Best Western Taylor Inn

Just stayed at the Best Western Taylor Inn this past Friday through Saturday morning. My family and I voluntarily evacuated our hometown last minute and headed north, when we heard Hurricane Harvey turned into a Cat4 Hurricane. The fine folks at the BW Inn had everything ready for us when we arrived! Not only was this place clean, it even has a restaurant called Masfajitas attached to the office building. Fantastic food, margaritas, full bar. Our rooms had a larger-sized refrigerator, flat screen tv, and really comfortable beds. The next morning, they had a full breakfast with sausage and eggs, waffles, etc. We were leary of driving home in the middle of a hurricane, because we didn't want to be stuck with all of the flooding. We waiting until 1:00 to depart when conditions were okay, and the Inn did not even charge us for another day! So thankful! If we ever have to evacuate again, this is where we'll be staying! less

I recently made my second visit to the Taylor Inn. I spent four straight nights, visiting family in Taylor. The Taylor Inn is not a modern hotel but I don't want to say "old." It's a throwback hotel that was standard in the 1970/80s where the room doors face the outside. It's well maintained, inside and out. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked well and satellite TV was good. I never saw any pests. The breakfast was acceptable but it was free so you get what you pay for. The Mexican restaurant, Masfajitas, attached to the front desk is the best in Taylor; very good. While I was there, the parking lot was filled with work trucks, but these guys were as quiet as church mice; too tired to get rowdy. The hotel just outside town next to the near-deserted airport and convenient access to US 79. I paid about $85 per night; just about right. I hope they keep this retro hotel as it is and not replace it for the sake of newness. Next time I'm in Taylor, I'll stay at the Taylor Inn. less

Have stayed at many Best Western Hotels and the Taylor Best Western was one of the best!. Great Mexican Restaurant next door also! Breakfast was always ready and the outdoor pool was perfect. Free chocolate chips cookies at the front desk was nice. less

From the outside, the BW looks like a dated 40 year old motor inn. The rooms, however, appear to have been updated in the recent past and were comfortable. The wifi worked fine and the breakfast was good. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. After the morning crew leaves for the day, there is merely one person manning the whole place. That wasn't a real big deal as I didn't have any requests but when I went to the outdoor pool it was in need of some serious skimming. Since the net was hanging on the gate, I just did it myself. A vacuuming was needed also but it wasn't too bad, maybe half a days accumulation. We made the best of it. The pool is good size. All in all, not a bad place to stay which is good because there's not many options in the town. less

Room was clean and tidy. They graciously let us check in a couple of hours early. But for the price ($132) it was not worth it. Our room, 204, never cooled and was just tolerable despite being on high the entire time with curtains pulled. A couple of residents sitting outside their doors constantly, smoking and drinking (Beer in brown paper bag). Breakfast was minimal. I've never seen eggs in such uniform color folded over like that. The sausage was edible, potatoes were fine. None of it was even warm though. less
