Holland Inn and Suites Taft California USA

"This was my first time staying at this hotel, and it is indeed a hotel, not a motel. There is no hotel lobby and to enter the hotel you enter thru the main entrance and up a few steps. The office and reception are at the top left of those stairs. The hotel itself is a few years old, but has aged well. It has all the modern conveniences you would expect, but because it is older, the rooms are more spacious than 'modern' hotel rooms. There are nights stands and tables with lamps, a large flat screen TV with Directv, a mini fridge, a coffee pot, and my room had a sitting area with a sleeper sofa. I liked the room and have every intention of staying with them again. I paid about $84.00 per night, with tax. I found the owners to be very helpful, and they provided a map to get to Carizzo. In the morning, there is fruit, some packaged breakfast snack cakes and coffee and tea bags available for takeaway, self service style. All in all I had a very pleasant stay. I do recommend this hotel. Sorry about the photos. I forgot to take them when i checked in, so I took them before I checked out."

"Clean room, all items work, plenty of space. Somewhat limited parking. Blackout curtains if you need to sleep late, room air conditioner. Minimal decor, has in room TV( did not use), Microwave and small refrigerator also in the room; WiFi is good. Quiet area, a few blocks off the main road. Relatively close to eating places."

"Stayed here for one night in a king bed room while visiting Carizzo Plain and surrounding areas for wildflower season. Very clean room, quiet, bed was fine, spacious room, nothing luxurious but more than adequate for the very reasonable price."

"I stayed at the Holland Inn this week, it is a great hotel. The staff are wonderful, very helpful, courteous and kind. The building and rooms are clean and above expectations. I stayed in the king room which was more than worth the cost per night. There is places to eat and grab a drink with in walking distance. Taft is a small city about 30 miles outside of Bakersfield. Best comparison would be staying in Primm NV and driving into Las Vegas. There is a lot to do in and around Taft. I looked at other hotels in the area. Don't bother, the Holland Inn is truly the best place to stay."

"I booked a room at this hotel based on the reviews, and they did not disappoint! The owners bought the hotel 2 years ago and have only made it better. They are a lovely couple. The room was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Water pressure was great in the shower! The TV was large and new. In the morning there were assorted pastries, fresh bananas and coffee. For being in the middle of nowhere, they do a pretty good business and it's obvious why. I'll definitely stay there again next time I'm out that way."
