We stayed one night. It was clean, quiet and staff was nice. I liked that I just had to walk just a few feet to have dinner. Which by the way was very very good! Oh and an easy walk across the street to the convenient store

Nice older hotel, very clean, modern room, able to park right in front of our room. Would stay there again if I were staying in Taft. Only negative is the ice maker serving the complex was not working but certainly not an issue.
