Very friendly manager. The room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. Had all the basic amenities in the room. Parking was very easy in front of the room and was very safe. Had a very good restaurant next door. Enjoyed the food. Will definitely stay here next time.

2/10 Poor

one of the worst motel experiences. Bad smells everywhere, wi-fi not working, the only source of light is the ceiling lamp and to torn it off you have to get out of bed and walk to the switch by the door. The property was nearly empty but I was given the worst room - right by a busy street with a constantly barking dog behind the fence. They told me that they don't have rooms in a more quiet section. When I pointed out that there were no cars parked there - it was past midnight - they all of a sudden found a room. The bed was terrible - hard and squeaky. Avoid this motel

Cute place. Clean room. Firm bed. Friendly staff. Tight parking. Had a frig. and microwave in the room. We were looking for a place to sleep and shower while touring the beauty of Carrizo Plains. 😃🌸🌻 This place did that for us at a great price.

Very small hard beds that were advertised as Queen

The owner was nice and polite. However the room and had a very uncomfortable beds. It is in what seems like a shady and scary neighborhood. My therapy pet was afraid to walk around and go to the bathroom in the area even. It seems like The kind of place you go to for an hour to work.

Not a summer hotel!

Taft is HOT in the summer. This room only had a swamp cooler that kind of worked during the day. The chairs were stained & broke. Though it had a refrigerator & TV that was it. There was no microwave, iron, clock or blow dryer. The closest outlet to the bed was across the room. In order to find the time in the middle of the night you had to get up & go to your phone if it was plugged in. I felt this room was over priced for what was offered.

TAFT!

well... its TAFT! i was out there on my motorcycle riding the Carrizo Plain and exploring Elkhorn Valley (mostly dirt roads, etc), and decided a bed would be nice to sleep in, so i booked a room at this hotel. its got its "charm", Taft is a bit salty, and ruckus, someone knocked on the window in the middle of the night, as if in some sort of code. drag races on the street thru out the night... etc. definitely not a fancy hotel. did i like it? yah! sure. but i'm a bit adventurous? if staying in a hotel is an adventure. there is a good mexican food restaurant next door!
