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

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

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The continental breakfast (available in the hallway) is extremely small and consisted only of coffee/tea, bananas, and pre-packaged danishes.

The breakfast was a banana and a packaged sugar roll.

but it doesn't really make up for the lack of amenities, such as no continental breakfast, no welcoming lobby, no elevator, etc.

As with most old buildings, the electrical outlets were worn out, and when you plug something in, it just falls out - one of my pet peeves.

Used to be an apartment building, so design is a little odd.

Currently, when you close the drapes it's very dark.

The room they put us in as dark, dingy, and freezing cold.

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

I booked a room at this hotel based on the reviews, and they did not disappoint.

Plus it's nice and clean, a big plus in my book.

I would definitely stay there again, in fact I already reserved it for July.

lots of good eats nearby too, especially "Asian Experience".

Clase to restaurant and gas station.A lot of  Mexican And american places to visit.The room are big.

but with the fridge and microwave in the room, ate dinner and breakfast in my room.

The hotel is in town and we were able to walk to a restaurant.

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.

The Holland Inn & Suites in the little town of Taft, Calif., is an affordable and overall pleasant place to stay.

This is absolutely my home away from home when I'm in Taft visiting.

but nonetheless, if we went back to Taft, which we might in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

We were driving through this part of California and Taft was a very good stopping place for a night.

If you must stay in Taft, then Holland Inn is the best option.

but if you have to stay in Taft, this place is as good a place as any to stay.

The next time I am in Taft, I will stay here again.

I don’t know of any good place to stay in Taft or Mariposa.

Sink area wide  Enough to lay out all of your toiletries.

Parking is right outside your door - parking lot was a little dirty

The wooden doors have a deadbolt lock and a standard household doorknob lock.

The doors to the rooms open directly to the parking lot.

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

They seemed to be hosting a lot of oilworkers when I was there.

And Jo's restaurant is only two and a half blocks away

but comfortable and easy to walk to food and downtown restaurants.

It's a convenient location in downtown Taft within walking distance of restaurants and shops.

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.

Part of the whole experience of passing through Taft.

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.

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

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 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.

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