Pool area 3ft to 9ft deep!
Christa S.

Passing through to head to Sequoia National Park, great stop over! Washer/Dryer, amazing pool, good beds, great pillows, Direct TV- tons of channels, and great staff. Highly recommend stopping in if this is on your route and you need a place.

Inside of room, fridge and microwave

I've stayed here often as pit stop motel going between LA and SF. Its a weird little motel that looks frozen in time. Like a set from some film noir movie. Usually the least expensive of the motels in Taft. Unlike some cheap places it has never felt unsafe, it is just very basic motel in a very small town. The rooms are small, good for two people. I late stayed there on 12/29/09 and the rooms where clean, bathroom was clean, and check-in was quick.

Room with two beds-  a desk, and a separate alcove with sink, fridge, microwave & coffee pot

Clean, basic, inexpensive. Free wi-fi, plus fridge, microwave, iron & board,and coffee pot. The owner is pleasant and friendly. Room has view of the parking lot, and the exterior is run down, but for $55 (two double beds), it is a deal. There is a good Mexican restaurant next door. This is a handy place to stay when visiting the Carrizo Plain, the Condor Sanctuary or Wind Wolves Preserve. LE.

I did not like this motel, Room was large, but bathroom tiny. You could see daylight around the AC unit.

This place was saved us from an otherwise cold and brutal night. My fiancé and I were traveling to…read moreLA from SF and right when we we had 1 hour left and hit the grapevine, CHP closed it due to snow. We then took the 33 to the 166 which ALSO closed. Shortly after 33 also closed. It was 1 am, below freezing, snowy, all roads where closed and we had nowhere to go. We called several motels that didn't pick up. When I called Best Western an agent picked up within seconds. She was very polite and empathetic to our stressful situation. She even called ahead to the hotel to make sure the road to the hotel wasn't also closed. I lost signal and the call dropped. Spoke to two other agents due to signal difficulties and they were all very pleasant as well. They got us a great rate for a king sized bed. Once we arrived our check-in was seamless and quick! The hotel is clean and has updated facilities. Our room was very spacious and came with a coffee maker, microwave and fridge. There was also a hot breakfast available until 9am! I was very impressed with the small space they have available near the cafe as a mini "business center". I had to take a business call after check -out and posted up in this room which was private and quiet. It's tiny but did exactly what I needed. It even has a computer and printer! Overall fantastic place to be. I definitely recommend this place.

I would've left 5 stars. Clean, cute, nice staff. I really like the rooms and lobby BUT I booked…read morehere for the pool and as I ready for a dip this morning THE POOL WAS DIRTY I couldn't get in the water I understand wind etc but there's definitely no pool filter etc.. I've been to pools all overrrr the place and never had to not get in because it was dirty . Disappointing.

It felt like staying at a family member's home. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Part of the…read moredrive there from LA included some winding roads, so I recommend planning your arrival time to be before sunset so you can drive while there's still daylight. Jim was there to meet us and show us our room. We got The Cowboy Room on the second floor (no live cowboys included! ) which we selected so that we could have separate beds. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. There were no other guests, so we had the whole floor to ourselves. It was super quiet and peaceful. I imagine it would be different if there was a house full guests. Jim gave us suggestions on things we could do and places to visit. He also gave us the code for the door, the wifi password, and warnings about bears. We opted to walk around the area and enjoyed a fantastic dinner at The Perch restaurant just a few minutes walk down the road. Coffee was available at 8 the next morning, Adriana made breakfast ready by 830am. We had eggs in hash brown cups, sausages, maple scones, toast with a variety of spreads, and fresh orange juice. Everything was delicious. Sorry I didn't take pictures, I was too busy eating! I was able to eat everything on the table. I had mentioned our list of food allergies upon reserving online and also emailed the list closer to the date. The communication was excellent. I would love to stay at Old Bear B n B again. Thank you, Jim and Adriana, for making us feel so comfortable and welcome.

This was our very first experience staying at a bed-and-breakfast, at The Old Big Bear BnB. Adriana…read moreand Jim's personalities shine throughout the property, with thoughtful touches with details both inside and out. The hot, homemade breakfast prepared by Adriana each morning far exceeded our expectations--so much more than the standard continental breakfast. Every dish was made with care and felt truly special. Both Adriana and Jim were exceptional hosts--warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. They made us feel less like guests in their own home and more like part of their extended family. Their charm and genuine hospitality set this place apart. While a bit of light maintenance could be done in some areas, it's easily overshadowed by the outstanding service and the overall experience. We're so glad this was our first BnB stay--it set the bar high!

I'm in the process of disputing this charge with CIti bank. Be careful - I just wanted to put that out there as the owners are trying to prevent me from getting my refund with blank pages to Citi with one watermark on the last page (to make this go on but I'm still fighting it.)

She then accused me of "sending my friend 2 days ago to complain about bed bugs" because I'm 'trying to ruin their business's which is both mildly funny and highly disgusting considering I've never sent anyone there and after this stay I 100% will not be telling A SINGLE person or friend to stay here. The lady who runs the desk and that you see the most is very disrespectful and speaks down on people especially when you mention any issues with the hotel. She will also do everything she possibly can to keep your deposit and if she cannot find anything she will treat you poorly and talk under her breath about you while you are walking out of the room. This is by far the absolute worst hotel I have ever stayed in. And the lady needs to learn to watch the way she speaks to people. It's lame as hell.

Attended a wedding there. It is a lovely and very rustic place if that's the vibe you're going…read morefor. Some caveats: * If the majority of your guests are coming from LA and are pretty much city dwellers, it's going to be an adventure getting here. It's literally in the middle of nowhere and at the wedding we attended, THREE cars ended up in a ditch (pre-wedding, so not as a result of drunkenness)... There are no paved roads leading to the venue. I'm from Kentucky originally so I've seen this before and was OK driving on these sorts of "roads"... but a lot of people aren't. * Bathrooms for guests are porta-potties. * Nearest hotel options are about a 20-minute drive away. * It's entirely outdoors. The indoor space is only for the bridal party to get ready and for the catering (which I believe you have to arrange yourself). Again, if that's what you're looking for - this can be very pretty. My friends had a fantastic wedding and the staff at the venue was remarkably friendly and did a great job. There was a small dance floor, an elevated area for dinner seating and an area for the bar. Coming from LA for the event, it is a commitment and a bit of a driving challenge, so know that going in.

I'm obsessed with this place! I had my wedding here two weeks ago and it was amazing! We arrived to…read morethe venue on Friday afternoon & set up all the tables, chairs and some decor! When we arrived, we were told we wouldn't be able to use the fire pit, kinda bummed since we paid so much money on s'mores & wood before we arrived... But better safe than sorry! The house is huge & slept my entire bridal party! (10) All of my guests loved the venue! It was so peaceful & the weather was amazing. I highly recommend this venue. It was everything we imagined & more. We will definitely be coming back for a vacation.
