Nice location, very quiet and check in was easy. King room facing pool very nice. Used pool and jacuzzi was very easy and comfortable. Nights had fire pits on and market lights around. The only thing we didn’t like was breakfast options. Donut, oatmeal or a roll similar to a dinner roll . Donuts everyday is too much as we arent oatmeal people . Better off if they had muffins or sweet rolls instead or a breakfast room. Nice that they had coffee in lobby. Would recommend! And has a Ev charging station!

The room was nice...bed comfortable. Bar was pretty cool. A fun stay all in all. Hitching Post is right down the street and only 15 miles from Lompoc with he Wineries there. Lots of great scenery and food.

I loved the whole experience but I prefer a much softer mattress. Maybe a thick mattress pad would have made a difference.

Ideal location next to the 101 fwy, good restaurants in the area, and beautiful sceneries. The hotel staff, lobby, parking, and clean room was all good. The only issue I experienced is the very low outdated toilet, and the bed is to high for my stature.
