The Motel 6 in Buttonwillow is part of a typical group of restaurants and gas stations beside interstate 5 (exit 257) at the intersection with Hwy 58, which leads to Bakersfield 20 miles east. The surroundings are mostly farmland; the small town of Buttonwillow is a few miles west. The L-shaped motel has 2 floors and exterior corridors, with rooms on the west side looking out over an outdoor pool and garden area. North-side rooms are quietest as they face away from I-5. Rates are low, and other facilities comprise wi-fi (for a small fee), expanded cable TV, free coffee, and a microwave/refrigerator in some of the rooms. Pets are welcome.
