Next we were not told about the pool being closed,

Unfortunately, many were closed / out of business.

Arrived Sunday and most places were closed.

but it gives us good clean room, reasonable breakfast, and good service.

This motel is an oasis in a remote oil town: Clean rooms,  extensive breakfast, comfortable beds, helpful staff.

The rooms are clean and well-appointed and the property in general is clean and in good shape.

The room was clean, and the environment was quiet.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable!

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

It is always extremely clean and the rooms are wonderful.

Quick night and it was peaceful and the rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The parking lot had lots of bright lights and everything in our room was clean and neat.

Super clean and comfy and the rooms are very clean.

The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

The rooms were spotless, beds were great and a very good shower head.

I had a top floor room facing Main Street, looking at a historic building housing an auto body shop; not a scenic vista,

The main street is a short strip of small shops and restaurants.

Maybe, I should check the local pawn shops for my ring.

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.

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

but after that there are NO redeeming qualities of staying here.

I just didn't expect such a large, well kept room like this from a Motel 8 in the middle of nowhere.

At $50.00 per night I didn't expect much.

The only reason we didn't leave is because it was late.

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

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

Rooms clean, the motel is reaaallyy nice!

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.

It was ok for one night, room was clean and the shower ok. WiFi was ok.

but the room was clean and the bed wasnt bad.

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.

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.

The room was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable.

Quiet location, room was clean, large and comfortable.

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

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

Check in was not smooth as I made reservations through third party

Didn't make advance reservations, so I asked a resident of Taft, who suggested Caprice Motel.

Unfortunately this motel is rarely available to go to because they reserve the whole motel to oil companies for their crew to use when working in Taft or nearby.

The room was very clean and nice amenities were provided.

Lovely people as well as very clean rooms.

The owner/manager of the Caprice was very nice, rooms were clean, A/C worked great (it was still in the 90's when we checked in).

Cost, reasonable, for a room that is clean and well kept.

Dropped off key in drop slot when office was not open in morning.

We checked the Topper Motel first - they were full except one smoking room which we declined - manager suggested we try the Caprice.

Found myself stuck in Taft for the night.

The rooms are clean, large and the beds firm and comfortable.

I late stayed there on 12/29/09 and the rooms where clean, bathroom was clean, and check-in was quick.

The rooms are small, good for two people.

Frankly, I don't know why this place gets the top reviews for Taft - unless all the others are really dreadful.

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