One block from Taft's main pedestrian street, two blocks from Taft's best sports bar.

The Best Western is in the old downtown, not on Kern Street, a city street designated as Hwy 33 that has become another retail district

On a quiet street away from main highway traffic noise.

There is a very nice pool area and a park across the street.

Oil monument across street worth a visit.

With everything related to Travel expensive, the BW gives customers the money worthwhile.

After a day of traveling from San Francisco towards Palm Springs, we needed a place to stay overnight.

At the entrance is a metal sculpture of an oil well pump jack, the thing most travelers notice first, which looks like the toy bird that bobs up and down in water, this is what it is).The hallways are lined with photos, mostly b&w

Until this Best Western Inn opened, Taft had only small older motels to offer travelers.

We travel occasionally on I5 between NorCal and SoCal; it would be worth the trip off of I5 if we needed to stay overnight in this area.

We had to change our CA coast itinerary when Rte 1 got washed out from the excessive rain and my sister, who was traveling with us,  became ill.

On our travels the wife and I have stayed in many high end motels and hotels,

Could use a larger shower drop to protect the life of the walls and such.

I am staying here for approximately 28 days for work and the walls are paper thin it seems.

The price was right, and the room was spacious (king bed and couch, with plenty of room to spare).

The rooms are clean, quiet and spacious with comfortable king size beds.

The room was big, clean and offered a very comfortable bed.

This motel is just fine if all you're looking for is a clean bed and a place to take a shower in the morning.

The room itself was very clean, everything did work fine ( flat screen TV, bathroom, bed was fine too ) and in the morning after 7 am you have coffee in the Lobby, nothing more.

Its clean, rooms are big, and the bed was great.

Room had microwave, refrig & firm bed & cost $45 ("standard rate").

The shower and bathroom were extremely clean, as were the bedding.

but the room was clean and the bed wasnt bad.

although there were a couple stains on the carpet from much use I'd imagine.

All we required was clean and comfortable.

Yes the room is reasonably clean and yes the staff is nice enough,

Rooms clean, the motel is reaaallyy nice!

Clean, no frills, flat screen TV, free wifi, quiet, and only $60 total.

Pool was very clean, If you want to raise Hell and no one to care if you do, then this is your place, neighborhood Dogas barked all night too.

The pool is sparkling clean and refreshing.

This was the cleanest and most comfortable & reasonably priced motel ever.

It was very comfortable and clean, not like the Ritz,

This place was  super nice, The amenities are there if not more so, The bed was comfortable, Room was cozy, It was a complete hidden gem, I would have never known this was awesome until I stayed here,  5 stars

Adequate service when checking in and comfortable beds.

I stayed upstairs and had a hard time getting through the front door with no landing at the top of stairs.

The front door to the hotel automatically locks so no one can just wonder into the hotel which is awesome.

You can hear people walking or taking shower upstairs & people talking or TV from next door.

Only 1 way in or out, so you have to hand-carry through the front door,  and parking is somewhat limited.

From the friendly welcome through to the good wishes on our departure two days later, we felt at home in this comfortable hotel.

The staff was very friendly, and while it was very simple, again, most importantly, it was very clean, comfortable, and quiet

No pool :-(
Friendly and professional staff.

The rooms are also very clean and the staff is very friendly.

Lighting in the room was a bit dim, especially without light over the sitting area,

In addition to that, the light over the vanity only illuminated to about 20% of what it should.

Only one of the two ceiling lights worked and the one window was filthy.

Thankfully, it was never too loud as to awaken our daughter.

My only criticism is that being in the first floor, I could hear the quest above me walking around and his TV.

And yes, the bathroom light/fan is super loud!

Sadly, the bathroom fan was so loud you could hear it over the TV.

Some movements in the hotel corridor during the nights, it is apparently used by oil workers working in shifts.

The traffic outside was noisy so I never slept.

If you have a room on the side facing the street, bring earplugs because it is pretty noisy with all of the cars that go by and kids playing loud music.

What a nice place-great front desk, spacious clean room, micro-fridge and microwave.

Quiet location, room was clean, large and comfortable.

Rooms are spotless and the Wi-Fi reception is quite good allowing for effortless streaming.
