I was greeted by a lovely chatty girl at the front desk, if I recall correctly her name is Roxanna, who did a friendly and welcoming check in. We got our Hilton cookies (not all Hilton properties do this these days, I’m looking at you Hampton Inn hotels) and got a nice room. There was a slight mixup in which room was ours so initially I was sent to the wrong one, but Roxanna quickly apologized (yes, reading glasses, I hear you girl!) and fixed it. Next when we got in the room the airco seemingly didn’t function properly. When I wanted to return to reception to inquiry about this I met the hotel technician by accident near the elevator. When asking about the airco system the guy didn’t hesitate and immediately followed me to my room, reprogrammed the room thermostat and then said,”oh you like your room COOL? Wait…” and then put the airco in manual mode, which made the room temperature exactly to my likings and gave me a good night sleep. Big kudos and shout out to Raoul, he should be rewarded by the management for prompt customer service and a friendly word. Big warm thanks to Roxanne (apologies if I didn’t catch your name right) at the front desk for such a warm and friendly reception. These things matter nowadays more than ever… oh and the room and bedding was good too, will definitely stay again when in the neighborhood.

This is a hotel I’ve been staying at for the past 20 years as I come to the area for business a great deal. What I love about the hotel is the courtyard and the mostly nice staff. However, with a new manager in the past few years, the focus seems to have completely shifted from at least paying lip service to treat their customers well to only caring about maximizing profits. Now all businesses want to maximize their profit margins that’s why it’s called a business. But in the hospitality industry most businesses will at least try to accommodate the individuals who support them. The hotel itself is old and run down. They did room upgrades a few years ago and the new mattresses they put in were nicer than the old lumpy ones and the new office furniture was pleasant. They did nothing to fix other issues though. Many of the rooms have drawers that will not stay closed, sinks that won’t drain unless you take them apart and fix them, plumbing that groans, rattles, and burps constantly, and mini refrigerators that have no remaining shelves and don’t keep food at a safe temperature (they don’t cool to more than tepid). I could still put up with having to repair items in my room as long as it was reasonably clean and I could get a good nights sleep so I could work the next day. Since the change in management, things aren’t improving. The maids are all very nice and very hard working, but like many hotels they seem to have limited time to clean rooms. My feet are filthy if I don’t wear shoes and I no longer enjoy trying to sit on the stained furniture. Well, not since I stuck to one of the chairs. Maybe a child had spilled something sticky and it wasn’t noticed. The front desk staff and the kitchen staff are really nice for the most part but it seems the management has tied their hands when it comes to keeping people happy. I have had only one desk person be horrible, and it seems every time I see her there is no one smiling. For example one early morning I had to leave to drive to the Santa Barbara airport. It was 3 am. I was attempting to check out but the wi-fi was down and I had to go to the front desk. The doors were locked and instead of letting me in she yelled through the door asking what I wanted. I said to check out. But she wouldn’t let me in the locked front entrance to do that. She asked me my room number and I shouted it to her (the only way she could hear) but she still didn’t grasp that I needed my receipt and still refused me entry. And there was the security guard standing there with her so I’m sure she wasn’t afraid to open the door and give customer service. I eventually gave up trying to yell through the door and threw my key at it and left. It irritated me because I know having to shout to make myself heard was waking up all the other folks sleeping soundly in the front rooms. On one of my latest trips a co-workers car was vandalized in the parking lot. It had a hole punched in the gas tank underneath and gas was all over the

La stanza è buona, il letto è troppo morbido, l'altra stanza non è buona per il suono, e l'hotel vecchio e bellissimo non è stato usato per uscire?Come fa questo effetto di isolamento?

Pensavo davvero che questo hotel sarebbe stato zen-come la parola ”Lotus”. Era l'opposto. Il tempo che siamo arrivati in camera ci erano persone inquietanti che stavano fuori, guardando mia madre e io ogni mossa. Era davvero terribile. Quando entrammo, ci profumavamo immediatamente, pensavamo che fosse solo un odore temporaneo, ma si stava perdendo. Ho indicato da dove veniva, ed era nelle tubazioni che collegavano il bastone. Era davvero orribile. Ho dovuto usare il profumo di mia madre per nascondere l’odore, ma non mi ha aiutato. Ho dovuto chiudere la porta al bagno per respirare adeguatamente. Tuttavia, mi sorprendevo di poter dormire. Ho rimasto lì per una notte, grazie a Dio, perché non credo di poter rimanere un secondo notte. Era solo seme e mi sentivo come se vivessi nel ghetto. Oh, e il tavolo e il letto di ferro si diffusevano di tinture. Non si sa cosa fosse, ma era crudele. Purtroppo, questo era l'unico hotel disponibile quel fine settimana, mentre il resto era stato prenotato. La prossima volta dovrei pianificare prima.

Dando un aggiornamento 2023 su questo. Ho soggiornato di recente per un fine settimana di vacanza, quindi i prezzi erano alti. Questo posto è al di sopra della classe di bilancio indipendente di motel a Lompoc. Molto generico, ma più pulito, entrambi in e fuori, che i motel concorrenti nella sua classe. Se siete a lungo andati a visitare e vi sono stati venduti una storia su questo essere ”paese del vino”, pregatevi di prendere questo consiglio da un locale: Lompoc è una città molto povera, dura scratch con la maggior parte degli abitanti che lavorano in età. (agricoltura di barbabietole e camion vegetali), in prigione federale, o posti di lavoro a basso livello a Vandenberg SFB. Alcuni quartieri della città sono molto pericolosi e non si vuole camminare da soli la notte. Una buona cosa su questo sito è che è abbastanza a nord sulla strada H per farti meno della minaccia del gang-banger. Quindi si può usare Lompoc come base più conveniente per esplorare le belle aree circostanti, ma siate realistici circa la città stessa. L'Hotel Hotel di Highway 1 è accettabile per i viaggiatori di bilancio avventura che sono single o coppie - ma non avrei mai una famiglia o un paio di più anziani qui, potrebbe funzionare bene anche per un viaggiatore di business di bilancio. Pagare più di $140 o $150 per una notte qui è inaccettabile.Se si può ottenere una prenotazione per meno di $110 per notte, va bene.Ma sarei esitante a pagare più di quello, a meno che non abbiate esaurito tutte le altre opzioni.

La stanza è grande e la colazione è ricca.Il rapporto prezzo è molto alto.

Perfect stop off for a pacific coast road trip. Not much in the area but who cares if driving. It's just a place to sleep. Lots of parking, a pool and clean. And so, so cheap. If only all the rooms along the way of the road trip were this cheap. Also, Isavel on the front desk that checked us in was very friendly. Sometimes a little genuine smile goes a long way. And she was helpful the next morning when checking out too. If doing a Cali road trip, don't hesitate to stop off here. Gas station, target short drive away.
