@@YellowProductions I'm a Bakersfield native and still live here and I actually spent the night at the Padre Hotel when it was still run down and had no working elevator when I was 18 back in 1994. I remember going to the bar there when I had just turned 21 in 1997 & it was a total seedy dive bar then not at all nice & refined as it is now & it had a mannequin of a woman sitting on a swing hanging from the middle of the ceiling!! My friend had a guy friend who lived there in 1994 & it was definitely a scary place then especially at night! I tried sleeping on a chair and I swear I could hear footsteps walking around in the room we were in while the other 2 people were sleeping. I could hear what sounded like a woman whispering but I couldn't make out what she was saying. It scared me so much that I woke up my friend the guy & told them what I had just experienced & the guy said that he hears those same creepy noises every night and he was just used to it. He said that sometimes it felt as though someone was laying on the bed next to him and that he definitely hears a woman whispering. He said that he would also see a whitish figure of a woman standing near the drapes of the one window in the room! I made my friend Stacy take me home immediately!!
i live in Bakersfield and one day me and my husband decided to go in and recorded on my phone we barely bought it and when we went in i was recorded and then when we left and checked my phone it turned off i never got it to work after that so i just thought that whatever i caught didn't wanted to be seen
I live in Bakersfield and sometimes me and my friends wanna stay dt and have a place to stay after the bars. Last time we were there our next door neighbor was head from korn ha. What a badass dude
@@PMIII I stayed in one of the suites once when my 20 year high school reunion was hosted there. I've had drinks and ate at the main restaurant plenty of times. It's always a nice vibe.
you did an amazing job! love how you give a first person walkthru of everything- lobby, outside, hallway, gym, different room layouts, bathrooms. good eye catching the view of the mural in the lobby as you enter- it is breathtaking, and i didn’t realize you could see the fox theater at the end of the hallway like that. i live in bakersfield and you absolutely nailed everything. now i need to go try that french toast with the hot syrup jar.
Before they remodeled The Padre it was such a seedy hotel. 20 years ago me and my best friend went to see if we could find any scary stuff….the only thing that was frightening was getting on the old elevator….. and we went to the very top and took the stairs back down. The hallways were dark and kind of creepy and I remember there were roaches in the stairwell. The only part that was “lively” was the old bar downstairs that never carded anyone. Lol I have stayed at this hotel twice since the remodel. Once for my best friends birthday and another time for a wedding. The suites are really nice!
Yay! My hometown! I’m so happy to see you stayed at the Padre Hotel! I drive by there once in awhile. One thing you didn’t show was the rooftop patio, they have seating and a bar and used for parties. My dad is a musician and he and a friend of his plays music there once in awhile. If we go there just for dinner, we just park on a side street and don’t have to pay. But it’s good that parking structure doesn’t charge so much like places in L.A. or San Francisco charge so much for parking. Next time you visit here, try the Basque restaurants or Crystal Palace. 😁
Hi Chris. How convenient that the color of the room is ye;;ow. LOL. The room does have that vintage feel and the lobby has a classic look to it. Pretty nice place to stay. Thanks for sharing and take care.
If anybody in Bakersfield is looking to watch live sports come to Sam Lynn ballpark this summer and check out the Train Robbers! Recent Pacific Division Champions in the Pecos League! We’d love to see the city of Bakersfield come out and support!
Went to college in Bakersfield and have done a couple of Uber eats/ Door dash deliveries to the padre hotel. Very nice! I have also heard multiple stories about the ghost hauntings on the 4/5th floor. I don't remember which floor it was but knowing the story behind the hotel while delivering food really gave me rush and excitement as to what kind of ghost im going to see walking down the hall with Denny's pancakes in my hands.. Even talked to the doorman about the hotel and the spooky stories and he said to me "Yes I heard one of the floors with a certain room is haunted. Good thing I am only the doorman" we both shared a laugh as I left.
The van was found, but there was a lot of stuff missing. It was the first van from that company that had got stolen, so they were really sorry. It’s all good now though. Oh and we still have some of the furniture from the hotel from before it was remodeled. Some really cool old stuff!
There’s also a roof top lounge called the prairie fire; pretty cool at night. Sometimes I go there on Thursdays. usually Fridays and Saturdays it gets booked for private events like weddings for example.
Just saw this hotel in Portals to Hell - a paranormal show with Jack Osbourne. My husband and I were talking about maybe staying here one day after seeing it on that show. :) Also, you need to create a YT channel for your traveling princess. She is so adorable. 😍
That looks like a nice hotel. I'm not too crazy about there being a window with a curtain between the bedroom and the bathroom, but it's not too bad if you are staying by yourself. The bed looked really comfortable!
I remember when this was being remodeled. It definitely is like night and day compared to what it used to be. Too bad you couldn't show the roof top lounges. That being said, this hotel is right next to the Greyhound bus station and there is a lot of crime around in general. Not my favorite area to be walking around at night. Still, it's a favorite event venue for locals.
The greyhound bus station is closed and has been for a long time. If you go east from the hotel you are in downtown and it’s bad and gets worse the further east you go. If you go west then you’re in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bakersfield
The older hunted-looking hotels are always the most entertaining. 😅 And luckily there is a Padre on hand, in case the ghosts get too rowdy. All kidding aside, thanks for the great review Chris. P.S. The Traveling Princess is fast becoming a seasoned adventurer and a discerning foodie. 🥰
Yellow headboard, it's like they knew one day, you'd be doing a room review when they did the refurbishment. . Well the traveling princess had to have her two dollars worth to say at the end of the video. 😀😁👧🛏️🛌q
So what's the tourist allure to Bakersfield in the first place? Is one of those "bucket list" destinations that everyone must visit once in their lifetime? Asking for a few traveling friends.
Hell no - unless you have to come here for some reason like work or a wedding then stay the hell away. The ONLY exceptions to this are if you’re into country music or Basque food and culture. There’s nothing else worth visiting for no matter what anyone else says. Simply breathing the air here takes months off your life span.
Yes Anthony.. I hate all those extra fees. The good news is the Padre Hotel doesn't have any of those junk fees.. I like to support hotels with honest pricing
It would be cool if the host of this video actually knew something more about architecture, furniture, historical periods, design. Had some expanded vocabulary instead of describing everything as "interesting" or "retro"
Lol I live in Bakersfield California lol trust me the only night life besides the bars are the junky’s and homeless people fighting over drugs or whatever they do lol mainly drunks
I wouldn’t recommend staying in downtown. The area isn’t very safe especially for women at night or sometimes even in the day. If you can, I would recommend just staying at a friends house. And if you don’t have any friends here, then there’s a better and safer hotel next to Edwards theater. Bakersfield isn’t a safe place to be and it’s definitely not a good vacation stop. I’ve lived here 18 years and I wouldn’t recommend moving here to anyone…
Just know it’s not the safest area. Do not walk around at night. Cars are stolen or broken into all the time. Use valet. That parking garage is notorious for break ins.
If you want to meet the craziest and most dangerous people in Bakersfield, maybe California in general, you can stroll the streets surrounding the hotel. The worst thing about this hotel is that you actually have to go to Bakersfield to stay there. This review and pictures of this hotel give people the impression that Bakersfield is actually somewhere you'd want to visit. Couldn't be further from the truth. It's horrible.
So when I stay there, I'm going to be charged $1.00 an hour to sleep there and if I use the valet parking, it's going to cost me $15.00 to have a kid park it in the same garage! Then you better tip the kid or he'll f@ck up your car! Just drive it across the street yourself! There is no night life except to go to bars that aren'teven good like in New Orleans, it's not like there's a real night life of a broadway show like enterainment. Downtown Bakersfield after dark is a place to get your drink on. Kern county, come on vacation, leave on probation, return on revocation!

