The place had been tastfully remodeled within the last year or so top to bottom inside and out. The staff was admazing and friendly. One warning is the the rooms were on the small size. For the money you can't beat it! ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Adequate and clean Comfortable room with all the basic amenities needed. Check in was speedy and staff was super friendly too. We stayed in a room with one queen bed which was quite small but adequate for one night. Mattress seemed better quality and newer. The water in the pool was cloudy and not heated. We had dinner at the attached restaurant, LaSalsa (not the chain), and it was quite good. Would stay again. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Vadim Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Topper is a no-frills motel in Taft CA. I chose this location to rest overnight for my supernloom photoshoot in the Carrizo Plain. Late check-in and check-out were seamless, the room was clean. My only complaints would be 1/ no drinking water in the room; 2/ the blanket was thin and, with this weather, too cold; 3/ the air conditioner was noisy, and 4/ room service vacuum cleaned the next room around 6-7 am which was too early in the morning. Overall, a decent place to rest for the money. ##### Vadim Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Pavel Apr 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You often get what you pay for. I paid very little and got very little. That was expected. The room was very small and smelled a little, but it was also clean, tidy and no insects of any kind. I was hoping for a clean cheap motel and that is exactly what it was :) I don't put 5 stars just because at 5 stars people expect things to be perfect, which it wasn't. For example, the walls are made of cardboard and you hear every single car driving by on the street behind. So bring ear plugs :) ##### Pavel Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rolf Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I've stayed here in the past and you cannot beat the price and convenience. ##### Rolf Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew May 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place to stay on an overnight trip ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07048b24-9534-4f14-b999-36879b759b9a-1760356868675.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Roseville Visitor 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. ##### Tom Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Holland Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Taft-Hotels-Holland-Inn-And-Suites.h9786971.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Plus Taft Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Taft-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Taft-Inn.h13218127.Hotel-Information) - [Sunset Motel](https://www.expedia.com/Taft-Hotels-Sunset-Motel.h10015099.Hotel-Information) - [Western Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Taft-Hotels-Western-Inn-Suites.h13229731.Hotel-Information) - [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bakersfield North](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Bakersfield-North.h1504914.Hotel-Information) - [Motel 6 Bakersfield, CA - East](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Motel-6-Bakersfield.h1037697.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Plus Hill House](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hill-House.h7588.Hotel-Information) - [Residence Inn by Marriott Bakersfield West](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Bakersfield-West.h49262495.Hotel-Information) - [Motel 6 Bakersfield, CA - Convention Center](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Motel-6-Bakersfield.h996212.Hotel-Information) - [Springhill Suites by Marriott Bakersfield](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Bakersfield.h1554892.Hotel-Information) - [Spark by Hilton Bakersfield Central](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Bakersfield-Central.h59740.Hotel-Information) - [Days Inn by Wyndham Bakersfield](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Bakersfield.h16026352.Hotel-Information) - [Economy Inn Buttonwillow Bakersfield I-5](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-I-5-At-Rt-58.h1540095.Hotel-Information) - [Motel 6 Buttonwillow, CA Central](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Motel-6-Buttonwillow.h1097728.Hotel-Information) - [Studio 6 Buttonwillow, CA](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Studio-6-Buttonwillow.h22552412.Hotel-Information) - [National 9 Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-National-9-Inn.h37027865.Hotel-Information) - [Vagabond Inn Buttonwillow North I-5](https://www.expedia.com/Bakersfield-Hotels-Vagabond-Inn-Buttonwillow-North-I-5.h983644.Hotel-Information) - [Motel 8](https://www.expedia.com/Maricopa-Hotels-Motel-8.h9986520.Hotel-Information) - [Cuyama Buckhorn](https://www.expedia.com/Cuyama-Buckhorn.h38909856.Hotel-Information) - [The Old Bear BnB](https://www.expedia.com/Pine-Mountain-Club-Hotels-The-Old-Bear-BnB.h72565839.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Kern County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Kern-County.d553248635976433035.Flight-Destinations) - [Kern County Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Kern-County.d553248635976433035.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Kern County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Kern-County.d553248635976433035.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Kern County Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Kern-County.d553248635976433035.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Kern County](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Kern-County.d553248635976433035.Travel-Guide-Activities)
