Guests at this Ramada Limited Suites in Bakersfield, California, are staying in the city where the West Coast sound of country music blossomed with the likes of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. In fact, Buck still performs at his own Crystal Palace Steakhouse. Leisure and business travelers are close to art and cultural facilities that make the city a haven for artists, performers and musicians. Downtown's theater district offers live performances, intimate dining, vintage movies and national touring theatrical presentations. Guests at the Ramada also are short drives from the Bakersfield Museum of Art and Rabobank Arena, Theater and Convention Center. Recreational enthusiasts and folks who want to lose their lunches will enjoy white water rafting down the Kern River, within a short drive from the Ramada. Air travelers are about six miles from Bakersfield Municipal Airport.

At this four story Ramada, each of the 80 guestrooms is a one room suite with a refrigerator, microwave oven, coffeemaker, data port, work desk, living area with sofa bed and sleeping area with kind size or two full beds. Some rooms feature VCRs and jetted tubs.

Guests can get their juices flowing in the mornings by attacking the hotel's continental complimentary breakfasts and stacks of hot waffles, followed by diving into the outdoor heated pool, provided it's filled with water. The hotel also features high speed Internet access, business center, exercise room, and meeting and banquet facilities ideal for family get togethers and business confabs. The parking lot is big enough for family recreational vehicles and group buses.

The Ramada Limited Suites Bakersfield is a good headquarters for exploring this unique city and region and get tigers by the tail, as Buck likes to sing.
