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!

Basic value for the money.

Hotel is small. They still give you a regular key. When we checked in you have to ring a bell and then since they are renovating the office it's like a make shift office but the staff had our reservation and the staff was friendly. Quick check in. Our windows didn't lock. The unit had no hair dryer nor iron. It has a swamp cooler that was really loud and didn't get cool. It had a mini fridge and microwave but rooms and hotel are really outdated. But is quiet and bed was comfy except for the extremely flat pillows. The maid service came and gave fresh towels and made the bed. It was blocks from things to do in the area and it was quiet at night.