Neat! Yes. I've heard of the haunted stories

Bakersfield native here also! Hi 👋 neighbors
I live in Bakersfield, and I never even went in. Looks so nice
Same 😌
I’m from Bakersfield and I never thought it would look this luxurious
It's actually quite nice!
I live in Bakersfield and sometimes me and my friends wanna stay dt and have a place to stay after the bars. Last time we were there our next door neighbor was head from korn ha. What a badass dude
Hey thanks for coming up to old Bakersfield and taking a tour around our city! Love the vids!
Born and raised here and it is indeed a great hotel. Loved the review!
Same here 😌 I've seen it before but never went inside.

Hey Chris. Your Central Valley series is ridiculously good. Just wanted to tell you.
Thanks Scrappy Doo! I appreciate the feedback!
Aww, I used to live there and it has a cute bar down stairs.

Thanks Happy Girl! The rooftop patio was closed when we were there... so that's why it's not in the video :)
Hi Chris. How convenient that the color of the room is ye;;ow. LOL. The room does have that vintage feel and the lobby has a classic look to it. Pretty nice place to stay. Thanks for sharing and take care.
For sure! My favorite color!
It's a really classic building a real blast to the past.
Awesome video and the hotel is unique looking.
Thanks Wutaii!
Love the Padre. Thanks for sharing 😃
Born and raised here in Bako, I love that beautiful haunted Padre Hotel while listening to Korn
Nice
Very nice quality, great vid!!🤩
Thanks Porchia!
Fox theater ❤

I got to stay a week there, our moving van got stolen and the company payed for our stay. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, it was really nice.
Your moving van got stolen? Did it have all of your stuff in it? That's sounds awful
The van was found, but there was a lot of stuff missing. It was the first van from that company that had got stolen, so they were really sorry. It’s all good now though. Oh and we still have some of the furniture from the hotel from before it was remodeled. Some really cool old stuff!

