The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Bakersfield By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Bakersfield's Concert Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express Bakersfield is just a 12-minute drive from downtown, placing you close to Bakersfield’s top music venues without the downtown bustle. With cozy, carpeted rooms, thoughtful amenities like microwaves and mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi throughout, it’s a no-fuss stay with everything you need.
Whether you're in town for a weekend show or a one-night gig, this hotel offers comfort and value just a short ride from the heart of Bakersfield’s entertainment district.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key—and this hotel delivers with a quick drive to downtown venues, meaning you can be back in your room before the encore fades. Guests love the quiet neighborhood for post-concert wind-downs, and the free on-site parking makes rideshares and road trips simple. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the friendly staff is often flexible for late risers. Plus, with free Wi-Fi and a relaxing outdoor pool and jacuzzi, it's easy to decompress after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for an affordable home base
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist
- Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
- Fans needing quiet after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

The included daily breakfast buffet is a hit for late risers, featuring omelets, sausage, biscuits, and fresh Arabica bean coffee. While there isn’t an on-site restaurant open late, the hotel is close to plenty of walkable dining spots and fast eats. Rooms come equipped with a microwave and fridge—ideal for midnight snacks or leftovers.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, its easy access to downtown means you're minutes from Bakersfield’s bar scene and music lounges. After a night out, it’s a short drive back to a quiet, comfortable room.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean and spacious rooms, the helpful staff, and the reliable free Wi-Fi. Many highlight the convenience of the location—far enough from the noise, but close enough for quick trips to shows and downtown dining. The included breakfast gets consistent praise, especially from guests recovering from a late night.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is slightly outside the downtown core, so a car or ride-share is a must for concert nights. Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated in places, but most agree it's clean, comfortable, and great value for the price.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a quiet, well-priced stay with easy access to Bakersfield’s music venues, Holiday Inn Express Bakersfield hits all the right notes.

Besides the things mentioned it...

Liked: The location was ideal for us as it was close to the gathering we were attending. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean the breakfast was great and the dining area was extremely clean. Great coffee was a plus.
Disliked: Areas of opportunity are as follows: issues with the wi fi tv had pixel issues and the next day the tv only had sound. Also the bathroom had an empty body-wash was which we discovered only after we got in the shower

Liked: Room was very nice and the TV was big.
Disliked: Our first night we had to switch to another room because the sink in the bathroom was clogged up and the custodian could not unplug it.Then the room we switched to had a toilet that did not flush. We had to use the bathroom downstairs. That was a little annoying.

Liked: I was traveling with my father and my four kids. I booked a single bedroom and a bedroom with two queens. We ended up with two, two queen rooms which was awesome because my son and my father could share around which means more happy kids for me
