    I like to avoid chains. This hotel has been in business going back decades. The staff are friendly and helpful. Michael checked me in and lent his bottle opener for me to use for my stay. The hotel has a modern aesthetic. The room is black white and red with gold. The shower was my sole concern. It was poorly designed, in that the controls cannot be reached without you getting wet. They are on the opposite side of the entrance. The showerhead is ginormous. There is no reaching around it. I had no choice, but get my hair wet when I had no intention to shampoo.

    The receptionist was rude. The second we walked in the door, he first thing she said was I need to see your ID. I asked why did I have to fill out all that information online and upload my ID and selfie then? She got defensive and said "oh you pre-registered? You just had to tell me that!" She then proceeded to ask "what is your name? Karen?" Intentional. Maybe. My name does start with a K. We got there at 3:30 and the room wasn't ready. Check in is after 3:00. She said they'll be ready in about 10 minutes but we'll have clean sheets and pillowcases on the beds and make sure it's clean for you. My mom jokingly said "Well I should hope so!" So we sat in the lobby to wait and she was standing there the whole time. After about 15 minutes I asked if they were going to call when it was ready and she said "you can go up now if you want" nah. We'll just sit here with out luggage staring at each other longer. Then we get in the room and I went to use the bathroom and there, on the wall next to the toilet, t looks like someone sprayed diarrhea on the bathroom wall. We went to get the cleaning lady in the hall, and told her. She didn't speak English but she came and looked. She left and a supervisor came back to ask what the problem was. We thought the visual was self explanatory. No English required. The supervisor saw it and said "Shit". Exactly. Then she went to get the cleaning lady to clean it. She almost got it all. The dried on accumulation of dripped conditioner on the wall wouldn't be a huge problem because it's just conditioner, but the fact that we were waiting in the lobby for them to clean the room and then this was on the shower wall indicated to me that they didn't even clean the shower before we came in. The bathroom sink was clogged and would fill in the time it took us to wash our face.The room was super noisy. The hardwood floors everywhere made the housekeeping staff yelling down the hall to each other and rolling their noisy carts back-and-forth by the room so loud you couldn't even hear the television. One of the queen beds was OK the other one had a noticeable dip in the mattress. It was odd that they only serve breakfast Monday through Friday from 6 to 8 AM. I don't know what you do if you stay there on weekends. The food was OK. Could've been warmer. And could've done without the hair in the butter. Bottom line...What I stay here again? Absolutely not. I was tempted to leave immediately and ask for our money back, but I didn't want to deal with it.

    Stayed here while visiting family. Hotel does not have staff on premises in the evening hours until morning for issues such as card not working. The owner blamed me saying I deactivated my card some how. Mattress was found to be very stained. When Expedia asked me to do a review on their site I did so and the "owner" responded very hostile as he/she did with every negative review blaming the customer for all items wrong. I would not recommend this place for anyone.

    Ceiling fan and light... no AC or heat in room.

    I'm pulling hard on this review to give the Inn at Highway 1 a three star review. While it would easily slide to a 2 star... and conversely, not push to a 4 star without prevarication... I'm deliberately applying a couple of lenses to this which may or may not apply to you, but they are true. Read on, if you dare. We made reservations on Booking.com, and considering the Memorial Day weekend rates, got a reasonable price. I try to stay exclusively at well-known hotel chains, where a bad experience at least offers some recompense from corporate. With only a two night stay planned, and throwing caution to the wind, I broke my own rule with this one. Lompoc is a quaint and rather simple community; this motel matches its surroundings. A two story building that looks like it was originally conceived as a low cost apartment building, the "Inn" has no pool, business center, workout room-- just rooms. The small office at the front was staffed by a very nice lady with a good sense of humor, so there's that. When we entered our room, the first thing I noticed was a strong chemical cleaner smell. As I stepped in, the vinyl fake-wood floors were greasy-slippery, as if they had been mopped with the wrong cleanser and air dried to a thick waxy film. Throughout our stay, I walked gingerly... like I was walking in a restaurant kitchen without non-slip shoes. The room featured a small table with two chairs, a ceiling fan, a king size bed (more on that later), night stands with lamps, a wardrobe/fridge/microwave/tv wall unit thing with drawers, and a giant bathroom with a massive shower. Maybe we got an ADA room? There was a shower seat in the shower, but no hand rails around the toilet. Towels, Soaps and shampoos were minimal. Hot water and good pressure. Fresh paint in and out of the building. The TV flatscreen was tiny, but my HDMI/computer combo worked to watch Netflix, so that helped. The bed: a king. I always lift the mattress and do a thorough bed bug check and there were No bugs! I pulled a drawer out of the wall unit-- no critters, no bugs, no filth. To their credit, the place was clean, despite the slippery build up on the floors. The mattress was old, a little beat up in the corners, and covered with basic linens-- again, adequate but nothing fancy. A look under the bed revealed that the center of the frame was held up with a pile of 2x4s (see photo). Again to their credit, the "repair" worked. Smallish pillows, but our busy and active days meant we fell asleep pretty quickly and got up early. I've slept in many better beds, but a few that were genuinely worse. I went to turn on the heater-- there wasn't one! See photograph showing the 220 plug in the wall but no AC/heater unit. And then it sort of hit me: they're trying to fix this joint up. A cursory internet search revealed the property has recently been sold, and ostensibly, the owners are fixing the place up. Older Yelp reviews demonstrate it was a 1 Star place, but that was not my assessment in 2019. The ACs haven't been installed... yet? The beds have not been replaced... yet? The shower featured new tile work and a new plate glass door... the bathroom had new countertops, but a tiny older toilet and a strange layout. All that to say... this is a couple steps below what I'm used to. If we had the kids with us, it would have sucked... but for a two night stay with my adventurous better half of 15 years, it was worth the story of having stayed there. Can't imagine I'll be back in Lompoc anytime soon, which predicates that I won't stay here again anytime soon, either. My guess is it is improving over time, but relativity being what it is, your satisfaction -- and number-of-stars experience-- may vary from mine.

