Nicely renovated motel. Would return if in area again. Check in and out was a breeze. Friendly staff. ROOM: • Adequately sized for 2 adults and 1 dog. • Clean and tidy thought looks a little worn down in some areas (bathroom). • Barnyard sliding door for bathroom not desirable — no privacy! :( • Keurig, mini fridge, and microwave. 👍 • A/C unit needs to be replaced eventually, did not work half the time but we visited during winter so it was not a big deal. • We requested and were accommodated a room away from the pool that was facing the back parking lot. Day time was active w/ the campers at the RV sister property, but we did not mind, as it quieted down by evening. PARKING/LOCATION: • Plentiful. Easy to get in and out. • Location is not exactly pretty (next to freeway/gas station) but convenient. • Downtown Solvang is a 2 min drive. Chumash casino about 15 min. • We returned to our room around midnight and it was dead quiet even the hotel had a lot of occupants. • Dog relief area clean and conveniently located in the back parking lot area. LOUNGE/BAR: • Attentive, polite staff. • Good, strong drinks. • Nice decor, cozy size. • Crowd was middle aged 40 with what appeared to be some locals (good sign). Maybe younger crowds on the weekends. • Closes a little early at 10pm. Would have liked to have some drinks before turning in but no biggie we drank at the casino.

Bed was OK, Amana Heaters (from 1968) were loud, no dresser. No vanity or shelf space in bathroom. Hanger clothes can reach the floor...I think you get it.

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.
