I went to KLEA with the intention of using this venue for my sister's wedding. I was greeted rudely…read moreby Diana, she seemed upset about the amount of people who were brought in to see the venue (myself bride mother of bride and children). We asked basic questions about the venue and she seemed to not mind. Once the price of the venue was brought up I asked (being a KLEA member) about the KLEA member discount (knowing there is one). Diana responded very rudely, "what about it?" I ask what the discount was being a member. Diana stated she was only giving a discount to the bride or groom no one else. I asked Diana if she can tell me the discount regardless, she refused. We continued with the tour, at the end of the tour we asked about availability dates. Diana told us, I asked Diana if we can review the contract, she approved. I asked if she could get it, she then stated she didn't see a point but could get it if I'd like. I told her yes please. Diana changed her mind and said she was not going to show us unless we signed it. I explained I just wanted to review it before we signed anything she refused. My sister (bride to be) was too fed up to continue to speak with her and asked to leave. It was very apparent Diana did not like us when we entered the venue, the way she spoke to myself and my family was very rude. It also should not matter if the bride or groom is a member to get a discount. My gift for my sister's wedding is paying for the venue I am a KLEA member, my mother is a KLEA member, my brother in law is a KLEA member. Our family is Law Enforcement in Kern County. It is not only about the discount, the way Diana made my sister feel was very uncalled for. This was my sister's favorite venue however how can she enjoy her wedding when the person in charge of the venue was unpleasant for no reason? Venue is pretty customer service was awful. I would love a response from anyone at this venue.

My first experience with this hall was when I was a small child and my grandparents had their 50th…read morewedding anniversary party here. Everyone had a great time. As an adult I knew I wanted to have my wedding here. The lady who owns this place was very nice. She was accommodating and helpful. We were allowed to set everything up for the reception the day before because as luck would have nobody was renting it that day. The best thing about this place is that you can have both your ceremony and reception here. This really worked for us as we were on somewhat of a tight budget. There is a Roman style stage in the back which is lovely for a ceremony. The Hall itself can hold up to 215 people. We only had 120 and there was ample room. It is equipped with a kitchen and a bar. If you are getting married in Bakersfield I highly recommend checking this place out!

I went to a Christmas party here on Saturday with some friends...Actually i didn't even know what…read morethis place was. But they rent it out for parties etc. The owners are super nice, the bathrooms were spotless no weird smells lol. It's spacious but not a lot of parking or maybe just weird parking i didn't see what was on the other side of the building so possibly more there. Hard wood floors and neutral decor so that makes it easy to decorate whatever function you may be having there. It has a bar and i will say the drinks were good but the pours were watched like an eagle and were small. The wine list was small but decent i just had an issue with the prices for drinks and wine the portions were in my opinion too small. I also would've appreciated my wine to be served in wine glasses instead of a plastic small clear solo cup...The food was catered by Salty's and everything i tried was yummy except the salad. I do want to reiterate that the staff and owners who run the hall are gracious and always had smiles on their faces. If i or someone in my family were in need to rent something for an event i would definitely keep this place in mind and recommend them especially for budget minded people.

Where do i begin, my cousin had his wedding here. At first ur excited things will go well. The pool…read moretable is fake, fuseball table fake, piano is broken, n my favorite the AC does not work. No reimbursements of any kind. As far as the recepcion, they provide the bartenders, that would not serve us any drinks, they were seen pouring water instead of liquor since like 10 PM. The guy was rude n problematic, if he hates bartending then find another job. The musicians that were family friends as well, were rejected drinks food and even water. These guys shouldnt be in control of how we drink the water bottles, idk if it is an ego thing but it is not his party. I also had a straw hat with a built in fan that was left outside by the pool, given we were staying there so i had nothing to worry about. The next day i see the owner of the venue wearing it like its hers. If they are choosing the bartenders, they need to pick some that can do their job. Instead of trying to control someones wedding. If i could, 0 stars

Friendly, professional, accommodating staff, we were served not long after we arrived. BBQ chicken, tri tip, green salad (with an AMAZING vinaigrette), chili beans and rolls. Everything was delicious. Tri tip is so easy to overcook, but Salty's does it right. There was a margarita station we enjoyed as well. BBQ sauce is scratch made and so good, we asked for a little more. I got the chance to meet the owner and share how my family has loved the Salty's brand for years and I enjoyed dining experience.

