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.

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa Review

Art, Excellent Service & Penguins...Oh My My Dear Polite Travelers, Maui has experienced some horrific natural disasters, including a devastating fire and, more recently, torrential rain that caused severe flooding. However, none of that was visible during my last visit. The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort is a huge, richly landscaped, multi-building beauty. It includes a 40-acre oceanfront lagoon and a waterslide into a children’s splashpad. However, I saw many more adults enjoying the splashpad than children. It did look inviting. Directly adjacent to the lobby is a penguin den. Guests are invited to watch a daily penguin presentation. I enjoyed watching them play. They are quite adorable. Dining & Shopping In the main building, you’ll find multiple shops, including a gallery filled with unique and quite excellent art. My favorite shop was actually Honolulu Coffee . As a family-owned,...

A Few Days in Palm Springs

Palm Springs Activities Hello, my Polite Travelers, As an older couple, we often just want to relax and enjoy our favorite places at a leisurely pace. This was the case during our recent revisit to Palm Springs. For the most part, we explored downtown, stopping for coffee and chatting with the locals. Additionally, we embarked on a few other excellent adventures. Agua Caliente Cultural Museum As a Smithsonian Affiliate, I found this museum to be outstanding. This museum is a mixture of immersive video, sound, and visuals (including lifelike exhibits) to tell the story of America’s rich—and many times heart-wrenching—indigenous story. The permanent gallery begins with the 360-degree immersive video of the Agua Caliente “Creation & Migration” story. The quality of their digital animation and sound is impressive—there’s even a screen on the floor. I found their creation story to be fascinating. Don’t Miss! For the Love of Art! Don’t Miss The Palm Springs Art M...

Did that really happen at this Hampton Inn?

Hampton Inn & Suites Palm Desert, CA—Hotel & Room #330 Review Hello, my Polite Travelers. We are now in sunny Palm Desert, and it is a grand place. Everything looks clean and new. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the Hampton Inn. It pains me to say it, but this hotel needs some love…and perhaps a good handyman. Our room is an accessible room for hubby. On first glance, it’s adequate, with space between furniture and grab bars in the bathroom. That’s only the first glance. Blink once more, and there are a few issues for both the mobile and mobility-challenged . First, although the bathroom features plenty of grab bars, the toilet is too low, and accessible toilets require taller seats. The shampoo bar is too high, and there’s no pull-down seat in the tub. Those in wheelchairs would require a different room, and most mobility-challenged people can’t reach up to access the shampoo bar. ...
