The Belvedere In The Padre

Awesome haunted hotel! Great food downstairs and friendly staff. Cool showers, but one thing the designer didn't (or did they? lol) think through is clear door to the bathroom. Seeing someone shower is one thing, seeing them go to the bathroom is on another level of intimacy. Now, with this being said, truth is after staying at the haunted hotel you and your partner will have a different kind of intimacy so no bathroom privacy might not be an issue after all lol hope you enjoy your stay!

We decided to stay at The Padre before heading out to the kern river for white water rafting. I was blown away, so much beautiful thoughtful details throughout the floors and the rooms just appointed well and spacious. The bar was happening, great service and food, so wonderful, friendly all around. My son had room service with pesto pasta choc. lava cake. We even had brioche french toast in the am! loved, loved the fun experience and bought impluse tickets to the fox theater too. Will visit again spread the word.Rooms: loved the mattress and headboard, modern, clean and large the shower was tiled modern too.Food drinks: we had the steak with brussel sprouts and fruit and cheese plateNoteworthy details: all around a wonderful place to stay, dine and see a show at the Fox. Super fun talking with people at the bar and some ghost stories.

No way to contact main desk.had to call the main number from cell phone to get hold of room service. They then transferred call and apologized that extension for room service was not working.. Not enuf towel racks. No literature in room regarding hotel amenities. Ice machine, restaurants etc. No bathroom cups. Bad signage for valet. Desk help very excellent and extremely helpful.

I had a horrible experience. I called months prior to my stay to talk to someone about the reason I was staying. I was throwing a Bachelorette. I explained how we were getting 2 suites and was going to be decorating one and using one for facials for some of the small wedding party which was 4 people. I explained that at a later time guests would should up to take pics with the bride. I did not get the person on the phones name, but they gave me the ok I didn't think to get a name because I was being given the permission obviously and the ok to continue forth with that, so my to my understanding everything was fine and I booked. The girl on the phone was super nice, friendly, and was so excited because of all the plans. I booked awhile back and have been in contact with the hotel several times throughout the months to see if I can get an early check in to set things up. Everyone I spoke to was well aware. The day of, when people started to show up, I had a man from the front desk by the name of Christian come and had me a sign a paper saying I could be evicted. I was caught off guard and wasn't warned about this at all. The intent was not to party there, we were just taking pics and were going to all leave to dinner shortly after. I went downstairs to talk to him and he was incredibly rude. I understand if there's policies that prevent many people in the room after he told me, but I did call ahead of my reservation for a reason and not once was I told that. When I went back upstairs he didn't even give me 5 minutes to get back up there to kick everyone out before he was blowing up my phone. He was on a high horse, his behavior was disgusting. I will never stay there again because of that. I was totally respectful and wish someone would have told me this ahead of time. I would have booked something else somewhere else where I could do what I intended to do for the bride. We left as I said we would and continued with our plans. Only 2 people slept in each suite that night and I was told I had 0 noise complaints by another actually nice employee who apologized on behalf of Christian's behavior, which was not their fault at all. I was also told Christian wrote notes about me on my reservation, which is so petty. None of this would have been an issue if I was told initially that it was not ok and Christian did not have to come on his high horse and act the way he did, acting like he owned the place. It was embarrassing for the company and cringy how he put me on blast in front of a ton of people and could have at least pulled me aside and explained the situation. Never again will I book here. The ac was horrible and the room was incredibly hot. The lighting was sooooo dark in the restroom you could tell some were not working. Staying here was so not worth all of this. Never again.

Very nice hotel and excellent staff and customer service. The lobby restaurant and bar was magnificent. Delicious food and friendly employees. The free drink that came with my reservation was a pleasant surprise!