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and from start to finish our experience was exceptional. Stephanie the coordinator of the venue is an absolute delight to work with. She made everything stress free during the planning, during the event and afterwards. Venue included the table linens, linen napkins, tables, chairs, and food. The food was outstanding. We had 100 guests and the venue was very accommodating for our needs. Jeff the owner of Saltys is a great businessman. I highly recommend Saltys for just a quick dinner or having a event at their banquet hall. All my guests were pleased with their overall experience. Thank you Saltys, your staff and especially Stephanie for making such a memorable event for us.

This place is located off of China Grade Loop and is very secluded for those nice parties you wish…read moreyou could have, where you don't have to worry about a noise complaint from that nosey neighbor. The hall comes fully eqipped with a fully loaded kitchen and a full bar (full meaning you fill it yourself). The back part of the lot is very spacious and has a full sized gazebo. The back lot also comes with a full sized Santa Maria style grill next to a spot for an out door bar area. The whole buolding is equiped with surround sound so you cant miss the beat anywhere on the lot. At this location you don't need to worry about a noise complaint and has everything you need to host your own Birthday, Quinceanera, Anniversary and Weddings. This space would also be a dream spot for any Superbowl party. If your looking for a great place for that certain occasion then the 420 Club should be at the top of your list. I had my Birthday party here last year and couldnt believe how great this location was.

I must say this was my first time actually staying in Bakersfield and I was honestly surprised that…read morethe Marriott was completely booked! Granted it looked like all construction workers because there was nothing else but oversized trucks in their parking lot! My fiancé Googled "clean hotel without bed bugs" and Padre Hotel came up first! Their online reviews were great and we were exhausted and needed to rest! We pulled into their valet parking just to drop off our things. As my fiancé parked the car, across the street in the over night garage, I was able to get a Single King room on a Monday night for $159. As we walked into our room #701, it was rather small, but fine since it was just the two of us. As I sat on the bed, it was actually hard! Yay!!!! I can't STAND soft beds and rather sleep on the floor! Haha no joke! Then my fiancé went into the restroom and suddenly he tapped on something glass sounding as I was turning ing on the tv..... I noticed there was a curtain by the bed, so I pulled it across and lo and behold by the bed was the shower and just a curtain the person from the outside of the shower could open/close as they please..... hee. We also had a mini fridge in the room along with a desk and chair. We had planned on staying one night, but got inside LA, and we figured we'd extend our stay. Upon doing so, we went downstairs the next day and asked if there was a deal if we could stay 3-4 days, and sure enough there was!!!! It's always great to see what happens once you ask! Hee. We got a larger room with a corner room location, I forgot the room number, but the restroom was larger and had a separate wall between the toilet and shower area, so if someone was in the shower, someone else could use the toilet and not be seen. This longer hotel room also had a chaise lounge chair and a better view of their downtown area, granted a lot of the places have closed. Overall, I honestly loved our stay here! It reminded me of a county version of The Fairmont SF! They constantly played new aged country music in the lobby! Then on Fridays and Saturdays there was a live band or singer in the bar area! I love how they had a community aspect to the hotel with some local live entertainment!!! My fiancé also loved watching The Knicks play on the bar tv with other people at the bar! Hee. Oh and they had an adorable coffee shop that made Ready To Order items downstairs too! See my review at Farmacy Cafe, but too freaking too! Country SHREK! Hee We will definitely be back again!!!!!
