Every time I come to this area on business my first choice is always Best Western Taft.

Taft is in an oil-producing area and that is the bedrock of its economy.

I used all amenities during my stay (fitness room, business center, breakfast and lobby area) all areas exceeded my expectations.

This is probably the best hotel in the area.

My room and the reception area where exceptionally clean,  well maintained and nicely furnished, every thing in my room was in working order,  nice amenities, the breakfast provided was great had a lot to choose from, which I greatly appreciate, had a great stay, highly recommend

in the middle of a rural area, one can find the 2 years new Best Western Plus Taft Inn, which is a delight.

We stayed here en route from Bay Area to S California.

Having a pool is a plus in this hot area!

There are plenty of places to eat in the area.

The manager was very helpful with area information, directions, restaurant recommendations and gave my disposable plates and cutlery so I could warm up my left over lunch for dinner.

The pool area was clean and well maintained.

Very convenient when visiting family in the area.

Our room overlooked a nice large park-like grassy area in the rear.

Breakfast is ok. A coffee machine with many choices available all day.

The breakfast was delicious and hot, the pool for kids was a plus and the computer room to work in is nice as it has a printer. A++

The breakfast is excellent, very clean facility !

Everything was great for me there: big clean room, quick and easy check-in and check out,  breakfast with numerous options.

I travel for work at times and can rely on them for a good nights rest,
They have breakfast again and It helps me start the day of right.

Back to nice hot breakfast with decent variety.

The breakfast, room, amenities(laundry) were great.

The Included hot breakfast, the ceiling fan in the rooms, plenty of lighting in the rooms, outlets, Fridge, microwave & coffee makers too.

Other choices included, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastries, breads and cereal.

They have breakfast every morning that is delicious.

A plus at Best Western is the breakfast buffet with real breakfast, not a basket of cellophane-embalmed pastries bought by the case at Costco.

Delightful swimming pool, good food (skip the oat meal) and delicious coffee.

The breakfast was so good We plan to stay there more in the future!

Pros:
- Clean interior with modern decor
- Pleasant smelling rooms and high ceilings that made the space feel much larger
- 24-hour coffee station with a Keurig machine
- Wide range of breakfast options (hot breakfast + cereal, push-button pancake maker)
- View of the distant mountains from the breakfast room
- 2 blocks from their "main," street.

There are restaurants within walking distance.

The location is in walking distance to several nice restaurants.

Easy stay for NGPC, quick trip out to the track, convenient to grocery store, gas stations and both restaurants and fast food.

Desk clerk had good recommendation on open food locations..  WE had a great meal at a local place.

Its walking Distance to a few eateries, Bars & a short distance to other numerous spots including Asian Experience(must try Restaurant hosted on DDD).

If you want fast food or gas marts, go to Kern Street,

Was hoping to eat at my favorite chinese resturant

The nearby highway is where one would go to access the grocery store, gas, and fast food places i.e. McDonalds.

For lunch or dinner I recommend eating at Jo's Family Restaurant.

comfy bed, decent size room, ample lighting, modern furnishings, above average breakfast, and cordial check-in and great restaurant recos (thanks, Hector!).

Check in and Check out was a easy Even helped me find a great place to get a bite to eat.

Excellent micro brewery in town which also serves food.

Also it is within walking distance to many of the towns restuarants.

Downtown Taft is a nice, quiet place. It was nice to walk downtown and get some local food (not fast food or chain restaurant)

The included breakfast was hot and tasty, offering scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy.

This is the only hotel that I'll stay in while visiting Taft.

I have been staying with them every time I travel to Taft and I will ALWAYS will!

I have stayed in Taft before in the last 4-5 years and Best Western was the greatest thing they have for hotels.

I would recommend staying here if you ever find yourself in Taft, CA.

Be sure to visit the Taft Fox for a wonderful movie experience

This was our second trip to Carrizo Plain and our second stay in Taft.

we are very happy to stay in this hotel in Taft.

If I end up in Taft again, this is where I'll stay.

For seeing the wild flowers at the Carrizo Plains, the Best Western Plus Taft Inn in Taft can not  be beat.

Highly recommend the Best Western Inn in Taft.

I found the Best Western on line when I was preparing to come to Taft for our grandsons motocross race.

convenient location and nice that there is a reputable property in Taft.

Taft itself has a wonderful community and friendly atmosphere.

Motel 8 is a great base for exploring the area.

We traveled from Solvang near the coast, over the mountains on our way back to the SF bay area.

If you need to stay in this general area, the Holland Inn in Taft would be #1, this place probably # 2.

They've got a laundry, coffee breakfast and a pool.

A little of everything there including a great Art Deco Theater.

Room had basic furnishings all be it mismatched.

I placed bags on my feet so that they would not touch the shower.

Most everything is available in Taft 6 miles up the road.

Suggest you eat in Taft tho (Original Hacienda Grill = great) unless you want convenience store food -

Taft is 10 minutes away with more choices of motels and eateries.

Basic motel, close to the movie theater and a yummy mexican restaurant.

The Topper's Motel is near these landmarks: Tule Elk Reserve State Natural Reserve, Maricopa Trading Post, Westside Recreation, Skydive Taft, First Baptist Church, West kern oil museum, Westside Arms, Fox Theater, Old's Cool Antiques and More, Taft Oilworker Monument, Ben's Books, Westside Recreation, Taft Historic Fort, Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area, San Andreas Fault, Kern County Raceway Park, Wind Wolves Preserve, Kern River Parkway Trail, Beyond Martial Arts, The Park at River Walk, Massage Envy Spa Bakersfield Marketplace, The Gaslight Theatre & Music Hall, Bakersfield Hobbies, Studio Movie Grill (Bakersfield), Umimotto and The Links at Riverlakes Ranch

but well laid out and furnished with queen bed, student desk and chair, a simple armchair, microwave and (new) fridge, and coffee maker.

Cars were very secure in a horseshoe style.

Our room was adequate - old blankets and cheap furnishings: just about as basic as you would want to go.

And the restraunt on the premeses was perfect!

It's a very traditional upper scale Mexican style, tile and a rug, great shower, TV on the wall, and a great restaurant attached!

Great hosts, the rooms are more than adequate and you are 30' from one of the best Mexican restaurants in town.

but adjoins a fine authentic mexican restaurant  and has a large swimming pool.

The rooms are small, good for two people.

Air con was noisy, as it so often is, and we would have liked to open the window an inch or two
