Hyatt Place Bakersfield and Room #312
Hello, my Polite Travelers.
Well, we’re on the road traveling
from Davis, CA to Palm Desert. Midway,
we’re staying at the Hyatt Place Bakersfield.
It’s not far from CA 99 and very near highway #58, which is exactly the
road we need to jump onto tomorrow morning.
It’s also directly across the street from a shopping center with
restaurants and…drumroll…Trader
Joe’s.
The room is spacious and
accessible. The bathroom features
numerous grab bars, and the space between furniture is ample. This room has a bathtub, so those requiring
a walk-in shower should request a different room. The tub also didn’t have a shower wand or
pull-down seat. Many with mobility
issues require these. The shampoo and
conditioner were ‘fairly’ low enough, but could have been lower.

For those of us who are mobile,
the bathroom and room are adequate.
The amenities are sparse, which
tends to be the going trend. It is
unfortunate since most travelers want a tad more than the basics. Shampoo,
conditioner, and soap were available. Sigh,
no lotion. When asked, I did receive a small tube—plenty
for my stay.
The room was equipped with a
television, refrigerator, coffee maker with three coffee pods, and two tea
bags. Yep, it is sparse.
The Three-Star Hotel
Hyatt Place hotels feature an
in-house bar and restaurant. This one is no different. The striking difference is variety. Only three white wines were available, but no
Chardonnays, and none of the wines were on their menu. My hubby’s red was passable.
The food is slightly above
fast-food quality. I had a burger and
fries. I mean, how could that be messed
up? Right? Well, it can.
The meat was overcooked and dry; if it was meat. The fries were passable and were most likely packaged
from the frozen aisle.
Other hotel amenities include a pool, business services, and
a fitness center. All were standard.
The employees were the only saving grace. They were all lovely people.
Will We Return?
If in the area, we will.
But we will bring our own food
and beverages.
