The Spotlight on La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Bakersfield South

Comfort and Convenience Steps from the Stage

Modern, budget-friendly, and ideally located, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bakersfield South is a smart stay for travelers heading to a show. Just a 5-minute walk from Buck Owens Crystal Palace, this laid-back hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi, and an outdoor pool and hot tub to recharge after a night out.
With pet-friendly policies and practical perks like free breakfast and a guest laundromat, it's a solid pick for music fans looking for value without giving up on comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just steps from one of Bakersfield’s top venues means you can skip the rideshare drama and stroll to your show. The hotel’s quiet residential setting makes it easy to relax after the encore, and the outdoor hot tub is a welcome treat for tired dancing feet. While the hotel doesn’t offer late check-out by default, the 11:00 am departure gives you enough time to ease into the day after a late night.

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, walkable launch pad for a fun night out
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see act nearby
  • Couples making a low-key weekend trip of their concert plans
  • Fans wanting peace and quiet after the show
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want great value and free breakfast

Food and Drink Options

  • Free continental breakfast served daily — perfect for a post-concert refuel
  • No on-site restaurant, but plenty of dining options within walking distance
  • Vending machines and convenience stores nearby for late-night snacks

Nightlife Options

  • Steps from Buck Owens Crystal Palace — a venue known for live music and food
  • Short drive to downtown Bakersfield bars and lounges
  • No on-site bar, but the hotel’s peaceful vibe makes it ideal for a mellow wind-down

What People Say

  • Guests love the convenient location near the venue and highway
  • Many mention the friendly staff and clean rooms
  • Travelers appreciate the free breakfast and pet-friendly policy

Areas for Improvement

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Judith, Camarillo, visiting Dignity Health Arena Sun, 25 August 2019

Not in a very good part of town. Hard to get into the driveway - very sudden turn. Had to wait for the room to be ready. The price of the room was good but I won't stay there again.

Liked: It was fairly close to the Rabobank Arena.
Disliked: Hotel is old. Room had an order to it. Bathroom almost impossible to move around it. Very small toilet.

Poor - 0.5 out of 5

Jan Fri, 25 April 2025

We managed but will not...

Liked: We tried to like the meager “free breakfast” choices. The yogurt was grainy - most likely frozen before thawing and serving! The one person staff struggled to keep the coffee pot full - plus there was not a hot plate or burner on the coffee maker or near it to keep one pot warm while the second pot was brewing - UNACCEPTABLE!
Disliked: Understaffed and receptionist couldn’t find our reservation’s. The first room was pitiful - the dust, debris and totally unmaintained AC/heat unit was UNSAFE, A HEALTH HAZARD and UNACCEPTABLE!My next communication will be to the Bakersfield CA health department!The second room had what I would call a dining room chair, a king bed and a desk chair EXTREMELY SPARTAN! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

Berkhoudt Wed, 23 April 2025

Poor

Liked: Everything else was fine.
Disliked: I will never come back here. Despite the fact that I reserved and paid for the room myself, the front desk worker refused to look at, speak to, or hand things directly to me, opting to address and hand things to my boyfriend instead. Including things I needed to sign.
