Holland Inn and Suites -Taft

I have to be honest, for $74.00 (including tax) I didn't expect much. The exterior looks very modest and when we drove in the parking we found it packed with just a few spots available (we had a late 9:30PM check in). I called the Inn several times to keep them updated on when we would arrive and they were always quick to answer and very nice. The check in was very easy and Peter's wife (she said it was too hard to pronounce her name) was very helpful , even at a 9:30PM check in, and recommended the best route for us to visit the Carrizo Plains National Monument (our reason for visiting) and the best restaurants for breakfast. The room , which looks newly painted, was much larger than I expected and included two queen size beds, a small refrigerator and coffee maker ( they also serve coffee from 5AM to 10 AM). The shower appeared to have been also recently installed.

Horrible hotel. Over charged me and accused me of leaving my car in a spot that wasn't available for customer use when it was parked in the customer parking. Front desk clerk was very rude and condescending. Best part about this hotel is that it was clean. I'm

Incredible find. Needed a place to stay during Superbloom 2019 at Carrizo Plain. Peter greeted us and was outstanding with his reception, checking us in, and providing multiple maps and expert, up-to-date info on where to find the flowers! There was a significant line, at the Visitor's Center, the next day and we delightfully drove by it fortified with his multitude of accurate data. The room was quiet, great blackout curtains, fridge/microwave/coffee with fresh coffee and pastries each morning. I will reiterate the service was five star, the room spacious and comfy, and beautiful grasslands waiting your enjoyment!

For a small town, it's a Double Tree Hotel but it truly was a pleasant stay. I can say with honestly that that my stay here was better then at the Holiday Inn & Suits in Bakersfield. The staff was kind and everything in the room was clean and sanitized. I would recommend this place to those passing through this little town.

I was very pleased with my stay at this establishment. I checked in around 9:30 pm and the parking lot was full. I was nervous to leave my car on the street and the gentleman at the desk (I assume it was Peter) allowed me to park right near the entrance. I was traveling alone and he also placed me in a downstairs room close to the office.. these kind gestures made me feel safe and secure during my stay. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. I met the wife the next morning and thanked her. She was kind enough to call me when I left my pillow in the room. I will definitely stay here again when visiting.

I booked a room with a king bed. The room was decently large, with a couch tucked around a bend in the room. The television remote would only change channels if pointed at the received located behind the television, which made for uncomfortable TV browsing. The couch was around a corner, making TV viewing almost impossible. Luckily, the bed was in front of the TV, so once I had my channel picked, I could sit atop the bed. I had a friend joining my room for only 1 of the 2 nights, so I alerted the manager and paid a fee to add an additional person to my room. My friend arrived late after I had fallen asleep and the manager refused to allow her to come to the room. She told me the manager was aggressive with her and another friend who was going to stay in a different room and chased them out, saying that was too many people in the room. The manager followed them into the street and watched them as they got into their car to find an alternative place to stay. The next morning, the manger denied this, stating he was trying to help my friend because the room key card had been deactivated. While the accommodations had been adequate up until this point, I was fed up and it soured my trip and my experience at the Holland Inn.

Friendly, everything worked in hotel room, small alley with small parking spaces, if your vehicle is larger than a sedan then please park on 6th St. Not wheelchair-accessible. Proactive management provided list of local restaurants and a map with directions to wildflowers! Minimal breakfast in an alcove, good coffee was provided.

We were amazed by this hotel. The staff ( owners) were beyond friendly and accommodating, the room was spotless and large, great water pressure in the shower ( although the shower head was a bit low) - it was a great stay and exceptional value. I appreciate the unique quality of the smaller non- chain hotel.

Grubby, grim, poorly ventilated, and with a very narrow winding staircase to the second floor that I'm sure violates the building code and would not allow a suited up firefighter to safely climb the stairs. Pathetically stingy little "breakfast" was offered. You'll do better getting coffee and oatmeal at McDonalds. I stayed here once more than a year ago and am still haunted by it.OTOH, my room was huge. If I had wanted to assemble some criminal cronies and plan group misdeeds for a film noir set in 1971, this room would have been ideal, up to and including a dreary kitchenette with a sink for smashing liquor bottles in.

An original Taft hotel. Large rooms, all the regular amenities. Owner operated...good folks...good room rate.
