6 reviews for Four Points Hotel by Sheraton
not bad. i was in bakersfield on business =( and stayed here for a night. the rooms are large, with enough room for a king bed, desk, a couch and a lounge chair, with enough space left over to do yoga (i don't do yoga, but if i wanted to pick it up, i'd have enough room in this room to do it). plus, a new flatscreen tv. one negative was that an old bar of soap was left in the bathroom, but when i informed the hotel of that, they apologized and added points to my account. that's good customer service.
there's a restaurant on the premises called the bistro. i got breakfast here and it was ok, but expensive. about $10 for 2 eggs and a side of ham. half a grapefruilt was $4! i looked through their all day menu and shrimp cocktail was like $18 and prime rib was like $40. wtf, it's BAKERSFIELD people...and it's a FOUR POINTS SHERATON. you are not the waldorf in nyc. you can't charge prices like that.
The Good:
Decent location. Close enough to CA 58 and 99. Not in the ghettos of Bakersfield. Front desk was very nice to my 2 year old who just endured the 2 hour road trip. Nice grounds, with very cool water features. Good pool area. Nice LG LCD TV's. Free wired and wireless internet.
The Bad:
Room was not so clean. Carpets needed a major shampooing. Would not give the kids a bath in the tub. Room service is closed most of the time on the weekends.
The Fugly:
We accidentally left our toiletry bag in the room after check out. Cleaning staff says they have no idea what happened. Without being completely accusatory I find that hard to believe. Didn't lose anything too valuable. Travel charger for the Sonicare and some prescription drugs were the most expensive thing. But you don't expect cleptomaniacal staff at a Sheraton.

I stayed here during a recent work trip. The hotel is clean and in a good location - for Bakersfield. The bathroom was H-U-G-E, and the bed was fairly comfy. The (outdoor) pool looked like it would be nice in the summertime.
The downside was that I could hear every single word spoken by my neighbors. Perhaps this hotel was built prior to the invention of insulation? I dunno. I do know that the guy staying in the room on the left thinks he'll get laid tonight, and the guy on the right needs to take a giant dump.

It's true, the Four Points Sheraton has large clean rooms with thin walls. I'd only give it three stars, except for the fact that at this price, it's better than the other options in Bakerspatch and I'll stay here every time I visit for business. You think I'm here on vacation?! Plus, the bedding is nice, the pool and Jacuzzi are cool, the fitness center is halfway decent and the Bistro restaurant is really good, though pricey. Be sure to get the 10% off coupon at the front desk if you're going to eat there.

Good sized room, very clean bathroom.
Continental breakfast was lacking: Cereal, pastries, juice and coffee. Some fresh fruit would have been a nice addition.
Front desk staff was not helpful or friendly at all. Decent parking, nice grounds, limited vending machine choices, no water or treats, only soda. Loud neighbors and busy parking lot was a turn off.
Gave my husband and I two double beds, didn't tell us though, we were very surprised when we arrived at our room. She should have warned us at check in. 6'4" husband didn't appreciate that. They were comfortable, but small.
No newspaper at door. They said they don't get papers on the weekend. For the price ($44/night on priceline), I am not totally complaining, Only a three star hotel, so I wasn't expecting much.
Might stay there again if ever staying in Bakersfield in the future.
I've stayed in many hotels, and stayed in a couple in the Bakersfield area. This one happened to be right across the street from the office I needed to go to which was a plus. Lets start with the positives before I go into the negatives. They have LG LCDs, which is always great, they push 1080i and they do have a component input. For those of us that travel a lot and bring our video game systems everywhere, this is a plus. Unfortunately they cover up the rest of the inputs on the back. The bathroom is nice, not fancy. The room is quite big as is the desk. They have free wired and wireless internet through ibahn, which is always a plus. The parking is free. The only thing I really have to complain about is the fact that there seemed to be no elevators, and I stayed on the 2nd floor both times. Lugging suitcases up the stairs is quite a pain. The layout of the hotel was advantageous, as parking was right next to the buildings. Overall this was a good hotel, but I wouldn't say it's great. I would give this hotel a 3.5 if I could. Perhaps my score is influenced by the city itself, if this weren't in Bakersfield perhaps I would give it a 4 without a problem.
