Overall Ratings & Reviews Best Western Plus Taft Inn

My wife was raised in Taft, and we've traveled there quite a few times for school reunions and "Oildorado" events. This Best Western was built and opened since our last visit, and is by far superior to any other lodging we have experienced. The facility still has a new look and feel, and the staff with whom we dealt were all helpful and friendly. It did seem to be somewhat under-staffed. Front desk staff, for example, were occupied with other tasks at other places, and the breakfast room was out of certain items. No great deal that, since the breakfast food was horrible. And the area around the BW is, well ... Taft. Oil towns aren't often pretty, and Taft is definitely an oil town.

room is very nice, very quiet area, very modern looking, clean room, was here for 1 night - did not have a chance to take part in use of other facility amendments - was happy with my stay

Very nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was really good every morning. Staff were very friendly.

The handicap room was great.

The room was clean and comfortable. Room service cleaned while we were away and did a great job.

Nice place to stay for holidays when visiting the fam

Nice hotel, great breakfast however be careful about leaving stuff in your vehicle we had a set of tools stolen out of our truck.

Clean and nice hotel!

This hotel is in great condition. The only gripe was that my second floor room was loud.

We stay at least 1 night while visiting family over the holidays. The rooms are nice and comfortable but the location is a little sketchy. It is walking distance from down town area.

Property very nice

We have stayed here three times this year because of Taft College. Its very convenient. The bed and pillows are very comfortable!

Good stay

The decor of the hotel is oil industry themed and even while in drought-ridden central CA there is no signage about water usage (except for the cards that come with the towels). Building has a new-construction smell/feel. Room was comfortable and clean enough, staff were nice.

The pool was green, the hotel has went down hill since it’s been built which I remember when it was built. The walking trail is unsafe due to drug addicts and you’re much better off staying in Bakersfield not that it’s much better. We were only there for a funeral but wanted to spend time by the pool with our grandkids and needless to say this was a Friday with 100 degree temperatures so this pool should have been spotless. The outdoor shower was shut off as well as the outdoor bathroom. All I can say is it use to be the only nice place to stay in Taft. All I can say now is there is no where nice to stay in taft

Toilet bowl was not clean and shower drain is not draining pretty bad.