Luckily no ghosts on our stay
Have been thinking of taking the wife and getting a room for a weekend get a way. Probably will now. Thanks for the review.
It’s a beautiful hotel, maybe I will check it out next time when we pass by!
Definitely stop in
That looks like a nice hotel. I'm not too crazy about there being a window with a curtain between the bedroom and the bathroom, but it's not too bad if you are staying by yourself. The bed looked really comfortable!
Thanks for sharing
I live in Bakersfield and I have not once stayed or visit the padre hotel. I do pass it a few times

Great vid Chris, know this is off topic of this vid but on topic of Vegas, what are your thoughts on the Rio?
Hi Cody. At this point I think the Rio is old and tired.. it's going to remodeled and rebranded as a Hyatt in the near future
i love how this video just summoned everyone who lives in bakers lmao
It sure did Haru! TH-cam must be suggesting it to all of Bakersfield. Welcome to Yellow Productions Bako!
You should consider The Darling hotel in Visalia
The Darling is a way better experience than Padre.
The older hunted-looking hotels are always the most entertaining. 😅
And luckily there is a Padre on hand, in case the ghosts get too rowdy.
All kidding aside, thanks for the great review Chris.
P.S. The Traveling Princess is fast becoming a seasoned adventurer and a discerning foodie. 🥰
hey my friend ever been to Atlanta? some you tubers had some of there computers stolen there mate any good hotel tips for them there?
I've been to Atlanta a couple times... not enough to really make any hotel recommendations though
Yellow headboard, it's like they knew one day, you'd be doing a room review when they did the refurbishment. . Well the traveling princess had to have her two dollars worth to say at the end of the video. 😀😁👧🛏️🛌q
Yeah.. totally planned for my stay :)
Chris, trip suggestion: Laughlin, NV.
Thanks Bill :)
Awesome job chris
Thanks Adam!
No problem
So what's the tourist allure to Bakersfield in the first place? Is one of those "bucket list" destinations that everyone must visit once in their lifetime? Asking for a few traveling friends.
Sure. There’s a lot to do In Bakersfield.
Hell no - unless you have to come here for some reason like work or a wedding then stay the hell away. The ONLY exceptions to this are if you’re into country music or Basque food and culture. There’s nothing else worth visiting for no matter what anyone else says. Simply breathing the air here takes months off your life span.
Lucky your vehicle didn't get stolen when you were in Bakersfield.
Although this is a short review, what is the Topher rating on this hotel?
Come to SANDRINIS
The sad thing about independent hotels in the U.S. is that almost all of them charge insane resort/destination/urban/amenity fees now.
Yes Anthony.. I hate all those extra fees. The good news is the Padre Hotel doesn't have any of those junk fees.. I like to support hotels with honest pricing
@@YellowProductions good to know!
I have heard inky good things!
You have got to hit Woolgrowers Basque Restaurant
I stayed there once 👍
I guess it wouldn't hurt to revisit the city I used to live at, right? 😁
Bout to move in to a 1 bedroom studio $785 a month... Fingers crossed
i pass by it all the time but i’ve never been inside
Cool hotel video but the traveling princess stole the show
All the nightlife for 20 somethings. Also all the homeless. Looking to getting pulled over? Try downtown Bakersfield at night.
do one on the darling hotel in Visalia
I did! Here's the Darling review: th-cam.com/video/ggSLkiVNHxU/w-d-xo.html
Im in bakersfield also
Sorry for your loss
It would be cool if the host of this video actually knew something more about architecture, furniture, historical periods, design. Had some expanded vocabulary instead of describing everything as "interesting" or "retro"
Lol I live in Bakersfield California lol trust me the only night life besides the bars are the junky’s and homeless people fighting over drugs or whatever they do lol mainly drunks
Facts
@@helpfulcommenter right lol
Any rough stuff Woman hanging around bar. Area
i used to bounce there before i made it into the oilfields.
The place is hunted for sure especially the downstairs by the bathroom stayed and partied many times.
I used to go to the Padres bar before they refurbished it and it was a dive bar and the hotel was filled with drug addicts that lived in the hotel
LOOKS LIKE A NICE PLACE THANKS
I wouldn’t recommend staying in downtown. The area isn’t very safe especially for women at night or sometimes even in the day. If you can, I would recommend just staying at a friends house. And if you don’t have any friends here, then there’s a better and safer hotel next to Edwards theater. Bakersfield isn’t a safe place to be and it’s definitely not a good vacation stop. I’ve lived here 18 years and I wouldn’t recommend moving here to anyone…
It's Haunted At Night!!!! Someone Got Killed There!!!!!
Picking a hotel over an Air BnB really depends on the area and prices for me
I like hotels :)
Just know it’s not the safest area. Do not walk around at night. Cars are stolen or broken into all the time. Use valet. That parking garage is notorious for break ins.
Has ghost therr
I have heard that it was haunted...but I don't remember who or what haunts the hotel.🤔 Can you list the ghost stories for me please?
The baby stole the show at the very end. The video was okay too I guess.
This is the most haunted hotel In the states
my favorite part of the padre is how their valet crashed my $117,000 car

It's a beautiful hotel, too bad it's in a horrible town.
If y’all seriously choose to stay here just don’t go walking around by yourself at night lol
That’s the biggest microphone I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
"Night life" lol
Also, Padre hotel is haunted.
I have heard that it was haunted.... but I don't remember who or what haunts the hotel. Can you list the ghost stories for me please? 🤔
Cops will target you doe
In a near future I will stop follow you to follow Travelling Princess channel...
Bro wtf I’m from here
"Night life" lol
Night life as in the drugged out freaks who wander around downtown at night
