked a room at their Sonoma Wine Country property in Rohnert Park. Our Journey Through Sonoma County Our drive from our home in Davis pleasant with light traffic. We chose a slightly longer route through Sonoma so we could take in the beauty of the Glen Ellen area vineyards. The vineyards here are quite beautiful with green rolling hills as a backdrop. Arriving at the DoubleTree As we arrived, I mentioned to my husband that since this trip would focus on cheese tasting, it would be perfect if we were given a free upgrade to a room with a refrigerator. The hotel appeared fully booked, so I assumed that was impossible. Astonishingly, when we asked about an upgrade, the polite rec