Breakfast is provided. Mooom got an omelette which they make fresh and we requested that they use a clean pan and the guy was extremely accommodating and very respectful, he went ahead and cleaned out the pan from the meat remnant and made a delicious omelette for my mom (he did the same thing previously for my entire family when we stayed here before! My younger brother communicated to him in Spanish and he was such a gentlemen about it! My Spanish isn't as good so I asked humbly in English last time we went and he responded with the same grace!) 2-3 fire pits downstairs. Tables and chairs in the garden for snacks and food. Love the greenery and landscape. The pool & jacuzzi are swell too!

    Honestly, it was not a bad stay at all!…read more I only give this place 3.5 stars because it's pretty outdated in terms of furniture and layout. I loved how the bigger rooms/suites were in a separate building. I loved how conveniently assigned our room was to the doors/elevator. I know hotels tend to place families near them. The elevator was slow, but our halls were quiet. I felt like we were the only ones staying in our building and maybe we were. lol The breakfast room wasn't too far a walk, as it was in the same building near the pool. You need a key to get in there which I liked! Sometimes you don't want random people eating for free you know. Breakfast was a fully breakfast, and the lady kept everything clean and coming out. However, she was slow to refill and the eggs and bacon were a little oddly cooked. Like some of the thinnest bacon I've ever seen and the eggs were kind of rubbery. I did like the blueberry waffle mix though. And the fountain drinks were nasty! Checkin was smooth and the older black lady who helped us is super helpful and nice! They had the lobby festively decorated too for the holidays! Price was great for the sized room we have. Had a kitchenette, two bedrooms with tvs, two full baths, and another tv couch space next to the kitchenette. Rooms were decently cleaned, but the carpet was old and sunken in. Next to the dmv which I found odd, but wasn't too far from solvang which was the only reason we were in town!

    Pros: Personally my family and I had a great stay here!…read moreFront desk staff was curious and informative, beds were comfortable le and very clean and they were able to accommodate early check in for us, for free! Unlike most places checkout is 12 noon (compared to the standard 11am)!!! Free breakfast was pletiful and had a great variety of food, coffee choices, and juice choices. While we didn't visit the hot tub or pool, they looked nice with decent seating and lounging around it. Good parking but entrances into the place aside from the front desk were a little confusing. Also breakfast area (hospitality room) was a bit difficult to find (go to the pool. On the outside across from the spa, is the hospitality room. There is a sign). Cons: (mostly cosmetic. I can see bad reviews being picky or for spoiled "resort dwellers" lol) - Air conditioner stinks at higher temperatures and start up. Once it gets goin its good. - top cover of the bed is itchy....but not really needed? Just make sure it's on top of the sheet if you use it. - could use more in room lighting. - wiring and lighting could be updated...little on the older side. 100% functional though without issue - some small paint or glue touch ups could be done... cheap and easy to do to be honest and can go a long way - biggest issue was bathroom. It was clean enough with clean towels but wall paper could be glued down where loose or replaced, door hinges were super rusty and ugly (just cosmetic. Don't think I'd go out of my way licking them or rubbing my face on them anytime soon). Under the door had water damage...not really the hotels fault in my opinion. Maybe add a weather plate to protect it or at least cover it up. - shower knob.Requires a little know how and muscle. Had to call for instructions. To turn the water on pulls the center temperature knob outward (toward you). Muscle is required and it feels like it'll break but it won't. Turning it off is the same way, just push in hard.

Unfortunately, the condition of the room was far from what I expected. To start with the positives, both the evening and morning front desk associates were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, that was where the good experience ended. The room itself was in very poor condition. The lampshades were visibly dirty, and one even appeared to have what looked like a speck of blood on it. There was a thick layer of dust--about an inch--on the back side of the TV, which made it clear that the room hadn't been properly cleaned in quite some time. One of the "clean" towels had visible skid marks on it, which was honestly shocking and unacceptable. It didn't stop there--there was mold above the door and also on the bathroom wall. Then, upon checking out in the morning, I noticed a tissue hanging from the ceiling in the shower. That was the final straw. I did inform the front desk associate when I checked out, but I'm still stunned at the overall state of the room. This goes beyond a simple oversight--it reflects a serious lack of upkeep and attention to cleanliness. I hope Red Roof Inn takes a closer look at this location and invests in the maintenance and sanitation it clearly needs. Guests should not have to question basic cleanliness when staying at a hotel.

Most concerning was the fact that the door to our room did not have a working interior lock. We did not feel safe at all. Due to the unsafe environment and misleading advertising, we made the difficult decision to leave in the middle of the night and drive six hours back home. This was an extremely disappointing and stressful experience, and we regret booking this hotel. I would strongly advise others to avoid this property.
