Baymont by Wyndham Bakersfield

Motel appears to be a long term rental. There was broken flat vehicles in lot. Unsavory characters hanging out in parking lot and detiorated rooms and fixtures. I could not sleep due to worrying about my safety and vehicle. Alarms on vehicles going off. Don't stay here! Fair warning ⚠️ $100 deposit, I haven't got back yet!

I hastily booked a room here due to a complication with a job site... As there was a 97°F heatwave and I was outdoors, it was either this or drive back to Fremont. In room 220, I forgot to take a pic, but the AC had a sticker on it saying it had a wall-mounted thermostat, but there wasn't (probably bought used from another hotel). It was blowing weak but cool air when I came in, but by 10 PM it might as well have been a fan. I tried ringing the bell to try to get the room switched, but nobody responded, and nobody answered the phone... I cooled the room down better leaving the door open before bed and just slept shirtless without a blanket (complete opposite of how I usually sleep). What doesn't make sense is that the shower curtain was cut short, almost flush with the edge of the bathtub... I might as well have showered without the curtain since by the time I finished, the bathroom floor was flooded and I had to mop it with a towel. Also, although it didn't quite bother me since it wasn't brighter than the light seeping in through the curtains (but it would if it did since I like to sleep in almost complete darkness): The light that goes over one side of the bed does not completely shut off, so it's eerily glowing the entire night. Also, the Wi-Fi comes and goes, and when it's up it's extremely slow (5 Mbps).
