Best Western Plus Hill House
Ended up in the rooms over the bridge in the back, there was no gate to access the street and I had to walk back over the bridge and out through the entrance to get to the street to walk to the convention center which was very inconvenient.

Bakersfield Marriott at the Convention Center
The hotel was pretty decent and the staff is very nice. But the hotel's price/performance ratio seems a bit low for its location. The entry and the breakfast were pretty good, but most of the hotel is fairly ordinary.
